Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan

[Old Farm Illini]

He’s playing decent defense which makes it worth it if it means that Ivisic can avoid foul trouble.

 

[FloridaMan]

About what I expected to end the half. Bad basketball continues. Michigan played like absolute dog and we have a 1 point lead with no momentum. What a season.

 

[Leelnd]

They have made up there mind. It's all bens fault.

 

[WyattEarp]

-Wolf looks like Wolfbait out here. He’s having a rough one.

-We beat ‘em with high pick n’ rolls…early but Illinois can’t shoot…so Good move Dusty mixing up Defense and showing zone

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

He just hasn't been good today is the nicest way I can put it.

40 seconds... 30 second possession... would love to score but CANNOT let them score here. Kinda the same spot as that RU game end of first half

LOL

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

And Ben gives up more points….

…my god is he fking awful at this game…

 

[FoundersClub]

Michigan has to love being down only 1 after that first half effort.

 

[New Creation]

ben is amazing

 

[TheodoreRex]

Well, overall, the defense was pretty darn good. Our offense was atrocious... Ben can't see the floor at all. KJ needs to be told to just run the offense and stop looking to get his- he is FORCING it so much. Just play defense, rebound, and make our offense flow.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Bad rotations.

 

[risingfalcon98]

Weird half-feel like we should be up 10 and down 10 the same

 

[biglug58]

Brad fuming, walking quickly off the court. Watch out trashcan.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Our end of half all season
Get up 8 at half!

 

[thehass]

Nobody stops our momentum like we do. Mind boggling decisions has kept Michigan in the game.

Ditto

 

[Jimbo]

Not bad. A lead at halftime.

 

[jumpingjack]

So many wasted possessions. Should be up 10.

 

[punchabove33]

Well.. up by 1 at Michigan..... I will take it ...

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Brad steams off the court, maybe he'll finally get a little fired up. See if they can handle it, or cave under him lighting a fire

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Brad went storming off the court in a rage. Someone blew an assignment. Couldn't tell who.

 

[maxatlof]

Interior defense = atrocious

 

[chief]

Well, we are winning on the road at half, but......ugly!

 

[Zorak]

Michigan isn't gonna play that badly for another 20 minutes. These guys need to step it up in a major way

 

[Oracle21]

Feels like we should be up by more than 1.

 

[skyIdub]

We are playing hard and competing, and honestly that's all we can ask of this team after the last month. Get it figured out.

 

[RockfordIllini]

Busted switch to end the half. Lots of things to be frustrated about yet we lead.

Hopefully some shots will fall in the second half and hopefully we get a couple of calls. Certainly didn’t get any in the first half.
