Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan

[stlillinifan]

Just horrible... turnover, turnover, turnover... system offense looks clueless - sorry, but JW needs to do something sooner than later. #illinipride

3. Why would we ever have a line-up of Tate, Abrams, Jordan, Kipper, and Mav? It seems like such a bad offensive group (outside of Mav) that I just don’t get it.

Beilein is great at half time adjustments - Groce is trying to confuse him so much he won't know what adjustments to make.

As they say in tennis: Game. Set. Match.

Honest question. Can we score 50 against the lowest ranked defensive team in B1G?

 

[Second and Chalmers]

He's pretty good IMO. Tons of NBA upside.

He's been really impressive in both of the games with us, but I haven't seen much else of Michigan and I'd never heard of him.

I have said it before this year and my opinion hasn't changed. This is the worst Illini team of my lifetime. They are unwatchable.

 

[BlindLoyalty]

No fight in these Illini on the road. Heads hanging and a lot of quit in them. Time for the moral victory scoring run after the game was already decided.

 

[CoalCity]

I'm sorry guys. I go overboard at times. I understand the frustration. I guess that I don't feel like it is as bad as some believe.

How can you NOT think it's as bad as some believe? Are you WATCHING this game? It's awful. They look like they've never played the game. SENIORS!

Yes--we did it in the first half alone 10 days ago.

 

[EJ33]

Are we in for a repeat of 2012?

 

[Ken]

I hate losing but you can accept that they happen . But what bothers me more than anything about this team is that it has no style of play. How does this happen on both sides of the ball when you have so many seniors ?

I think the point was that it's not the end of the world, not that we're not playing poorly.

12-6, .667 winning percentage, 2-3 in the B1G #yaoming

About to be 12-8. 2-5 in the B1G, and heading towards the 4th straight year of not playing in the NCAA Tournament. I think it's much worse than people think. With the right leadership it can be fixed quickly IMO.

Unfortunately, we're about to be 12-8, 2-5. You're a week behind.

 

[txillini11]

Tracy just keeps getting worse. What a train wreck this team is.

 

[Cheez]

Yeah, that's not good enough for this program. Illinois is better than this.

Or, Illinois should be better than this.

Illinois should not be another mediocre program that misses the tournament every year. That's northwestern.

 

[Second and Chalmers]

Oh no Malcolm. Ankles broken.

Message to Groce: Buh Bye.

 

[PostersLastStand]

I feel for Tracy, but he has to come out of the game. Groce has to try something different. Man we are making a terrible team look great.

*12-8, 2-5. Hard to see where more than 3-4 more wins come from.

Illinois CAN be better than this. I think that's the word to use.

I don't think this is as bad. I mean obviously this team is terrible, but didn't that team start like 15-3?

 

[GoosenibbleScooter]

Groce has got to go these kids are in disarray! Absolutely awful I think I'm going to hang some wallpaper I've seen enough this year! Come on Whitman get rid of this staff today!

 

[IntenselyOrange]

Down 19 on the road to a team with no real chance of making the tournament is pretty bad. Like the Nebraska game.

I don't anyone is talking about the end of the world they're talking about this terrible exhibition of basketball. If watching this doesn't lose you off maybe you should see someone.
