Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[PasadenaIllini]

This team needs the NIT.

We drop this game given what's left on our schedule....

KJ has NOT been good as of late. In fact he’s been downright awful.

 

[DeeIL89]

Our guys are acting like they can't get in the paint. This Rutgers. Come on!

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Dra is 6'1 trying to check 6'10 Bailey.

 

[LJ22]

There's still plenty of time left

We can still win. It just blows the mind how flat we continue to come out. How is it even possible to go down by double digits in every game!?

 

[Oracle21]

0 offensive rebounds on 9 misses. Rutgers is dominating this game. Illinois offense really dies when they get beat on the glass

 

[Ramrod2010]

More concerning? That we are on pace for less than 30 or that Rutgers is on pace for more than 80?

 

[Naborman88]

Go to the basket! Threes aren’t falling!

 

[NashvILLe05]

They’re way more athletic than us

 

[New Creation]

 

[hoopsfan47]

We all want to believe that....but if the Illini can't stop Bailey, they will not have a runl

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

How can we shoot sooooo bad! Just don’t get it!

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

How can we be this BAD at shooting?

 

[sharpshot16]

Ace just gonna be the next to drop 29 on us? smh

This team is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

He's 6'10 uber athlete top 3 pick and we start with DGL on him... I would have expected 50. Thanks Hamer.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Pathetic.

 

[sacraig]

I can't even be mad about taking wide open shots. But why in the world have we totally lost our ability to hit wide open shots?

 

[eas23]

7 different players have missed 3's in the first 9 minutes.

 

[DeeIL89]

All that backing down from Ben and he passed it out. Smh.

 

[Miles Leonard]

6 points with 10 minutes left in the first half.

Is Weber coaching this game?

 

[biglug58]

Not only missing, but not even close to going in

 

[jumpingjack]

Why. Ben. You have the guy under the basket.

 

[Class_of_2020]

They won’t be there buddy

 

[tell it like it is]

Kj opens the game with 3 TOs. This is a serious problem. He does this every game

It's ok though, he's a lottery pick.

 

[blife]

6 points at the 10 minute mark How can we be that bad offensively
