Game Thread: Illinois at Minnesota

[GortTheRobot]

Imagine if we actually had one more decent big body to throw at them. Let's face it, BU was handed a very difficult roster, and this game is exposing it.

Smith needs to adapt to higher level competition. Black needs to understand when he doesn't have the upper hand. Damonte is going to be very good. Same as Frazier. Really need a banger in the next class. Underwood needs time to right this ship.

We have gotten several good looks just can't get anything to fall. Minnesota isn't shooting that well either.

 

[bombayIllini]

IL shooting 5%.

 

[Stevegarbs]

8 of the worst minutes ever played and people here whining about officials

Welcome to every Illinois Loyalty game thread.

We are playing timid. Won't go to the rim because we're afraid of being blocked. Settling for threes instead.

No one can hit a shot. Need someone to step up and show some aggression to get us focused.

 

[FeelTheLovie]

Minnesota secret. Put the opponents rim outside until just right before tip off.

Pitinos cheating again

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

We aren't playing well by any stretch, but we aren't playing THAT bad.

god damn is there a lid on the rim right now

Lazy turnovers, out hustled, out rebounded, and yes - 1 for 19 shooting. If we were 7 for 19 it would still be bad. 1 for 19, it is THAT bad.

Didn't think it would be possible for the Women's team to have the better scoring 1st half tonight.

 

[GortTheRobot]

Chip away boys...chip away.

 

[hoopsfan47]

I have never seen 1-19 shooting before.

It is all about home court and crowd. Illini just not comfortable finding the range and confidence is built on hitting shots. Minny not shooting well from out but getting every off. rebound for short putbacks. Crown giving them lots of energy too.

This game is over.

wow - how is that called

 

[geneseo]

The lid is that freakishly large front court.

Not watching. Yahoo sports says Lynch and Murphy are 6'10" and 6'6". That doesn't sound like freakishly large. Is it correct?

 

[KrushCow31]

Not ideal.

On target to score 12 points this half.

 

[Deleted member 9739]

We are on pace to score about 24 tonight.

 

[Oskeefan]

when is Minn going to be whistled for a foul? half of their "blocks" were hacks.

 

[DrCS01]

what are we, like 0-1000000 from 3?

 

[GortTheRobot]

We look like a team of walk-ons.

 

[Sizzler22]

Not sure what is going on but there had better not be any positives in the post game presser.

 

[hooraybeer]

y u do this to me

 

[TheFameProtector]

THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!!!

 

[geneseo]

6-25 on points
7-25 on rebounds

 

[blackdog]

Well I just paid all my bills and it was more enjoyable than this game...

 

[hoopsfan47]

IIRC....that is the first made three of the game. Both teams shooting poorly....but one is horrendous.
