May as well turn this off. Same sh-- different day

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Down 14 in 12 minutes. pathetic

 

[CoalCity]

Finke is the only one hustling

 

[txillini11]

Away from home our players don't even deserve to be on the same court as each of the teams we have played.

 

[SuperintendentChalmers]

Twelve minutes in, Penn State shooting 75 percent.

NIT

You wish.

 

[BexleyIllini]

PSU is hot, but they are getting good, good looks. Why can't we play defense?

 

[Cheez]

Down 14 in 12 minutes. pathetic

down 14... to PENN STATE!

This should not happen. Illinois is supposed to be a better program than this.

Finke is the only one hustling

He just played matador D on that layup.

 

[CoalCity]

They've called Maverick Malcolm three times already.

 

[EJ33]

Maybe we'd get off to a better start if we let the starters play for more then 3 minutes together before substituting. What difference does it make if your starters get tired if you lose the game in the first 10 minutes?

 

[Captain Bubbles]

How in the world the announcer mispronounce the name "Nigel" is beyond me.

 

[oldman]

I think Mav was complaining that he walked because the defender picked him up and moved him

 

[Bailey]

Twelve minutes in, Penn State shooting 75 percent.

Not sustainable, which is why I'm not gonna turn this one off yet. Have to punch back though.

 

[Sizzler22]

Go Groce go! Go Groce go!

We are big ten bottom feeders in basketball and football. This is Illinois sports now a days and for the last decade. It's a graveyard.

 

[Illini_1979]

not with the defense we've played in the first 8 mins

True that.

 

[CoalCity]

When out guys make a cut they look like they're in a walk through. You'll never get open if you don't sprint and cut hard. This is just ridiculous. Somebody, Fletch, anybody get in the middle.of their a**es and rip em a new one. This is shameful.

 

[Deleted member 11241]

Didn't the benches used to be at the bottom of the screen when we played there in the past

 

[Sizzler22]

I told myself that Illinois would be good 5 years ago and realistically we are in a worse spot than we were 5 years ago. They have two senior point guards and neither of them are very good....

 

[Jon]

Whats worse, our defense or the announcers?

 

[FeelYourPaign]

announcer describing Malcolm as a starter since day 1.
Its clear that he wasn't reading this board in 2014

 

[The Rock Says]

Whats worse, our defense or the announcers?

Defense and it's not close

 

[oldman]

I think that low handed hook by Thorne has been scouted by everyone

 

[Poe's Law]

Just hoping to avoid a knockout punch here in the last 6:40. Get it back to single digits.
