Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[aaeismacgychel]

Z has to figure it out…gets tossed to the ground when the shot goes up once again…and lays there for a painfully long time to allow Maryland to get an offensive rebound. Thankfully they got no points on that possession

Problem is he just doesn't have the strength and conditioning. He basically made little to no physical improvement under Cal. If I'm Fletch, I'd get in his ear every single day this offseason saying that if he wants to play in the NBA, the weight room is his new home.

Who you taking out?

Andre

 

[KBLEE]

Andrej looks to have the foot speed to stick with Miller

Someone explain Jake MF Davis on the bench to me like I’ve never watched basketball.

Idk but we’ve gotten the lead to the highest it’s been twice during the time he’s been out

Not sure that means anything tho bc I was wondering what you are wondering too lol

 

[New Creation]

I bet this team is sick .. or a bug has gone through the team.

 

[skyIdub]

Who you taking out?

Ben or Andrej.

 

[FleetFeetIllini]

Man, Ivisic Bros both ending the season from 3 like Justin Harmon did a few years ago. Ugly.

 

[fishbed]

Sit your butt down Kicky McClapsalot

Washington = one of the dirtier players in B1G

 

[Ryllini]

Andrej looks to have the foot speed to stick with Miller

And not in foul trouble. Be physical and move him off his spot if you have to.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

I don't ever want to hear or see "Mirk is unplayable" in a game again. Let him play through it. That's what you do with your best players on the roster.

Tomi's been "unplayable" most of the season yet has gotten a long leash. To me, the only reason you bring him back is if you get Z too....

NBA? He's hardly playable at Maryland. Until he develops a post game, he'll just be a tall guy on a team of tall guys.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Clear foul LMAO

Yup, Brad had the flu earlier this week

 

[AnnaMay]

What has happened to our rebounding?

It dissappears when we are just ho-humming along in games. Zero fire and desire with this team. So much potential and skill. Watch Michigan State play with one third of the talent that we got, yet they play like they will die if they lose.

I was just getting ready to say the same thing.

 

[ejam21]

lol at Washington complaining after clearly fouling

Should’ve fouled out 10 mins ago

 

[fatboyslim]

We're lucky Coit doesn't have his stuff.

Hasn't been good for a while. 27 points in his last 5 games

 

[HailtotheChief]

Is Steve Smith not watching the game? A little bit of the wrist! Lol

 

[DICKnaggie]

Is Keaton sick? His free throws are all short, hitting front of rim and he just seems slower.

 

[Battle89]

LOL even KW’s made free throws look tired going in.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Mills could should full court shots and they'd swoosh

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I was just getting ready to say the same thing.

He's not good defensively and Ben can rebound.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Clear foul LMAO

Lol the one time Smith disagrees with the officials it's an obvious foul. WTF is this offense

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

My gosh. Mills just throws crap up and it goes in.
