Hawkins in post on 5-9 PG... Punish him. Don't throw it away!

 

[PopChampaign]

whats up with our defense today?

 

[NarrowJ]

Enough about TN's defense... where is ours at???

 

[skyIdub]

Lol.....our defense is.....suspect rn.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

This is high-level college basketball. Damn.

 

[BBlock24]

Tennessee is a good passing team but man the defense looks subpar

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Tennessee's speed is causing us a ton of problems right now. We've been chasing all game thus far. Need to get a bit more physical with them and hope the refs don't blow their whistles

 

[redwingillini11]

GO GET THE REBOUND

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Rough stuff for Ty. Turnover, then what's more concerning, got out hustled for a rebound. Needs to step up and hit these two.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Rebound the damn ball

 

[Bigtex]

No one had kept their guy in from of them. Creating easy buckets for Tenn

 

[NarrowJ]

We've yet to take advantage of mismatches on Zeigler. This is going to be a must to attack.

 

[CentralILLini]

Tennessee is very good

 

[skyIdub]

Too much standing around watching. Better wake up.

 

[LouHenson]

Hawkins simply should have an offensive move on 5’9” guard besides throwing it away?

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Brutal start. That building is rocking. It's only their 4th home game.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Hawkins with a 5’9 pg on him and he throws it away

 

[FromTheLogo]

We look tired. Slow closeouts, step behind the dribble. They won't keep this shooting up tho.

 

[illiniguy24]

Not sure we can score 98 again today. Defense needs to wake up. Vols will make us pay if not

Getting to the hoop relatively easily. 10 points in the paint and 3 offensive rebounds in the first 6 minutes. BU isn't going to be happy there.

 

[JAbada]

So far, alot of 3s..

If you had told me 2 years ago that CoHawk would be the most frustrating enigma on our squad...I would have laughed you out of the room.

His decision making is so slow and suspect at times.

Too many 3 attempts for Illini. CH must 2 jump hooks for every 3 attempts. Also, no dangerous cross-court passes when you have an open right-hand drive and jump hook in the lane Coleman!
