Game Thread: Illinois at UCF

[BWD6]

I wholly believe I could have made a better gameplan than walker

 

[TownieMatt]

Sitting on the bench. We need to see what AJ can do with some playing time.

No we don't.

 

[BDoug]

No we don't.

Yeah...I was kidding

There are only five fouls on UCF because we're allergic to the paint. We're not forcing any action and are jacking up threes as our offense. If you're not aggressive going to the basket, fouls won't be called. Our guys are intimidated.

We should be losing. But this looks like the most one sides officiating we've seen all year. Is this the C Team refs or something?

 

[FatGreg]

Looking on the bright side, we should begin hearing about coaching staff decisions, transfers (in and out), and recruiting starting pretty much right away.

Honestly Lucas has been the only highlight of this game so far, dudes been dropping dimes and no one can make a thing. 32% from the field says it all especially when the other team is hot from 3.

 

[bert1991]

Why isn't kipper playing for crying out loud!!

 

[Illini B-Ball Fan]

Didn't hit him in the back.

And pre-season 12th in the B1G

Nonsense. This has very little to do with gameplan. UCF wants to win this game, we could take it or leave it.

 

[CasualObserver05]

Playing horribly

Officiating WORSE

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Kipper has been completely forgotten for some reason

I'm sure there's a reason

 

[freebird6]

how many times we gonna airball? Walker's gameplan is so damn bad.

how is missing shots in the gameplan? Missing shots. Walker is not shooting the ball

 

[helppitch]

In how many minutes total? How many minutes has he played consecutively in one game? You apparently have never seen a player get better with playing time. And I'm not saying AJ will; I'm saying this is a good time to find out.

I've been disappointed with AJ's offense. He is one of our better one on one defenders, that said his offensive game is going to have to get a lot better.
But you are right several games he hasn't played in, & most of the time he only gets a couple minutes & if he does make a mistake he goes right to the bench & isn't allowed to play through mistakes, which creates a lot of pressure.

Yeah, they just can't hit the broad side of a barn today.

 

[TownieMatt]

Where's Kipper!!!!???? We'd be winning with Kipper!!!!

 

[illiniknight]

Forget the officials. The aggressor in a game usually gets the benefit of the calls. UCF has definitely been the aggressor. They are simply playing better.

 

[BananaShampoo]

Cool to see Lovie having a good team with Whitman at least.

Any chance that AJ is playing and Kipper isn't because of Underwood wanting game time evaluation. This elluding to that Walker is/will be on the staff next year?

 

[Illini B-Ball Fan]

Need a clarification from Walker after the game regarding Kipper and Thorne.

 

[Dvick217]

Kipper has been completely forgotten for some reason

He must have missed curfew or something.

 

[freebird6]

Loving the Lovie Cam

 

[chrisRunner7]

Surprised that they weren't going inside to Maverick EVERY TIME when Taco was on the bench earlier.

Also surprised that we haven't had a little more Hack-a-Taco when he's in the game. He hasn't even attempted a free throw, has he?

 

[helppitch]

With the offense we will be running next year We would have Falls 15 feet from the basket and be driving around him and attacking for fouls. Really glad this is the last time we have to see this offensive set

With his reach, he could probably block a shot from the free throw line (LOL)
