Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[PasadenaIllini]

But when you got 4, you can’t play physical on defense. He has to stay on the court in that situation, it doesn’t matter what happened before that

Sure. I have no problem with pointing that out, but blaming our situation in this game on him entirely isn't just at all.

 

[New Creation]

need a dislike button here. this is absolutely not on him.

KJ absolutely killed us. This game was extremely winnable and he just gave it away.

I have a feeling that was satire

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Morez getting absolutely bodied....nothing. pathetic.

So is WRs 2 FT misses.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Free throw shooting has been a problem today.

 

[altgeld88]

Bear down. Get stops. Win this thing.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Can we not make a flipping layup or free throw? My gosh do we shoot ourselves in the foot over and over again.

Also, can we just give up another layup to MSU?

 

[jacekpardol]

That 5th foul was 100% on KJ.

Right 2 of the 5 were legit, 1 of the 5 - could go either way, 2 of the 5 were down right awful

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

They might have found something with Rez, Tomi, Will action

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Next time Holloway pushes KB with that shoulder, I'd love to see KB flop like he's Ace Baldwin

 

[the juiceman cometh]

We did. Then the refs too Riley out, too.

Riley scored 16 real quick but then went quiet like halfway into the first half, well before fouls took him out.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Much better movement offensively. I love Will's cuts off the ball.

 

[altgeld88]

Ivisic so soft.

 

[FoundersClub]

1 for our last 5 from the line?

 

[IlliniKat91]

If we're not going to hit layups and free throws, we're not going to get back into this

 

[ginabackes00]

I wish Riley would try and dunk going at the basket.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Morez getting absolutely bodied....nothing. pathetic.

So is WRs 2 FT misses.

If it wasn't for WR, we'd have lost by 20.

 

[bleedorange and blue]

How many games has kj fouled out of this year?

 

[punchabove33]

Well, I like WR's aggressiveness.. maybe this is the game we get OG Riley back..

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Should've been 3, ended up with nothing... big moment there

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Will, make this freaking free throw.

 

[derrick6]

Thank goodness for Jeff “high knees” Anderson.

 

[eas23]

Man, Will not finishing that first one was a massive play.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Love the fight on this team. F the refs

 

[New Creation]

Why is Riley one of our worst FT shooters.. It really is a mind blowing..

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Have to adjust paint defense. Scoring at will at the rim

We just don't have good low post defenders. Our forwards don't position or move their feet well enough.
