Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

What the hell is happening.

 

[New Creation]

And TOMI is 100% liability on the court right now.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I’ll never understand Humbrickhouse with the ultimate green light.

What's the alternative? They are leaving him open. And our other bigs aren't doing anything.

 

[steveinspringfield]

We are so slow tonight.

 

[TyroneHogglegg]

Don’t think so. They look ready to ram it down our poor shooting throats.

 

[altgeld88]

We are soft this half. They’re physical and we’re shrinking

 

[CDRUSN]

I would like to see us run some plays for Mirk, Wagler, Bos, and Andre, and see if we can break out of this scoring drought. This second half offense is ponderous man, ponderous. Finally a good move to the hoop by Bos. Let's start a run.

Our bigs are remarkably unathletic compared to Alabama's. This was my concern going into this season. We don't have a ton of playmakers that can beat anyone off the dribble.

Ours are injured. It's not really a good comparison right now.

 

[Champaign88]

Humbrickhouse is back.

I mean aside from the JKST game he was 4/15 from three this year (now 5/21).

 

[Illini_Jack]

Need to lock it up on defense

 

[FloridaMan]

Boswell got mugged there no call. Jeezus

 

[RML]

Just grab the darn ball

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

They're gonna run high screens and make Tomi defend. Id do it every time and make Tomi move

 

[TheodoreRex]

REBOUND THE DANG BALL! Fletch ain't showing up tonight so far- we look like the weaker team and I hate it.

 

[bjp84]

Our best shooter isnt getting any shots.

 

[steveinspringfield]

We are throwing up some pretty sloppy shots tonight.

 

[DeeIL89]

We are f'ing up rebounding right now.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

I don't agree. There was contact, but no more than has been allowed consistently this game.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Our euro frontcourt guys are just too slow on ball screen D.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Ben brick house with 30+ minutes tonight. I guess Brad didn’t learn from last year

 

[FoundersClub]

Minus Boz we are getting out toughed.

 

[azillini1]

Difference in this game is pretty much Ben being 1-7 from three

And Isivic Twins not at all a factor

 

[BrownTown]

Mugging Tomi

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

We cannot buy a basket

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Boswell can't buy one today
