Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan

[RockfordIllini]

I swear I love the quality of most of our 3 pt looks!

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Crazy that Michigan thinks they should play a zone against us.

 

[IlliniSon]

I cannot watch Hunricous hoist up errant 3 pointers all afternoon. It makes me sick.

 

[HailtotheChief]

On D he has dine great with tomi out today but he. Kj and others gotta hit good looks
I haven't seem many bad looks from 3

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

How is this team so bad at shooting threes? Most of these looks are wide open. Some 9 seed team is just going to pack the pain and let us shoot em and beat us horribly.

Honestly, this has to be psychological now. These guys forms look too good to be this bad. They need to do visualization or something damn.

 

[RockfordIllini]

Also Ben is our only other playable big right now. He will be in when Tschetter is in for better or worse.

 

[Ryllini]

I hope Ben can find something. I don’t think he’d even hit water if he jumped out of a boat into the ocean

 

[WyattEarp]

For. The. Love. Of. All. That. Is. Our. Beloved. Illinois. Basketball. Get. Ben. Off. The. Floor.

Jesus H. Peanut Butter Cups.

I want a peanut butter cup now.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Broken mentally. Don’t have any faith he will give much moving forward.

These are WIDE OPEN SHOTS.

It's totally psychological. They need a shooting pshycologist or something. Just broken mentally shooting the ball.

At times it's almost they're better contested than open since they don't think as much... it's totally in the head.

Crazy to think what we could've been if we just shot average in these big games.

Kylan's been really good.

 

[maxatlof]

They had a two on one with both players under the bucket for a layup, of course the eff it up and it turns into a 5 point swing for Michigan. I swear to God this team comes up with more ways to beat itself than any Illini team I can remember from the past 15 yrs

 

[hoopsfan47]

He is playing aggressively on offense without chucking early threes...a very good Kylan.

 

[TheodoreRex]

worst part is Tomi immediately gave him an amazing pass right back which should've been an immediate layup, Ben hesitates and throws it out of the paint. Fan-flippin-tastic Benjamin

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

We need to keep Tomi out until half. Need those fouls!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

I understand we have to take wide open threes when they're given to keep the defense honest, but we can't take threes early in the shot clock for goodness sake. Come on Bos.

 

[FoundersClub]

We would be up 15 if we could shoot

 

[DeeIL89]

Cmon DGL.

 

[chibar]

id rather play boswell at the 4 than keep seeing Ben

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Who pulled DGL aggression card? This is a game we could use it

 

[blife]

Tomi with 2, not good.

 

[ginabackes00]

Lazy play by DGL

 

[NASchamp]

Our shot selection is bad. We’re just choosing to take much harder shots. That’s very hard to sustain over the course of a game.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Focus SGL. Catch the ball with 2 hands or sit!

 

[Jimbo]

Goldin’s fiance is pretty.

 

[hoopsfan47]

LIkely...from reports...he is in practice but can't take it to game time.

 

[skyIdub]

I understand we have to take the wide open threes when they're given to keep the defense honest, but we can't take threes early in the shot clock for goodness sake. Come on Bos.

It is beyond debate that we are a better team when we run offensive sets.
