Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[DICKnaggie]

Damonte has to get in front of him. A couple times beat down the floor now.

Not sure what's happening with him but he is not bringing much right now.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Good news is we get the right rim after half?

 

[KCBassin]

At point players just need to make shots. Have had so many wide open looks.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

This announcer has no idea. He's talking about us settling for deep 3s instead of going to the paint, but they're wide open 3s and we have been a great 3 shooting team until the second half against NW.

He’s right though. Keep pounding the ball to Kofi until they can stop him. That’s gonna open the three point shots.

My God I hope we find our collective shooting strokes because we are throwing alot of bricks up yet again tonight

Rutgers winning the boards 21 to 13.

Ball fakes, fine ... but if I see another outside shot before we take the lead, I'm gonna hurt someone ... and only my dog is here tonight.

 

[HailtotheChief]

We are doing the a favor shooting threes early in the shot clock. Open or not. We need Kofi to get the ball, open the floor and draw fouls. The refs se to be calling a good game this far. Feed the big man and for dang it put Belo back in.

 

[Fulton County Illini]

The timeout that Pickel called is what I wish Underwood would call, 3 to 4 bad possessions in a row on both ends Call the timeout and get it corrected. BU seems to let it go too long.

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

That’s our play out of a timeout when we need a bucket?

 

[Optimo]

Everybody’s shot look like line drives

 

[ILLFAN67]

Grandison can’t hit the broad side of a barn

 

[OrangeLife]

DMW getting whipped like a rented mule tonight ....is he injured ???

He might be, didn't play the last several minutes of the last game. lt looked like he was limping after the game.

 

[bjp84]

Granderson needs to stop shooting. He’s not even close.

 

[Deep]

This is stupid

 

[InDaAZ]

0 for 13

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Kofi hasn’t touched it in 8 straight trips. Awful coaching.

 

[HailtotheChief]

How many trips before Kofi touches the ball? That's on BU

 

[Jon]

Our misses aren't even close either

 

[KingWolf11]

You cant keep DMW and Grandison on the floor together its 3 on 5 on one end of the floor.

 

[FloridaMan]

Getting to be embarrassing getting out hustled game after game. We've been able too pull a lot of them out, but not looking good tonight. STOP SHOOTING THREES WHEN THEY AREN"T GOING IN FOR CHRIST SAKE JFC!!!

 

[PassingBy]

Too many 3ptrs from guards and wings. Only The King is making from close up

 

[Epsilon]

Holy cow. This is one of the worst shooting nights in recent memory. Seems like even when we’re open we’re shooting with a weird kind of energy.

 

[IceCuban]

0....for....13 from 3 and not slowing down. Rutgers super confident and we're on pace for 42.
