dainja butter fingers ugh

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Epps with 3.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Can't say I'm very pleased of the inconsistency of the refs in this game. Just no calls whatsoever going our way despite contact meanwhile they're calling tickytack ones on us

 

[illinifreak30]

Epps breathes, Big Ten away ref FOUL

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We are rattled, which makes sense.

Young team playing in a hostile road environment for the first time.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Gotta lock down on defense

 

[Sean8328]

Dainja is a mess right now my goodness...

 

[skyIdub]

Way too many mistakes.

 

[Illini_Jack]

3 on Epps

 

[spillini]

We are shook

 

[Ramrod2010]

This feels like it's teetering on the edge of getting run out of the gym.

 

[InDaAZ]

Epps with 3.

Usually, that is a good thing…

 

[ThetaDragons]

Not our night.

Seems that way, it’s early. Plenty of time to settle down and turn it around

 

[CentralILLini]

Lot a loser posts so far. Well done “men”.

 

[Coop70]

Chasing the the ball, not getting defensive position.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Wow. Missing close shots and cannot corral a steal. Very weak. Maryland "outtoughing" the Illini?

 

[azillini1]

Getting out-muscled the last 6 minutes or so. Other than CH in the first few minutes, shots are not falling and not getting good shots in the paint.

 

[blife]

Got to get our heads in the game, do NOT dig yourself a deeper hole than we are already in.

 

[grantlab]

We’re not out of it, but we have not been the tougher team, and that seldom leads to a win on the road, especially against a seemingly top 20 team. Need to turn things around right now. A lot of time yet, but need a basket.

 

[JSpence]

This feels like it's teetering on the edge of getting run out of the gym.

I mean, it was 14-11 and then I come back and it's 16-28...

 

[Clngpl94]

This isn't going to end pretty at this rate...

 

[InDaAZ]

Lot a loser posts so far. Well done “men”.

Welcome to the game thread, where all is lost and woe are us…

 

[HailtotheChief]

Gotta make the lay ups n shots from a few feet We have miss a half dozen at least.
Our good shooters need to be ready to shoot it when they can.

 

[blife]

Get it under 10 and limp into halftime and regroup

COLEMAN.
