Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[PassingBy]

why is our offense so painful to watch?

We bad?

 

[LoveLovie]

Way too many players under performing

 

[Retro62]

Hummel starting to coach Hawkins…good advice

 

[HailtotheChief]

Dude ! Coleman pass up open looks n do that crap,

 

[madillini4]

Watching this offense

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I have nothing to say at this point. Just stupid stupid stupid basketball.

 

[Jimbo]

Hawkins got bailed out of another TO

 

[jumpingjack]

The +- for Clark tonight has to be whatever is below negative.

 

[HailtotheChief]

They are intense on D . Put Epps and Skyy in to handle the ball n ! Plz! Epps is a baller

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Why is Hawkins even on the floor at this point?

 

[DeonThomas]

1. Shannon: Pre-season all Big10 (1st Team)
2. RJ: Pre-season all Big10 (Honorable Mention)
3. CoHawk: Pre-season all Big10 (Honorable Mention)
4. Sky: Pre-season all Big10 Freshman Team
5. Mayer: Pre-season all Big10 Transfer Team

Believe we're underperforming just a bit.....cuz I think we're 0-5.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Nice Epps. Finish this friggin' half strong.

 

[illiram11]

Find a way to win boys. Or this is going to be a loooooooong season. Why are we taking so many 3's, and not getting to the rim?

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

There was no Illini within 25 feet of the basket at one point during that offensive set.

 

[skyIdub]

This is going to be Epps and Sencire's team very soon.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

At least Epps is playing. Hell of a job kid. As someone who played on a ton of bad teams in my life, I cannot express how difficult it is to play this hard when everyone else on the team is letting everyone down. Good for him.

 

[Illini8420]

Might as well name Epps team captain since he actually came to play

 

[jumpingjack]

Well, net positive they look like they're paying harder.
Now we need the smarter to kick in.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

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

Northwestern: a bunch of more academic Larry Birds

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Finally, CoHawk!!!

 

[IMPE ALL STAR]

This is going to be Epps and Sencire's team very soon.

It might already be. If not, it needs to be asap.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Hawkins with the always predictable head fake beyond the arc. Tired of seeing it (even with that made 3-ball).

 

[skyIdub]

Lmao...CoHawk has the absolute worst head fake in history.

 

[jumpingjack]

Due credit to CoHawk for just shooting the damn thing

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Congrats on making that shot, CoHawk, but man was that a terrible decision. I just don't get this team.
