Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama A&M

Like that we play hard but hard to tell what we are trying to do on offense. Did anyone else notice that 2 or 3 times on under the basket out of bounds our cutter has been open under the basket when guy guarding the out of bounds returned to the ball? Neither of our players even looked for the pass and coaches didn't recognize either. That is coaching...imo.

Harris is going to get seriously concussed if he keeps running into screen like that. Everyone needs to be yelling about those to let him know.
Big deal.
I’ve been trying to figure that out for a while now. I don’t see any real sets or plays for the most part. It’s kind of chaos throwing the ball around the three point line.
Mayer has been the difference maker.
At least Mayer can score. And we're very lucky he's healthier now. If this were a month ago we'd be dead in the water. We've still got serious issues that need to be fixed though.
Where was this energy and intensity
Need to bring it all 40. The players need to do it not the coach. Have to show up every night

We are a play to level of what we think the name on the opposing jersey should be like.
One common thing with our Illini when it comes to FT attempts. There isn’t a lot of arc on most of their shots.
Another thing I noticed this year, positive, we are blocking a lot of shots this year.

Offense is way too inconsistent for the apparent talent we have on this team. I remember when the rumor was that we beat Kansas in the scrimmage early this year. We haven't jelled yet as a team... don't think we could come close to beating Kansas right now.
Shots are falling but it’s still all freelancing right now. That’s not gonna work against most of our schedule.
According to B1G in studio analysts Michael Meyer is back!
Illini winning the TO battle 18-17....wait a sec......disregard.
Another happy thought...I don't think we've fouled a 3pt shooter today (*I did miss a couple minutes watching UNC/OSU).
The over/under for announcers to say "Michael Myers" should be set at 2.5 per game.
Don't know what we would have done without Michael Mayer today.
At least we pulled this one out and didn’t let it get decided in then last minute.
He's been a slasher today.
Hah, Michael Mayer's 3 pointer was a free throw from the corner. no daylight under his feet on uncontested shot.
