Game Thread: Illinois at Oregon

[TyKFactus]

I just was able to tune in. What is this box score? Jake Davis?

 

[madillini4]

Boswell needs to finish

 

[logjam]

Oregon is #9 in the country and has like 4,000 fans at the game.

I guess their fanbase is still sulking from O$U showing them what life is really like in the B1G.

Aren't they still on break...?

 

[FloridaMan]

We would be ranked 1 if we could just finish layups, jeeeeeez

 

[blueguy]

Love everything about Boswell except his ability to make layups

Again

 

[FoundersClub]

Boswell can get to the rim at will but struggles to finish around the hoop.

 

[DeeIL89]

Damn, Boswell struggling the layups tonight.

 

[skyIdub]

Enough of this sh!t. This lineup ain’t it.

 

[tcb13]

#4 killing us all of the sudden

 

[Iamgroot]

Man boswell is so soft around the basket I've never seen a player i can remember get so many easy layup miss he needs to step up

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Starters still can't score. Boswell .....

 

[NarrowJ]

We were letting that shoot, 25% three point shooter

 

[New Creation]

Bam.. you have to make those wide open layups..

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Boswell has been the worst layup-maker on the team... like, by far

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Can we put all the scorers back in?

 

[NashvILLe05]

That’s twice I’ve seen Tre half-a$$ it at a ball and let it go out of bounds.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Boswell is so good at getting to the hoop and so bad at finishing.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

The announcer’s “what he’s good at is this” as Boswell missed a layup was painfully true

(Still love KB)

 

[Mistakenj]

Boswell may be the worst finisher at the rim I’ve ever seen.

 

[DeeIL89]

Did Ben forget the guy he was defending again? Lol.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Bos dude, you have to finish your layups. That last one was WIDE open. 4 point swing right there.

 

[Battle89]

Anyone else feel like we should somehow be up 15-20 against #9 Oregon at their place? We've been so close to breaking it open a few times- then we either force a quick 3 or get a moving screen OR Oregon makes some absurd contested shot or the refs make a stupid call...

Game plan wise, this game is 100% in our favor pace wise and with the shots Oregon is taking (forcing them into a TON of tough mid range shots)

Missed layups.

I’m a bit of a broken record on this but so are they esp Kylan.

When there is a lid on the basket, you can still win by defending and rebounding. Where have I heard that before? I hear you coach!!!

I once saw a high school game between the No. 1 ranked team in Illinois and a short but talented team from Southern Illinois. The short team, all shooters and handlers, led at the half by 5. In the second half, that short team made 75% from the field and lost by 5. They did not get a rebound which allowed the taller team to score on every possession. Never to be forgotten.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Is Boswell the new Curbello? Enough with the missed gimmes and stupid TOs!

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Is roswell the new curbello. ENOUHG with the missed gimmes and stupid TOs!

No
