Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[illinigiant80]

"That's another guy who's struggled from the field this year..." Words you def. don't want to hear...but better to hear them in January instead of March.

Keep playing like this and there might not be a March.

 

[illini80]

Northwestern is bad and we are staying right with them.

 

[jumpingjack]

Imo he has looked lost on d all year

Maybe it was just masked by everybody else looking lost too.

 

[pruman91]

Mr. Epps is "" the bucket meister ""...........love his demeanor on the court , solid and won't back down.....

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

RJ looking absolutely disengaged out there.

 

[Jimbo]

Thanks for making me laugh.

Yeah, that made chuckle too. You have to laugh to keep from crying.

 

[jumpingjack]

Well even the Larry Bird shots are falling for NW.
Great.

 

[KingWolf11]

Why does TSJ not want to shoot almost seems like he's making a point to not.

Edit: That was better

 

[New Creation]

Lol why do our coaches look like they lost their luggage haha. Suits don’t match or are too big.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

lol... Sure... 85 yr old Beran throwing the ball up backwards nothing but net. Go figure

 

[InDaAZ]

Where ya been TJ?
Keep doing that!

This is not my beautiful offense.

 

[New Creation]

Whats our +/- with RJ on the court? Vs sky

And thank you for finally shooting Hawkins haha

 

[spillini]

Lol at the NU cheers on those moves

 

[Idea Gardener]

I'm simple. Just win without injuries and improve between games.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Hawk took and hit the wide-open 18-footer. That's a nice step in the right direction.

 

[hhoene]

It's a purposeful 2023 transition FROM Kofi and perimiter 3-point shooters TO: wings/slashers. (Thinking it sounds a lot better in theory than it's turned out to be in actuality.)

Problem is we are still trying to be 3-point shooters and there seems to be a lack of slashers.

[Orange Wave]

Could really use Goode to hit some 3’s soon

 

[CDRUSN]

This one is a real Clangfest. Safest place to be is with your head under the net.

 

[Eternal Optimist]

Lol at the NU cheers on those moves

Massive “oh, oh, ah” followed by a MASSIVE

 

[New Creation]

Positive, we are missing wide open shots and it’s a tie game.

We just need to slowly build our confidence back. That is what is lacking right now. Lack of confidence in each other and some, themselves.

Get that back and watch out (if we play like a team)

 

[skyIdub]

I've been a vocal CoHawk fan here...but on that last trip down there was one big white forward in front of him and NO ONE in the lane.
If you can't make a move and go by that guy......

 

[IlliniMike_Aurora]

Who are the captain (s) of this team ? Seriously, I don't know, and don't know if its still a thing, asking for myself (maybe its handed out weekly)

RJ looking absolutely disengaged out there.

He is hurt. It’s pretty obvious
