Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[blife]

why try to put the ball on the floor Rez

 

[HailtotheChief]

Morez go up strong and dint bring the ball down n dribble in traffic!

Someone needs to hit a wide open 3 good grief.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Just a brutal stretch again for Ben

Could be basically back to even

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

We have one assist. Total. What an offense.

Yet we watch!

 

[Naborman88]

I think I’ll watch law and order, it doesn’t make me want to swear at the tv like these guys do.

 

[Cubfan]

Next year we need a new coach !

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

I'm sorry, Ben, you have to make that wide open 3 in rhythm. You just do.

Kid is not good … Screwed up in recruiting …

Needs to sit … Humbrickhous …

 

[azillini1]

A Goode 3 point maker?

 

[SuperMetroid]

Lol.....our "elite" shooters are 0-100000000 from three....and that guy just made his 8th ever. Gmafb.

YMCA rec league looking dude has more threes than KB, Tre and Ben combined

 

[Chukwuwumba]

It’s about teaching the players what is a good shot, what is not a good 3.
Also bad passes to the 3 point shooters: passes always seem slightly off where the player has to move.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Turnovers and bad shooting are what bad teams do, lol … even good teams on their off days don’t COMBINE the two! WTF guys, like just focus and play to your basic ability and you’ll be 15-6 with another Quad 1 win.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Expect anything different? Same old same old team. Time to buckle guys. It’s going to get ugly here.

 

[Illk8]

Woah. What did Brad punch with all those bandaids on his hand

I just said I would love to see the trash can right now.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I have a few guys that can be put in this category.

 

[ChiTown]

Almost like we are shooting ourselves out of the game with all this brick 3s.

 

[illiram]

The team doesn't look like it was ready to play tonight. Something is off.....

 

[OB positive]

Morez had an easy dunk assist from KJ but fumbles the ball once again.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

We have one assist. Total. What an offense.

That says more about our inability to make wide open threes.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

I'd rather jump in a box full of legos and old school metal matchbox cars than continue watching this trash.

Try coaching, Brad! I haven't seen an in game adjustment since we stopped that 24-0 run against UCONN last year

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

And that was on a broken play, defensive lapse by Nebraska. So that ONE doesn’t really count. Lolz

 

[LouHenson]

we just have to face it, this team is so poorly constructed it is laughable. Ben has to play as we have no other 4/5’s. They are a total mess at this point.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Get the cristism on here, but you just can't play shooting how we are.... they're just not even guarding us, our entire team.... and just brick after brick after brick.

After all, this is basketball.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

These 3s are so rushed

Quite honestly, if you're a 3pt shooter in the B10, you don't get better cleaner looks in rhythm than the ones Ben just got. He simply missed them. If he can't hit those, he's just not going to be scoring if at all.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

It’s about teaching the players what is a good shot, what is not a good 3.
Also bad passes to the 3 point shooters: passes always seem slightly off where the player has to move.

Love KJ and he can be an amazing passer (some even approaching Good Curbelo flair!), but he seems particularly bad at this compared to what we would expect.

 

[skyIdub]

If someone could pass a note to our coaches letting them know that if our strategy is to shoot threes, we should have guys that can make a couple.
