Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[Uihoop2023!]

Kj is the only one I have any faith in from 3...smh

 

[MaineIllini]

Leave DGL in, please

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

New plan. DGL dribble drive every possession.

 

[NASchamp]

That’s it. Let’s get goin’ guys. We can’t hit a 3 right now so drive the ball inside.

 

[Retro62]

We really don’t have any offensive paint presence at all.

Well, we do, it’s just sitting on the bench.

 

[McGuppin]

Shooting 7% from behind the line....less than elite.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Its all Fletch’s fault … /s

 

[biglug58]

 

[Ryllini]

I mean, they're mostly wide open 3's, we just can't make them. We're not making our shots in the paint for that matter, either.

Ehh

 

[DB11Headband]

Shooting this bad is just as much mental as it is physical. Bricks breed more bricks

 

[chief]

Foul on Morez

 

[WeWillWhen]

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

How do you come to that conclusion? He's been absolutely awful too.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Really? Thinking more travel , travel schedule, meal schedule etc . Guess you don’t travel much.

I travel plenty. Have even traveled sick. It is possible. "Sick but still able to function" is a thing.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Our 3 point shooting

 

[Fr8trn16]

This is lazy basketball! I need a better effort from the guys right now!

 

[Mistakenj]

Everyone has us figured out. KJ too. Think those early blowout Big Ten wins were anomalies

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Why in the world are we shooting so many behind the arc?!

Prior to the season Bret said that was the gameplan for the offense. Unfortunately for us, we hit them at under 29% in B10 play, so...

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Really don't like Raiola.

 

[Jon]

Damn, pat mahomes really let himself go

 

[PasadenaIllini]

B1G games like this one are why you can't half-@SS it at home against teams like Maryland.

 

[FloridaMan]

Really need more out of KJ with Tomi out. He's gotta value the ball and get in the lane more. Really need him until we are whole again.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Wait Raiola was in the Chiefs locker room for the afc championship? God what a loser

 

[NASchamp]

This is such a lazy response. He’s straight up. Should he just let a big score the next 9 minutes when he’s one on one?

It’s not lazy at all. It’s actually way easier and “lazy” to just blame the refs on every call. I’m being honest. First call was suspect. Morez has to be smarter on the second. He was way too far into the Nebraska player. Made it too easy to call the foul. He’s much more valuable staying in the game (rebounds, rim protection, etc.) vs just fouling out in 5 min.

 

[and 69 others]

Before tonight’s game, we were 7th in the nation on 3-point attempts and 277th in 3-point percentage. This is exactly what we were doing 2 years ago when we crapped the bed.
