Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan

When Quincy cuts >>>>>>

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I am not sure if I like it..

Our insiders know more than us, but I'm guessing that coach had beef with some guys and anyone that he sees getting out hustled is getting pulled.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Moretti's been good so far, IMO. Hoping that he gets more opportunities.

 

[the national]

We keep making adjustments in this game. A lot of personnel, lots of communication. This is a good start.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Juwan Howard sounds like a moron to me.

 

[illini12345]

Is QG a legitimate NBA prospect? I haven’t seen any draft boards, but he cuts well, finishes well around the rim, and seems to have really found his shooting stroke.

 

[jumpingjack]

Guerrier is earning himself some post-college hoops $ over the past month, methinks.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I didn't hate those minutes with that group.

The defense was really lousy, but I liked the movement on offense. Brad's blender is set to frappe right now

 

[the national]

7/16 and 2/4 from three. Not a bad shooting start.

 

[McGuppin]

I've really come to appreciate Quincy's game. Always looking to cut, can knock down a 3 & gets after it on the boards. He's become such an important piece for us. Great addition.


Edit: I see we are tracking @illini12345

Marcus has to adjust to the double teams. Nicely done right there

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Domask looking out of sorts recently with the turnovers and missed shots.

 

[the national]

Domask just schooled Howard.

 

[FloridaMan]

Rebound? Come on!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Our defensive rebounding has been trash these past 3 games. Need to be better on the boards

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Rebounding. Ugh.

 

[Bigtex]

Michigan every bit as big and athletic as Illinois

 

[grantlab]

Defensive rebounding the last 4 or 5 possessions is really the only reason we’re not up double digits right now

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

I should be happy with the lead but it feels like it should be a lot bigger

 

[Chillinini]

My suspicion is Brad wants someone to run the offense and take some pressure of Marcus. Not sure DGL is that guy.

I get that logic. But just the timing. B1G road game, tough environment (usually). Big time ask and challenge for Nico. Hope he embraces it and succeeds.

 

[CleverHandle1]

The more you let this crappy team get offensive rebounds and hang around, the more of a chance you lose the game.

It's early, but unacceptable. Hopefully, they figure it out.

 

[Chad Fleck]

The environment seems pretty tame to me.

I agree about the offensive end of the floor, but on the other end, he needs to work on defense and boxing out.

 

[OB positive]

Reed got away with shove in the back.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Illinil shooting 47% for the game, 50% from the arc, and 80% from the line with 1 turnover. Any coach would like that but Michigan is scoring easily too. Just keep that as the floor and time will take its toll on Cheatigan.
