Game Thread: Illinois vs Arkansas

[SuperMetroid]

How tf did his last two threes not go in

 

[IlliniForceOne]

I guess we are just riding the Matt Mayer train right on through to a 20 point loss.

I really appreciate how Underwood likes to have to the kids figure out how to stop 0-10 runs on the court, rather than call an earlier timeout. That could come in very handy for post-season.

We get plenty of practice, that's for sure.

 

[Stevegarbs]

what's Mayer's +/-?

- bajillion

Do they listen to anything he says? If they do they've proven to be incapable of executing any of it.

Underwood absolutely gave up by continuing to play Mayer.

 

[coachingillini]

I'm sad for Matthew Mayer. He's just a kid, playing what looks to be his final game. I hope some of these final shots go down for him.

Mayer is not a kid..he is 23 years old making more than 95% of us.

 

[azillini1]

Illini shooting like Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Along Came Polly."

We have 12 FG's and 13 TO's. Just horrible for a team that had so much hype.

 

[CentralILLini]

OF COURSE WE DONT GET THAT REBOUND

Dude. So frustrating.

 

[BlueLeader]

We feel as advertised. There's nothing surprising in this game.

 

[Chad Fleck]

This is just comically awful

Yeah, I'm laughing now. For real.

 

[BRucks]

Good God Hawkins

 

[bjp84]

Hawk, quit dribbling the ball. You’re not a point guard

 

[OneTime3]

Mayer has to be on some kind of historical pace for an ice cold shooting streak.

 

[TentakilRex]

Princeton up on Zona lol

 

[New Creation]

MM completely a no-show

 

[BBIQ]

We haven't had hype since December

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

This is an.....interesting lineup.

 

[TonyClifton]

Walsh fouls every 5 seconds

 

[HailtotheChief]

I don't understand why Epps is not playing, He at least takes care of the darn ball

 

[Ilanoy]

MM completely a no-show

A no show would have been preferable. He was a massive net negative.

 

[New Creation]

all under classmen on the floor right now

 

[FloridaMan]

I don't understand why Epps is not playing, He at least takes care of the darn ball

Possible concussion after affects?

 

[SuperMetroid]

RJ sighting!

 

[sdfidaho]

This team can’t shoot 3’s and doesn’t have a point guard.
That is a recipe for not moving on in The Tournament.
This is not a surprise
