Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[Hopingfor500]

Down 7 with 6 min left. I predicted we'd be down 15 at this point without Ayo playing. I think we've played pretty darned well! Still in it......

Need one huge push from somebody.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Mulcahy should never be that wide open.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Giorgi just got robbed.

 

[RIVERCITYCHIEF]

TF nerds to share the ball . Ugh

 

[JudsonFTS]

Flop city

 

[kiwanegarris22]

Need to be within six at the 2:30 mark, preferably with the ball.

Damn flop-a-potamus

 

[skyIdub]

Can't shoot. Can't win.

 

[aaron2108]

TJ cannot shoot tonight

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Dont beat anyone anywhere shooting 29%.

 

[kiwanegarris22]

Might have been the nail right there....

 

[LouHenson]

We simply are a very bad shooting team. Tough to win with a team that shoots under 30%? Miller can’t get here quick enough as Ayo could not save this mess

 

[Illini_Jack]

Over

 

[3DegreeIllini]

Can't shoot. Can't win.

yep. Winning with just tough defense is a myth. Obviously that’s caught up with us.

 

[RIVERCITYCHIEF]

Tev 1 for 6. TF 2 fir 12= 3 for 18...pass the ball unless you wide open

And TF hit his 1st shot.

Our defense is ridiculously bad. But our offense is even worse.

 

[Halloweenie]

Not enough offense to win this game. Will need Ayo versus PSU or we will be in the 10% win probability. Played hard but without Ayo, they have better players

I think Ayo provides a swagger. It's that "it" factor that he has. It's the part of him being out that can't be captured by statistics.

 

[Tacomallini]

What is up with these fans? They seem to boo everything going on in the game. Their guy clearly fouls....."boooo!"

[Beendownsince99]

Sad. Still alot of bball left but I'm worried about this losing streak....ugh...

 

[Ol Dirty Gamer]

It’s close at halftime, but i have a bad feeling how the second half is gonna go. I’ve seen this trend before.
I really hope they can win it without Ayo tho, I really do!

RIP

Shooting has been an issue all during BU tenure. Hope next year that is no longer an issue

 

[Deleted member 656517]

Miller and Curbelo can’t get here soon enough. Need a deadly shooter and a true pg to create good shots in the worst type of way

 

[Kingsnake22]

Ball game. Offense is garbage, 4 game losing streak and going to penn state lol

 

[Bverdec]

So on defense, all we do is focus on the ball. And on offense? We don't really pay attention to the ball. I'm having a hard time here.
