Back to the weave?

Give me some freaking motion lol

Anyone know how i can stream Big ten network/fox sports on my computer?? It will not let me stream the illini game on Fox sports....

My advice… don’t stream these games. Save yourself the heartache.

23-16 on rebounds. Hawkins with one.

Being this outrebounded is unacceptable

 

[DeonThomas]

Hope BU calls Shauna Green at the half and asks her what he should do.

Shauna definitely has some coaching chops! Very impressed watching her team!!!!

Not play over but give us more depth at guard and a shooter. Perfect example. Sky on the court after Harris hit 2 fouls… offense gone. Unless Epps is on the floor. Podz would make defenses spread out more because he is a threat. We don’t have real threats on the perimeter with confidence right now

And so is Epps. Who would Podz play over when Luke is back?

He transferred for a reason.

Yep, this offense reminds me a lot of Bruce W's teams

That was the worst half of basketball from a basketball IQ perspective I've seen out of Illinois. This team unfortunately is just not a fundamentally good team. Really sad to see.

While watching this offense burns my retinas, we got a series of wide open 3’s in rhythm and missed them all. Nobody can win games shooting like that. Our carelessness with the ball is mind boggling

 

[Illini4life79]

Regardless of how last season ended. I miss last year's team so dang much!

 

[ORANGEANDBLUE2011]

Epps has to be in there. MM OUT!!!!

 

[RickBB]

The fact that MM openly stated that he wanted to be Big 10 Defensive Player of the year is hilarious to me.

 

[PNWIllini]

At some point BU needs to yell at the guy in the mirror

For signing these transfers? Sure. For failing to predict they’d fold faster than a card table in a Buffalo Bills parking lot? How is that on BU? For failing to predict snotty petulant attitudes and 10 ply supersoft character?

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Wow, snappy ball movement and we get a bucket....interesting

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Amazing. An offensive rebound resulted in something good. Who would have thought? Now let's get more of those.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I'm going to miss playing against Boo Buie when he's gone.

 

[Jimbo]

I remember sitting in a practic e at the !!! hall and Lou was lecturing his team on the importance of ball security. “treat every possession like it;s the final possession of the game.” This team needs to do that.

 

[DeonThomas]

Sencire running the offense. Yes!!

 

[Illini4life79]

He cannot shoot the basketball. In a game like this he cannot be on the floor.

Agreed, but right now Sky isn't shooting the rock well either. I'll trade What Sky brings for Rodger's defense and rebounding.

 

[PNWIllini]

He SHOULD be going of on Hawkins but all I saw was him jawing at Shannon.

He knows Hawkins couldn’t handle it or respond well.

 

[FloridaMan]

The fact that MM openly stated that he wanted to be Big 10 Defensive Player of the year is hilarious to me.

He also thinks we can win it all, so ya he's had some hot takes

[jumpingjack]

WEIRD. Sencire needs to play 40 minutes per game. IDGAF.
INJECT IT IN MY VEINS

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We look like a basketball team again to open this half.

 

[IlliniShelt]

Man I hate how we don't make any adjustments at halftime.../s

 

[PNWIllini]

Yep, this offense reminds me a lot of Bruce W's teams

Way more talent. On paper.
