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

I was thinking the same thing.

I think he's been doing some day drinking. That's not a bad idea now.

 

[CoalCity]

Whats worse, our defense or the announcers?

Both pretty awful.

Most ill prepared announcing team I've heard this year.

 

[Cheez]

Whats worse, our defense or the announcers?

Our defense is playing better in the last 5-6 minutes than it did to start the game, but the offense has reverted back to its typical road-game badness

 

[The Rock Says]

Can we poach Pat Chambers? His defensive scout has been so simple/perfect.

The over / under on the first "need a drink reference" in illinois basketball just keeps going down, down, down

Why is our shooting so horrible on the road? I understand a different arena will make some difference but it is as if we haven't seen a basket before. Do we not arrive early and do a workout and shoot around or two before we play?

Announcer sounds surprised as he says "Tate does take the shot"

 

[OrangeKrus28]

Why is Tate playing so much? What is going on here? Even Hill got frustrated that he didn't get the ball.

 

[Whitman2020]

Did Tate just hold the ball for the entire possession and Chuck up that garbage on his own? My god...

 

[IlliniCards24]

We just went an entire 30 second possession where ONLY Tate touched the ball...

He would have really been surprised to say "and it goes in!"

You can see the negativity coming out of the players, hill yelling for the ball, Tate getting mad and raising his hands when Hill calls to take the ball up court, I'm telling you that these players have zero interest in playing together.

 

[CoalCity]

Look at chambers coaching em up!

 

[OrangeKrus28]

I understand that Mav is getting double teamed but how is it that Thorne gets more shots up than Finke, our hottest shooter? It is like Groce is trying to desperately get Thorne touches to get his confidence up or something. I don't get it.

It appeared we were attempting some sort
of pick and roll 2-man thing between him and Thorne. John Groce actually gets a paycheck for devising this.

 

[Cheez]

I'm literally disgusted by this.

 

[Trakis]

*wakes up from nap. turns game on*

Oh. Okay.

 

[CoalCity]

Dribble dribble dribble, other guys stand around. What a fantastic offensive scheme.

 

[Cheez]

We're down 20.

In the first half.

To Penn ****ing State.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I'm literally disgusted by this.

Me, too. Time to start lookin' for a replacement, which I'm positive JW is doing.

 

[Deleted member 3875]

Ok #WeWillWin, time to do something about this mess.

 

[oldman]

Who is in charge of getting these guys to bed the night before a road game?
