Game Thread: Illinois at Minnesota

I'm guessing the scouting report must have said not to guard Mason behind the 3 point line

Coach needs to trust his bench. There should have been a couple subs around 7 min. Let's go boys!

 

[Adnarel]

So much for Mav's breakout game.

Those deep threes were like:

 

[Newman]

I had a feeling that not taking advantage of being in the bonus at the 11 minute mark in the first half would come back to haunt us.

When the pressure is on the offense really breaks down. We seem to resort to her ball anytime their is a drought. Not much trust out there.

Nunn has has some head scratchers tonight while trying to drive

Scouting report probably had slowing Mason down as a top priority.

Come on, man. 4 minutes, 4 points... Not exactly Arizona in the Elite 8 comeback we're looking for here

I'm sick to my stomach that we are about to lose to this Minnesota team.

We are pretty good at creating B1G Offensive Player of the Week candidates on the other team.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

We're gonna win

I know there are 4 minutes left but you can just feel the momentum right now. And our offense looks horrible, those combine equal a loss

Not poised at all tonight.

Not poised at all tonight.

Poise is a byproduct of the coach

Don't bet the mortgage on it.:thumb:

Hills looking for his offense too much. It has to flow naturally.

 

[zpfled]

Imagine circus music on that offensive possession

 

[zoggle101]

Playing great D, but we aren't putting points in the board.

 

[zoggle101]

Where's the foul?

 

[ILL12]

Long time lurker first time poster. This game reminds me of the last couple of games of the Weber era. I have the same feeling watching this as I did the last week of the 11-12 season. You just get the feeling that it's all coming to an end. You can see it in John's face. You can see it in the players faces. i refuse to spend another cent on tickets or merchandise until he is fired. Hate that my first post is like this, but it's time.

Really bad foul be Hill

 

[PerennIaLL]

Malcolm with some major mistakes down the stretch here. Two bad turnovers and a bail out foul with 5 left on the shot clock.
