Game Thread: Illinois vs Arkansas

[battle]

first two possessions attack the paint - since then 2 TOs and 2 3's. Ark is very handsy

 

[NarrowJ]

Missed Hawkins wide open underneath and then subsequently dribble into a double team and try to put up a shot over both guys.

 

[Illini2013]

I see nothing has changed offensively. We know how this movie ends...

 

[BBlock24]

Offense again has no flow. Same thing different day.

 

[illinipimp]

I guess we didn’t like that little Hawkins jump hook in the lane that’s there all day but what the hell let’s shoot 3’s.

 

[Illini_1979]

Digging ourselves a hole.

 

[FloridaMan]

Will we get to 60 points?

 

[alaaji]

No more threes please!

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

We should try shooting more threes

 

[New Creation]

Our 3rd 3 already...

Hey look, an Illinois game!

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

2 Des Moines wedgies. I did not have that on my March Madness bingo sheet.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Can anyone guess which team brought the energy to start?

Neither really. Pretty ugly ball all around.

 

[Jimbo]

Hoping underwood was telling terrance to drive to the hoop

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Love the offense glad we had a week to practice

 

[GallopingGhost]

Hey I’ve seen this one before!

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Check the air pressure in that ball.

 

[Illini8420]

Typical bad start and bad lineup to start the game. Go to Harris and Rodgers Brad. Let’s force some turnovers

 

[Mr. Roberts]

4:36 in, holding them to 25% shooting, and we're down 6. I guess shooting 14% and getting hammered on the boards is not a good strategy.

 

[Deep]

Not good basketball right now on the offensive end

 

[grantlab]

Arkansas with 5 extra field goal attempts through 5 minutes has a “this won’t end well” feel to it, but I’ve been wrong before.

 

[St Michel]

Same old !!!!. I thought they might come out sharp.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

They're working to get layups and short jumpers. And we're jacking up contested 3s. Doesn't bode well for us right now.

 

[SuperMetroid]

I see the NCAA is using the Wal-Mart rubber ball for the tournament again

 

[ILLFAN67]

Come on you guys. Run some offense please!
