Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[New Creation]

Another dumb aaaa turnover by BAM. This team really can’t get out of its own way. I think we have more TOs than made field goals.

Something is wrong with the chemistry of this team. Bam took it 1 on 3. That is the 4 time an Illini player has taken it 1 on 3 now.

Did we just remember we have a 7 footer?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Our players give a sh*t level just isn't what it ought to be.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Reality for KJ is he has gone from one of the best shooters in the nation to below avg. for a B1G rotation player. Add in 5+ turnovers a game and he becomes and avg. player...not an AA. That has got to flip back and soon. Is his injury still affecting his play?

 

[blife]

Just get this under 10 by half

 

[Steelyunk]

Make your FTs, KJ!!!!

 

[Orangeandblue72]

Boswell is a joke

 

[KingWolf11]

We are just a middle of the road team there isn't much else to say anymore

 

[BBlock24]

Boswell has low basketball IQ.

 

[Elite 8 - 2024]

I am beginning to dislike this team. They do not hustle.

 

[SweetLou2020]

Kinda looks like we need more long ++ athletes, not a great game for TW to miss.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

How are we still ranked?

I wouldn't worry too much about that, it'll take care of itself

 

[eas23]

Rutgers is begging us to get back in the game.

 

[CleverHandle1]

It'd be under 10 points if FTs are made.

Post up more Tomas.

 

[hiberto]

for as strong as BU says boswell is, he is a terrible finisher

 

[Flyin' Illini]

We are a terrible three point shooting team altogether, but if there was a percentage tracked for "wide open threes" I bet we would be dead last in the country.

 

[Peteronthespot]

This team caught a bad case of Curbelo-itis. Maybe the kofi jersey raise will be the cure.

 

[sharpshot16]

Go inside to tomi/morez, worked every time so far. Next trip down has been a missed 3 then another missed 3

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

It is a special kind of dysfunctional to simultaneously NOT look loose and yet to look complacent and low effort.

 

[thehass]

We have played some bad halves this year but this game may be the worst.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Same story. Lack of effort. Getting out hustled. Unacceptable.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Can’t put any kind of run together

 

[Goillinikobd]

Sommerville is from Peoria?

WTF?

 

[ThisYearForSure]

We have 2 coaches who have absolutely no business being in the position they are in and they are controlling our offense and defense ...

This keeps being said that theyre bad, but is there no point at which Brad can take over control?

 

[NashvILLe05]

Let’s get it down to 6 at half and crush them in 2nd half
