Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[Rooftop]

Mills fouled Keaton

No he didn’t. Keaton out of position and played it weak!!

 

[Illinisnake]

Here’s my question, our guys are this tired and we don’t play any zone???? What was the reason we hired a new DC if we were gonna run the same chase around defense?

 

[DB11Headband]

Mills is and will be a issue here on out

Not at Maryland

Mills fouled Keaton

Gotta meet the ball

 

[Kernal12]

Run offense through Mirk and Dre. Keaton is a shadow of himself today.

 

[UCantHideYer]

It’s going to take one heck of a foul by Mills for the refs to actually call it and take him out of this. Hero ball, knowing this.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Typical Ben. Either 0-6 or 4-5 and hardly anything in between it feels like

Nit. 0-6 in a game where we absolutely need them. 4-5 in a game we win by 20+.

 

[New Creation]

Every offensive possession should be find the match up on mills and get him foul’d out.

 

[Jersten]

Illini soft...
No heart
Zero intensity

 

[Trueblue777]

What is wrong with this team? WAKE UP !!!!!!!

 

[DICKnaggie]

We look absolutely lost. And this is not a one-game thing.

The pattern of not being up games against lesser opponents is on Brad. Low effort, energy and focus with plenty of time to prepare is unacceptable when it happens repeatedly.

What in the world are these close outs...they are a terrible 3 point shooting team, don't forget the scouting report just because they made a bunch early

I mean we are 75 percent though the game and they are still around 40 percent ?

 

[hoopsfan47]

I really see no glaring lack of effort from our guys...Md. is making shots and rebounding above their pay grade. We are not hitting shots so must defend like banshees. Let's hope both teams can return to their norm...but that is little to depend upon.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Those two missed wide open threes from Ben better now come back and bite us in the butt.

After EVERYTHING that has gone on, THAT'S the issue you're focusing on?

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

We ain’t winning this, fellas. We can’t stop Mills and our offense is struggling to get open looks…

 

[azillini1]

We are 19 of 26 from 2, but only 4 of 19 from 3

 

[KBLEE]

They're allowed to mug us on one end and get the benefit of phantom fouls on the other.

 

[fantasydaily708]

Letting them hang around better finish strong they are playing hard

 

[Bigtex]

Remember a lot of comments about how UConn loss would get us ready for March. Close ot losses would get them ready for March. Hopefully this isn’t what was meant getting ready for March

 

[RDS]

Do we have a single made 3 in second half?

 

[Retro62]

Our 3 pt. percentage is 19

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Mills is and will be a issue here on out

What happens when you play with your food. Some how we've lost the killer instinct and who we play aren't scared. I'd also help if we could hit a 3 or 2

 

[March2TheArch]

Big 10 guards are feasting on our defense.

We can not stay in front. And our big men are too slow to help without compromising the lane.

I personally feel exhausted seeing how exhausted our players look.

 

[AugustWest]

We’ve seen this movie many times before

 

[AT6]

We’re shooting 19% from the 3. That’s a problem.
