Game Thread: Illinois vs Arkansas

[Calvin]

Down 9, 1:18

 

[KBLEE]

At least with Arizona and Virginia losing, nobody will be talking about us.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Hawkins. Give. The. Ball. Up.

Unbelievable. I don’t even have words for this group’s unique ability to cause us all pain.

 

[bjp84]

Once again, Hawk, you’re not a guard!!! That was a rally killer

 

[Illiniguy13]

It was not meant to be for this squad

 

[Jimbo]

These freshmen and sophomores are special. Next year will be better.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Well, he’s actually really good. But he’s a pretty terrible 6’10” point guard

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Turnovers, missed free throws......all year. Oof. Good fight though

 

[Kingo24]

The lack of awareness out there is astounding

 

[Ramrod2010]

6 TO’s for Coleman today.

This Arkansas team was dying to give us this game and we just refused to take it.

With the number of turnovers we had today, you could say we actually gave it away.

 

[Orange Wave]

Damn

 

[bergd91]

With 220 to go, I was screaming foul. 1 minute wasted and a turnover. Mind blowing

 

[Chad Fleck]

At least with Arizona and Virginia losing, nobody will be talking about us.

I doubt anyone would have been talking about an 8/9 game anyway.

 

[Dragons89]

CH….just wish he could get that next mental gear. The crunch time not so kind to him.

He is good when he doesn’t force it. But he has forced it too much

 

[CDRUSN]

Cohawk with 6 turnovers should be an indicator he should not be bringing the ball up for us. Once again, the Illini fall short, in the most frustrating season I can ever remember.

Unfortunately, our only PG like player is still coming back from a concussion. Not many choices.

 

[eas23]

He had Shannon at full speed down the wing. That's a one possession game.

 

[illinipimp]

I suddenly remember Dandy Don Meridith on MNF. Turn out the lights…..

 

[New Creation]

21 3's taken

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Go get us a real point guard. It’s too hard trying to use combo guards as point guards. Although we have won a lot doing it this way, I think we need a true distributor.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Well, he’s actually really good. But he’s a pretty terrible 6’10” point guard

Joakim Noah was 6'11'' and he still thought he could run the point on fast break at times when he was with the Bulls.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Well we can't dig these holes outta the gate every darn game, its just been crazy,
Time to get in the portal and find a PG

 

[Flyin' Illini]

6-21 from three. Is that supposed to be bad? That's a hot shooting night!

 

[Jimbo]

That sequence just crushed me. It really did.

It’s just a game, but yeah
