Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[illiniguy24]

We’re getting crushed on screens. We aren’t playing them well and they are moving on half of them.

 

[azillini1]

We are killing them in every area but FG%. NW shooting 57%!!!!!

 

[LvilleILL]

These illegal screens are hilarious man

 

[RML]

Coleman getting frustrated. That's not good.

 

[HailtotheChief]

NW has other guys stepping up hitting big shots at home. Gotta get a hand in their faces. Can't blame refs for that.

 

[Dragons89]

Open shots because Nicholson is backing the defender up off the screen. So obvious. Why is Brad not going nuts!!!!

 

[grantlab]

Need a dose of Justin Harmon here. I thought he did a really job on ball screens in the first half. We’re getting crushed on them right now, moving or not.

 

[pruman91]

They changed it back. Not sure why. Maybe Damonte hurt too many people.

ok , thanks.....hadn't heard that..............

 

[Chad Fleck]

Hawkins shouldn't have tried to go up on that side of the rim. He didn't have much room to go up there. Seems to me that refs don't give close fouls in when you try to force it up with little room like that.

I know our defense isn't great, especially our communication, but my goodness is Northwestern shooting out of their minds.

 

[Jimbo]

Northwestern is shooting the ball tonight, my goodness.

 

[Saturdaze]

You guys are complaining about the refs too much. One way or another theIllini coaches need to find something else that works.

 

[BBlock24]

The Cats did beat Purdue in their barn, so they’re tough at home. Just need to be tougher.

I hadn’t either until Hummel said it…. I just wanted to make the Damonte joke.

Only 1 player on NW shooting below 50% and he is 2 for 5. Someone has to lock down on D

Easy to kill them on the glass, especially the offensive side, when they're hitting that well.

 

[FloridaMan]

Welp. If they're gonna hit step back threes......

 

[Ramrod2010]

Step back three... I see how it's going.

 

[Illiniam1984]

NW is shooting out of their minds tonight. Nothing we can do about it.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Just what I was talking about from TSJ! When they double pass it!

 

[SuperMetroid]

Brad is pissssed at the D lol

 

[Miles Leonard]

If they're hitting step back threes and long floaters, might as well call it a wrap.

 

[KingWolf11]

The whole bench when they saw brad call a TO lmao

 

[Chillinini]

my confidence at halftime is not as high as it once was.
Have to not only go against a spirited NW team, but have to deal with the refs.
