Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[Battle89]

These passes…

 

[HailtotheChief]

I swear at key moments ut seem KJ gets so sped up and he didn't used to.

 

[azillini1]

KJ now shooting 15.2% in last 5 1/2 games from 3 point range. Who would have imagined that?

 

[OrangeLife]

???? WTF KJ ?????

 

[Bigtex]

Sit kj.

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

Or to Morez. Capitalize on what we have in the paint, and forget the jacks from 4 point land.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Wish I had a pic of him, Trent, and DMFW together ... All 3 of those guys had the freaking fire in their belly !!!!!

 

[Miles Leonard]

KJ has to value the basketball a whole lot better.

 

[hiberto]

the thing is though is that most of KJ's mistakes are mental not related to some lingering injury

 

[TheodoreRex]

SIT KJ NOW. Every time we do something good he freakin takes a shot gun to our team's collective foot. I'm tired of it. It's inexcusable to play him at this point

 

[RDS]

KJ is a disaster. And no longer a lottery pick

 

[eas23]

I mean, that was about as close as you can come to just handing the other team 2 points.

Should have NEVER made Tyler an assistant ... He should have earned his stripes somewhere else ... You do NOT get your first coaching job at Illinois ... Period ... Should NOT be coordinating our offense ...

Hamer ... He was a WNBA video coordinator ... Should NEVER have been made an assistant coach ... Should NOT be coordinating our defense ...

Brad has FAILED to realize he messed up on this and own it and correct the issue ...

Hire Latulip…for either position

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Bench him for the game. We played the best on Sunday with him on pinetime

 

[illiram]

Love KJ but something is wrong.....he's TO machine now.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

KJ biggest problem is in his own head right now!

 

[curtmoss]

Why!! We get some momentum and KJ gives it away. We don’t have the discipline and toughness to take advantage of such opportunities

 

[jumpingjack]

How many fouls has WR drawn on 3s this year??

The ol' Matt Mayer special.
And Ben with a huge shot

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Hallelujah Ben.

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

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

I was shocked to learn he spent time with the Lakers, but yes I'm tired of being in the hole from an x's and o's standpoint

 

[BashCtIllini]

are we afraid of layups?

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

2-15 from 3 is maddening.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Why are we jacking 3’s like it’s the end of the game!

 

[PROCK]

if by now KJ hasn't realized his high school level passes wont work at this level then I"m not sure when he'll get it.

 

[NashvILLe05]

First sentence true. Second sentence should be true…but the NBA
