Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[Orangetool]

I’d keep trapping young, make the rest of these guys beat us. They won’t.

Yup.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Maryland shot 50 percent from the floor in the first half. That just can't happen

Not surprising with most of their shots coming from inside the paint.

 

[zentrails]

Last points and the ball to start the 2nd half. Did a bit better on Young the last 5 minutes.

That foul by Hawkins so far from the hoop hurt and bailed out Young. Ugh!

Yep hope Coleman doesn't pick up his third too early in the second half.

 

[abchew2]

Giving up 38 to Maryland isn’t great but we did try some different things which I take as a positive. Clean up the over aggressive closeouts and I think this can be a double digit win like we all want to see.

Their coach is a punk, their fans are classless and the ugliest students in the big10.
Now let's not give up 50 in the 2nd half and throat stomp them. I typically bite my lip and show restraint. Maryland is a bunch of goons. Spank em men!

Yet continues to happen. Every. Game.

In that case, can we still bring Egwu back for the second half?

 

[WyattEarp]

One possible change is to start Guerrier on Reece and use him to trap then Coleman can rotate to Reese during the trap.

 

[OB positive]

So, clarification, I'm assuming coaches who are standing in bounds can't grab a live ball that is also inbounds?

what is the actual rule?

I'm sure it's either an automatic technical or the other teams ball.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

24 to 14 in the paint in favor of Maryland. 52-26 in Champaign.

Keep the guards out of the lane!

 

[phats22]

I'm sure it's either an automatic technical or the other teams ball.

Assuming the same. Also, thought their coach's interaction with TSJ was almost as B league as grabbing the ball.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Last I heard, he was playing in Japan so that's probably a no.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Casey Jacobsen is a terrible analyst. He brings nothing to the broadcast.

Dude could play though. One of my earlier memories of basketball is watching him play for Stanford.

Hey…. Just because we are so damn good looking doesn’t make it less rude to call them out for being ugly!

BIG refs would call it a tech on the other team whose coach didn't touch the ball

Would kill to have a rim protecting center off the bench.

You are kidding there. He was an absolutely phenomenal player.

 

[Wade]

This would have been a good game to throw sincere on young to shut him down, or at least bother him.

 

[Rainier Wolfcastle]

Would kill to have a rim protecting center off the bench.

Not only that…But Egwu’s pick and roll defense was outstanding. He could hedge and recover very quickly

 

[HailtotheChief]

Loved when TSJ started taking the ball to the hoop in the 1/2 court and got to the line. If he continues to do that I like our chances.

16 Fts in the first half and Domask and TSJ hit em.

 

[hiberto]

maybe Anderson will give willard the business this time in the handshake line

Approved

 

[illiniguy24]

I’m pulling out all the stops for an Illini win tonight. Date with the wife and I’m not making the place turn on the game, and a small wager on MD money line keep it up gents, bring it home

Maryland is barely relevant on the college basketball landscape, but I still really dislike their coach, their players, and their fans.

Other than that
