Game Thread: Illinois vs Arkansas

[D1959]

D

Just can't seem to take care of the ball

Don’t have a point guard

 

[hiberto]

offense is abysmal. on pace for under 30 points

 

[SaintLIllini]

arkansas is not a good 3pm shooting team but at least they know it

 

[JSpence]

Hopefully just some tournament jitters. I think we’ll turn it around. Need to settle down.

None of the upperclassmen on this team seem to have the problem of getting OVERexcited...

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Nah

I always thought that's what supporters of a team do. Support the team.

Nah, I can support a team and also be real about what I'm seeing.

 

[Amelot]

Does anybody else find the scores of the top of the screen distracting?

I'll take any distraction I can get at this point.

Talk about laying an egg on the biggest stage ever...kind of like forgetting your lines in a
Broadway play and then walking out of the building. Matches the worst play of the season on both ends but for the longest time.

[D1959]

And here comes the 3’s

 

[GallopingGhost]

Mayer fouled on a 3, watch out Arkansas lol

 

[fatboyslim]

Will we get to 20 by half?

 

[CleverHandle1]

By the end of game, Arkansas with 30 FTs to Illinois's 10.

Hit these FTs, Mayer.

 

[Illini8420]

Too bad we never practice zone. That would completely shut Arkansas down. Oh well.

 

[SuperMetroid]

There’s the Mayer 3 FT play. Hope this gets him going

 

[grantlab]

We don’t run any offense. Even Brad is saying it on live TV. I don’t know who it’s on, but it’s inexcusable.

 

[PassingBy]

What is our lowest in a half? ANy idea?

 

[BDMAN]

We are shooting 4 for 20 and are shooting 20% we have 10 points in almost 15 minuets of basketball...wow just wow SMH

 

[illinipimp]

offense is abysmal. on pace for under 30 points

Uhhh under 20 ?

 

[CV Illini]

At the game. We look like……well….what we’ve loooked like all season. Hoping for a Texas/UCLA type performance but we are tough to watch right now. Shannon needs to take charge

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Considering they've been doing it for years, no.

Maybe it's just my mood.

 

[New Creation]

we need to practice fundamentals in the off season.. We have to miss more Layups than any other power 5 teams this year.

and we need a real PG...

Missing a lot of layups

 

[ILLFAN67]

Let’s go on a run!!!

 

[Chad Fleck]

Walsh appears to have Alopecia.

 

[Orangetool]

We don't have any shooters.

Couple that with missed layups and, well that's about it.

Live by the 3, die by the 3! Turnovers and no ball security will lead to a deficit. Rebounding is key and playing as one defensively.
