Game Thread: Illinois at Ole Miss (Exhibition)

[New Creation]

looks like this might be our D unit. Ty, DGL, KB on the floor with WR BH

But you can tell. This team has ZERO ON COURT CHEMISTRY.

Expected.

However. Ole miss has actually worked on their defense. You tell, they are trapping, rotating and in passing lanes.

 

[BDMAN]

I thought the early prognosis for this team was that we could shoot we are not showing we can early...wow

 

[PopChampaign]

I’m confident that we’ll gel eventually and we’ll be really good when we do. KJ looks promising already

 

[skyIdub]

The baskets are broken!!! All theirs go in and all of ours miss!!!


Edit: this is the best exhibition overreaction i can do

 

[sharpshot16]

Guys Ole miss is one of if not the oldest team in the league, let our guys learn lol

 

[derrick6]

Team speed a problem, like a few of us said…

Better figure that out

 

[Illiniam1984]

It’s an exhibition game. Lol

 

[WeWillWhen]

Aaron Henry defense?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

He's also the type of guy that looks to reel it in with regards to shot selection.

 

[BDMAN]

You can tell Ole Miss is the more experienced cohesive team we have no flow to our offense

 

[KC_Illini]

Is there anywhere to track live stats of the game?

 

[PopChampaign]

Down almost a dub in the first half is crazy

 

[Jon]

We got a handful of legit PGs and no one can complete a pass

See post #1

It’s an exhibition game. Lol

We need overreactions please. Let's save the sensible logic for the regular season.

 

[foby]

Positivity....... They will learn a lot from this game, and correct a lot.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Fantastic opponent choice by Brad

 

[illinitiger]

26 to 10 is a Humility check I guess...

Something to be said for avoiding too much confidence, but would like to see some fight and better D.

 

[Rlouizjr01]

I just started watching and we definitely look raw and disoriented....The basket looks like a teacup for us .lol

 

[BDMAN]

It’s an exhibition game. Lol

Yeah but it is one in name only everything else mirrors an actual game does not change the lack of execution nor poor performance

 

[LouHenson]

We look like a team that has never played a “real” game together before. Fun to see these games.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

I love the adversity to start. This game is about a young team playing an older team, seeing high-level competition, and working through their issues. This is a gift.

 

[TyroneHogglegg]

I hope no one actually subscribed to SEC specifically to watch this slop…

 

[New Creation]

Tre comes back in. Gets pumped faked and then comes back and fouls.

My issue so far, is that we don’t seem to have a leader on the court. Who will emerge as the leader?

But, getting our butt kicked will get their attention. Now Brad will have something to harp on and they understand , it’s real out here

Jake Davis sighting

 

[DB11Headband]

You disagree? I said in the early going... what are you seeing?

I am seeing that it’s October 27th and we have an entire new roster
