I miss the first half against Maryland.

15 points w 6 mins to go....yuck

This might be the most sloppy first half of basketball I’ve EVER seen

Missed the Maryland game...did you?

 

[tyrannosaurus scorus]

pretty calamitous showing thus far

 

[whatahack]

Finke is done.....

 

[CoalCity]

At least we got a shot up before that turnover. Geebus

First half vs. Maryland > This crap

Pretty ugly basketball...on both sides.

This would be a good time for a couple of AJ threes to turn things around

 

[TCTORNADO]

4 assists; 12 TO's

 

[GoIllini23]

Some Illini Fan just yelled “come on, you look like the football team”, at least it was worth a laugh

what in the world

Absolutely. Understandable to have a tough half against a BIG team. But at home against Austin Peay? GMAFB.

That's why mark Smith isn't starting

Oh my gosh this is ugly. Our offense is horrendous!

 

[tyrannosaurus scorus]

this is psu 38-33 ill bad

 

[katytxillini]

We are worried about our zone offense- maybe we should be more worried about teams pressuring the ball and denying the wings. Too much standing and lazy passes.

 

[GoIllini23]

Underwood has been mostly silent, garbage cans be warned

 

[CoalCity]

Somebody better go into the locker room and hide the garbage cans before halftime

 

[Deleted member 649710]

Almost makes me pine for the days of Weberball. Almost. :tsk:

yup....I am certain BU would have preferred he take the wide open 3 instead of the straight on throw to the rafters. Check the scoreboard and see if all the lights are still working...or if there is a hole in the ceiling.

 

[Deleted member 4960]

This is worse than Maryland. At least we scored 25 by halftime

 

[alexander58]

Was 13 points the line or the over/under?

 

[Deleted member 652352]

Man Mark’s confidence looks a little...shaken.

Just get into half tied or up a couple of buckets. Unlike past regimes where a poor first half typically led to an even uglier second half, Underwood seems to adjust well coming out of halfs

No I saw it, didn’t like it but I’ll take that over this any day. We haven’t had a good look at the basket since I don’t know how long.

How are we managing to get our butts kicked by our very own style of defense?
