Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

[blife]

how many walks are the refs going to miss tonight

 

[Illinisnake]

Missed free throws, bad passes. Ball game.

 

[derrick6]

While Bam and Wagler have not destroyed us, they have a hand in our demise if we lose.

Can’t wait to hear from Captain Boswell

End of game...(trying reverse psycho on hoop gods...be quiet and don't tell them)

 

[TrahNeb]

Feel like I’m watching last years team.

 

[Champaign88]

Blatant travel before the missed three / rebound / made three. My goodness.

 

[punchabove33]

Game over

 

[the juiceman cometh]

And just like that back down by 8. WTF

 

[Orange Wave]

Gotta make a bucket and a play

 

[NASchamp]

I hate that sequence. That hurts.

 

[Iamgroot]

Come on fellas do you even want it cause your not playing like it

 

[bjp84]

Europeans can’t make free throws

 

[BrownTown]

We deserve to lose. All their is to it

 

[Naborman88]

Feels like game

 

[FloridaMan]

Unacceptable effort at the line and rebounding. Total disappointment. This game was there, but we are MIA minus Andrej tonight. Was hoping to get this one becuase Uconn and Tennessee will be really tough ones.

 

[Epsilon]

These guys are going to make us pay for every. Single. mistake.

 

[TheodoreRex]

MAKE FREE THROWS, REBOUND THE DANG BALL!!!! It's really that simple

 

[LurkerintheOpen]

Wanted to split this game and uconn, uconn seemed like the less likely W...

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Free throws. They are FREE!!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Missed FT, bad TO - Stojacovich is killing me. He keeps us in the game, then ouch.

 

[illiniguy24]

Absolute backbreaker. Missing free throws and layups. 22 points this half is pathetic

 

[Flyin' Illini]

5/11 free throws not good

 

[ILLFAN67]

Shooting ourselves in the foot. Don’t get to rebound, throw the ball away. Could’ve just had to 2 and now it’s 8

 

[punchabove33]

Free throws lost this game for us ..

 

[The pop of Champaign]

Completely outworked. Welcome back to reality
