Game Thread: Illinois at Tennessee

[cjw1901]

New near-fall-down move in low post by QG.

 

[GetAWin]

Domask was a no show

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Guerrier had a hell of a game today. Been our best player

 

[Jimbo]

We can still get this. Never say die.

 

[JSpence]

If only shannon got those calls

I am comfortable disagreeing with this today. Good FT shooting from everyone.

 

[HailtotheChief]

That 5 minutes after the hook n hold call that gave the momentum and 4 pt trip after we were up 5 really changed things.

Interesting....Vols favored by 6.5 and lead by 7 with a minute to go.

What? Im saying if shannon got those calls that would be awesome! He is our best free throw shooter.

Our big three are 8 for 36. Tennessee defense deserves a lot of credit for that. Officials probably contributed to three TJ misses. But those guys just missed a lot of good shots too.

But I’ll take a great shooting day over FAU and a bad day today vs two average days and two close losses.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Huge D there

 

[dsg]

Do it again!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Love that we are fighting till the end.

Oh. Thought you meant it would be wasted on other players. I had implied that we got the blocking calls.

 

[skyIdub]

Welp

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Damn... Not TSJ'S day today

 

[LarryGotFouled]

Vegas amazes me sometimes.

So weird..

 

[Navy_illini]

We shot too many 3s on an off shooting night. Tennessee took away the drive. Needed to take advantage of the iso mismatches

 

[WeWillWhen]

As disjointed and as poor shooting as the offense has been … I think the Illini lose this because the defense gave up over 80 points.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Would be really great if we win or tie the next 38 seconds. Just sayin.

 

[Iamgroot]

I'm starting to think we should throw a press throughout games our length seems to give teams problems

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Nailed it. Add being beaten on the glass and with hustle points.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Meh, oh well. I said house money on this game right after the FAU game. I don't feel bad about this loss. I don't feel great about it, of course.

 

[Fighting I 95]

I see what you were saying. TSJ used to get charges last year for that exact move and to see it called against is always frustrating to me.

 

[CDRUSN]

TSJ, Cohawk, and MD shooting a combined 8 of 36 from the field, under 25%. Can't win with our core starters having a cold shooting night. There were plenty of bad calls, but credit a solid TN D playing with a lot of energy.
