Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[aaeismacgychel]

Huge 3 by RJ. Had a terrible first 10minutes, been one of our best 2 players these past 15min

Our young guys are learning tonight. Part of the process! A lot of calls going MD way & we’re missing our usual defensive “bounce” tonight, it happens, if we’re going to make a move to turn the tide, it needs to be now, put their flame out because they’re playing well.

Weren't we down by like 15 to UCLA at roughly this point in that game? Gut check time!

RJ getting hosed by refs all night

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I absolutely hate that shot by Mayer. I cannot say how much I loathe that shot.

Agreed!

RJ is gonna make a CoHawk type leap, I'm just not sure if it's gonna be this year or next.
If it's this year, we're a FF team.

 

[Illini8420]

We’re usually good at wearing teams down second half. How deep is Maryland?

 

[JSpence]

Do Hawkins, Shannon, and Clark have the legs for this? They aren't hardly leaving the court.

 

[Chillinini]

RJ showing glimpses of what he can do and how he can get this team on a run.

 

[azillini1]

coleman hawkins only one whose showed up thus far

Shannon and RJ have contributed. Just poor defense by us and poor shooting. Terps shooting 50%. and they are 7 of 16 from 3.

Have we a good look from 3 within the flow of the offense once the entire game?

If we get the defensive stuff cleaned up we will be fine but remains to be seen we have done it for spurts.

 

[HailtotheChief]

How that not an offensive foul. Elbow to RJs vhops

 

[grantlab]

I’d love to see a Dainja spurt here.

If he makes a Coleman-like leap,l this year, that would mean we have 3 NBA draftees on the roster and I hope we'd make a deep run. Ha!

 

[PNWIllini]

One strong run from taking the lead. Anyone got it in them?

Classy.

 

[Clngpl94]

If we could get a couple stops we can flip this script!! Let's go fellas!!

He needs to get stronger. More time with Fletch.

Hey, I'm an optimist.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Cracking me up. Refs have been fine. Sure some missed calls but letting both teams bang. Illini’s problem has been they can’t stop reaching in.

If they catch the dude, he should be made to do a tongue mop…

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Not much going our way tonight.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

We are getting NO calls at the rim.
