Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[FromTheLogo]

This does look like earlier in the year when when the three is open, guys won't take it. Then they look to pitch to Kofi insid. He's fouled and then misses free throws.

We’ve won 7 in a row. We’re laying an egg tonight. Stand behind my top 10 MEN any day of the week.

Stuff like this happens.

May as well have Curbelo shooting 3s. Nothing else is working.

I didn't mind that shot at all even though he missed.

 

[Deleted member 747277]

Their length is hurting us. They are collapsing on our 2 best players, and the subsequent decision making is playing right into MSUs hands.

can sub “OSU” and “Maryland” for “MSU”.
Hope we don’t have to play a team with any amount of length from here on out...

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

When was the last time DMW made a 3pter? Kid needs to shot it more often when he gets the looks.

Had a open look and passed on it.

Curbelo and dmw on the floor at the same time means it is 3 on 5 offensively.

Lot of garbage comments in this thread.

Shame on some of you.

When a top ranked team is down 20 to a lesser foe, the comments are not the first place that one can find garbage.

 

[hooraybeer]

just doesn’t seem like we have it tonight unfortunately

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Not sure where the disconnect is tonight, but if you went back and watched how many times our all-americans guy got offensive boards you'd be surprised. No box out, no body, no check, nothing.

For both of them

 

[hoopsfan47]

My biggest hope at this point is that the Illini make every blunder and miss every shot conceivable......so they will be completely out of both for the rest of the year.

 

[CubsWin]

2 assists in 10+ Big 10 games says he's never going to pass

Exactly. As an opposing coach, why wouldn't you triple team him every time he touches the ball? He hasn't shown any willingness to pass out of it, and when they foul him he will miss the free throws.

Throw giorgi in and might as well have 2 of the 3 stay back on defense

 

[Lexis20]

Down 20 and Brad has Curbelo, Giorgi, and Damonte playing. Need points.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Sparty super, super confident in victory at the moment.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

I fully expect us to make a huge run at the 4 minute mark that comes up just short, then we lose by 10-12 in desperation time. This has to be a wake up to a team that has had many of them this season. A performance like this does not inspire confidence for a special season.

Just as well get them minutes. Not erasing 20 points.

 

[Deleted member 11228]

That's a bad call on Williams

Kicking a team while they are down, especially when its a team composed of guys you bleed for, is some armchair QB trash. Keep that energy, all you Debbie Downers.

I-L-L

 

[hoopsfan47]

He meant to say " but in spite of an excellent steal without fouling"...the whistle blows.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Cubelo throwing the ball all over the place. When will it end?

 

[skyIdub]

Curbelo bringing this team back would be exactly what this board needs!

Never say never. The fat lady is only on her second plate.
