Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[JimILL75]

Good call by our coaches, too bad the refs didn't see that themself

 

[Rad]

We sure could use a point guard today.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Umm, that's some home court clock management there.

 

[phats22]

how are the announcers so confused about this???

 

[SuperMetroid]

These clowns finally got a call right

 

[grantlab]

I don’t know how the refs miss that shot clock violation live. I also don’t know how that one foul on Young was on the floor. Refs once again watching a different game.

 

[Jon]

I love they we're committed to keeping other teams under 60, but we're allowed to score over 60...

[SouthFarmLlama]

We should be up by at least 15 the fact that we aren’t concerns me greatly

This. This is why I'm nervous.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

These clowns finally got a call right

With some help from our assistants.

 

[CubsWin]

Northwestern played terribly, didn't make shots, and we're only up 5?

 

[blife]

we should be up at least 20. Can't get a 50/50 ball. Blown lay ups and lots of unforced turnovers. Recipe for disaster

 

[phats22]

how 1.4? clearly over 2 sec difference

 

[azillini1]

Illini leading in rebounds at the half 19 to 18. We need to do a better job in that area. And, maybe we can get to the line by driving more or doing better getting it to Kofi

 

[Jon]

Everyone knows we're not allowed to score in the last 8 minutes in the first half.

 

[Miles Leonard]

This is NOT who we are. Can we find ourselves in the locker room and stomp these nerds in the 2nd half?

 

[InDaAZ]

Pregame O/U was 140.5… Oops.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

The lack of production from both Grandison and DMW — two starters, is really hurting us.

I liked a lot of what happened on the defensive end. But it has to continue...Cats will make a higher percentage in the second half...so MUST the Illini. Hope RJ gets another chance in second half.

 

[illini80]

Whew that was an ugly half. NW does that to you, but we are not sharp. Plummer without much tick. We could sure use his shooting, but honestly I didn't like either of his first two even tho he made one.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

We’re up by 5 on the road in a conference game. Should be more but mission accomplished. Same in the second half and Illini win by double figures.

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

The lack of production from both Grandison and DMW — two starters, is really hurting us.

Need a healthy dose of Hawkins and RJ/Goode in the 2nd half.

 

[Bebes_J]

What’s our combined offensive output in the last 2 halves? 46 points? Offensive slump. We’re due to break out of that.

 

[frozenrope9190]

Yeesh, ugly first half all the way around. Welcome to the road in the B10.

 

[QCtoKC]

Because this is all true of ourselves, too, unfortunately.
