Game Thread: Illinois at UCLA

[LuckyIllini]

Wagler needs to wake up. 1 FG attempt?????????

 

[Illinisnake]

Pathetic end to the half, stopped rebounding and playing defense. Why not play more zone I will never understand.

 

[RDS]

Call a GD TO at 12 secs on shot and set up a play. The no plan turnover caused that

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That was definitely a foul in my opinion. Mirk in pretty bad position to challenge and got him on the arm

 

[Chase321]

What a BS call

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Keaton dribbled, dribbled, dribbled into an end of half disaster.

 

[CentralILLini]

Ucla had 10 points at the halfway point in half 1. Just insane.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Meh. It looked like a foul.

 

[Iamgroot]

Well when you give up a 20 point lead to 10 you need to call a timeout thats common sense especially when your best player is off the floor

 

[PopChampaign]

A 7 point lead after that first 12 minutes should have Brad kicking trash cans. This is the sh#t that get's you bounced in the first weekend vs better teams.

 

[Butters]

Well that locker room will be less happy than you'd think given the score...

 

[azillini1]

Now UCLa is back in it

 

[Keisersose]

33-10 game turns into 50- 43. Wow.

 

[Retro62]

That was a ridiculous call, the UCLA player just flailed.

 

[FloridaMan]

Mental letdown. Have to figure out how to eliminate these in the next 2 weeks. Both players and staff. Use timeouts to stem runs. Put Big Z in the game to stop easy buckets. Pretty simple.

 

[champaignpak]

just ridiculous incompetence on defense, entirely on the players

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Why not just throw up a shot there?

 

[MidwesternCowboy]

In a dogfight with UCLA...a team that really isn't any better than USC, who we just destroyed.

This doesn't bode well for the Michigan game.

 

[curtmoss]

We’re both shooting 55%. Them making 12 of 13 really hurt

 

[Iamgroot]

How about the worst last 5 minutes this season seriously smh

 

[dsg]

From a 23 point lead down to 7.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Turrible call...saw 23 worse fouls than that in 1st half

 

[fatt lacosse]

ok so the next time one of our players goes down we should probably give Z a few minutes for defensive purposes as the other team wakes up.

 

[BWBW]

Not ideal.

 

[Starrynova]

defense absolutely non existent, they finished that half 13/14 fgs plus 3 foul shots, shot 55% from the floor, absolute changes needed or we lose this one
