Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[TCTORNADO]

Frazier with not a very smart foul. 2 shoots!!

 

[Illiniguy13]

Kipper with no clue the shot clock was expiring. His awareness and motor are alarmingly bad lately

They just can't get out of their own way

Valentine does not allow a defender (for either team) to contest a shot, if you challenge a shot, he calls a foul every time.

I’ll bet he’s blown the whistle on more than half the calls today.

He should not have a job. He keeps saying he is going to retire, yet here he is.

TV Ted & crew suck! These things they are calling fouls are not even close.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

another terrible call by TV ted - but we'll take it

 

[aluma]

WOW

 

[Sizzler22]

Hate when Underwood goes to zone, every time the other team hits a three....every time

 

[aluma]

We are comically bad at times. We have done so many stupid things in this half and yet at times I really like what I see. We've had multiple opportunities to end this game and just can't do it.

 

[aluma]

We have to keep getting Leron the ball every single possession.

 

[aluma]

Did Rutgers not read the scouting report on our team? They consistently leave Black wide open.

 

[TownieMatt]

Can Teddy go 30 seconds without calling a foul? I cannot wait until that guy retires.

 

[CasualObserver05]

Can we please stop with the zone. I'm assuming its to keep Leron on the floor, however, they score every possession against it, essentially forcing our offensive possessions to need to be perfect.

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

L3RON!!!!!

 

[Gunner23]

Leron is good.

 

[Sizzler22]

Black will be in the NBA. Does a lot of things really well.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Rutgers is #13 in B1G in FT%.

Put this f ing Rutgers bunch away and shut up their fans. Too much like last year.

Has one year to work on it but will have to find a way to defend without fouling. Offensively, he's pro ready.

 

[IllinoisFanAtFSU]

Great today: Second half Leron, team forcing turnovers

Good today: Aaron Jordan, Michael Finke

Okay today: Overall defense, offensive flow

Bad today: zone defense

Awful always: foul trouble

 

[Gunner23]

Call that from half court???

 

[CoalCity]
