Game Thread: Illinois vs Baylor (Exhibition)

[ChiTown]

This Baylor team is no joke. Really playing hard

I really think we’re just not putting up any effort right now,no defense,rebounding or even making our shots.

 

[IlliniCC16]

Ironically, the Motrin Fighting Illini are giving me a headache...

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Baylor seems like 5 speeds quicker than everyone but Coleman tonight.

This is bad.

 

[JKR]

Getting crushed on the boards. Brad is gonna rip into these guys.

11-4

 

[Scoregasm]

Our rebounding is a joke

 

[BTM33]

Not good at all.

If they want the smoke and are prepared to meet expectations...you can't play like this.

The twins straight up just need to be better. Vaaks is actually trying on defense so thats a positive.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Yeah exhibition, but in this era the eyes that are likely on this game we better get our sh-t together

 

[BBlock24]

Is the season over?

 

[FloridaMan]

Refs are giving the Illini a run for their money for bad nights so far

 

[illiniguy24]

Score?

 

[New Creation]

If our big men don’t play big boy basketball. We are going to 5 - 6 non conference games alone.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

My kingdom for a big man with an attitude that will get those rebounds every time.

 

[FloridaMan]

33 points given up in 11 minutes is, shall we say, not good.

 

[Grange Grover]

Score?

33-25 Baylor

[Illin618]

Score?

Baylor 33-25 9:15 1H

 

[BBlock24]

Can we not overreact to exhibition games without our best player?

 

[New Creation]

We might need to play small. Need mirk badly because our twins are non existent

 

[AssemblyHallForever]

Score?

33-27 Baylor

 

[Calvin]

3 straight buckets

 

[FloridaMan]

Andre on an absolute mission this year!

 

[stlrunner]

Ahhhh…I’ve missed the doom and gloom of the game threads. Now it really feels like basketball is back!

 

[ChiTown]

My kingdom for a big man with an attitude that will get those rebounds every time.

That’s where we miss Mirk.

 

[Altuve27]

Look, just no injuries. That’s all I care about. Do we need to play better and HARDER? Damn straight. However, I’m not losing sleep over what we look like on October 23.

This will annoy Brad and he will get their attention as only he can.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Baylor just so much quicker to the ball.

Andrej taking over offensively

How is this Baylor team unranked?
