Stop placing blame on assistant. This is underwood’s team.

 

[altgeld88]

And Michigan State

Maryland, my friends. Bottom of the fan barrel. Dregs.

 

[New Creation]

Positive: Everyone who has played has scored for us.

If nothing else on that pstate under the basket inbounds play just have the guy on the ball gaurd the basket.

Put all 5 defenders in the paint , make them score from outside the lane, make me feel better than watching a guy walk down the lane un guarded

 

[pruman91]

At least 4 if not more unguarded layups by psu....I think 3 were in bounds plays........

 

[HailtotheChief]

They have it wrong it’s 48-41

I'm used to a messed up scoreboard thank to PEACOCK! LOL. I think Peacock has a few too many Gummies pre game. Maybe he us filling in tonight!

We gotta keep hitting our shots, keep scoring.

Must have intensity to start 2nd half.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Weber is all shiney. Lol

Lol does he just not like his family. Why is he on BTN so much?

Dude is 67 years old and was a power conference head coach for two decades. He has to have at least made like 40-50 mil in his career.

 

[FloridaMan]

Back to Video Coordinator.

Hopefully at Vandy.

 

[Wade]

Right, bar the inbounds breakdowns we're playing okay defensively. PSU is just shooting well.

Why don't we just zone on those inbounds plays and then match up?

 

[SuperMetroid]

Nice to see Luke hit both his threes. Still have no idea why he’s guarding the opposing PG so much

 

[azillini1]

CH only 1 for 6 from the field and 2 TO's. We need for him to focus on the game and not the calls by the refs

 

[BRucks]

Lots of empty seats. Who was the poster who had his tickets rescinded?

 

[DeonThomas]

We're on a pace for 188 pts, combined. Guess I was a little OFF in taking the under for this one.

Our defense is simply horrendous.

And I have to salute my HS basketball coach, who said he would never play man-to-man defense on in-bounds plays under the basket. Just too many ways to get confused and lose your man with all of the screening. We always played a 3-2 zone and never-ever allowed a layup. And that's how I've consistently coached it in all the years since. Just no excuse for a Top NCAA team to allow three dunks/layups like that.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Why, in God's name, would Chester not be in charge of D? One of the most tenacious defenders we have ever had.

I have no idea but they better figure it out fast and change it.

 

[Goillinikobd]

They are playing in that cracker box so the 4k that showed up looks like a BIG crowd.

 

[Redbull]

This grad assistant who is apparently in charge of defensive strategy CANNOT be in charge any more. What a terrible down spiral our defense has taken since December

Sounds like what was being said about Illini football last fall

 

[skyIdub]

*hops in DeLorean, heads back to 5pm to put life savings on the over

 

[Orangetool]

Illini need to turn up the defense.

 

[Coop70]

Here's a blast from the past.

Offense wins games.

Defense wins championships.

I’m sure his kids have their own lives now. He has all morning and afternoon with his wife. He loves basketball. He’s not hurting anyone anymore.
