Game Thread: Illinois vs Baylor (Exhibition)

[AssemblyHallForever]

This team is horrible defensively… absolutely basura

Defense needs lots of work.

53 points in 16 minutes. Wow. Wtf is this,Brad?

 

[fatboyslim]

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

Would be nice wouldn't it?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

We need dudes over 7 foot who know how to rebound. I think that is what I missing from this team. Real big me.

Are you being sarcastic?

1)It's a practice game
2)Our 6'9" All America is chilling out and watching this one.

Shockingly bad

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I dunno what it being an exhibition game has to do with anything. It's not a scrimmage. And Baylor sure isn't treating it like it's meaningless.

Uh… it literally doesn’t count. Pre-season football, Spring Training, etc. Plenty of time for frustration later, I promise.

Bears scoring on pace for about 120 or so.

I thought we were told Cam Crocker was the answer to our defensive issues? It ain't happening and we are in year two. If anything we are worse.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Idk why I paid for this shxt

 

[Scoregasm]

Brad doesn't seem to mind...

 

[ILLFAN67]

Our 3 pt defense is atrocious. Rebounding sucks.

 

[JKR]

Quick guards will be an issue for us all year, so I think this is a great test early for the Illini

It was an issue last year.

 

[BBlock24]

This thread is hysterical lol.

 

[Rap47]

Man are you so called fans on here in mid season form.

Big Z block at the rim and then little Mingo sneaks into FIVE on ONE paint territory for the putback.

NICE!!!

 

[LouHenson]

I don’t think Mirk makes up the 16 points and like what 50% from 3? Poor defense is putting it mildly

 

[Lakes333]

This is hot garbage. Defense is horrendous.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Is the season over?

Based on the comments coming from a freaking exhibition game.... let's just cancel the season. Weird.

 

[RichardKeenesCousin]

Well….. I guess it doesn't matter, but the defense is bad right? Or is Baylor really good?

[Kernal12]

Love Underwood, but he’s never really been able to instill the “defend the home court” mentality. Lots of poor home performances, more so than on the road.

They're likely running base defense like in game one. That isn't the issue. Effort and rebounding aren't things you scheme.

Baylor has taken 9 more shots than we have and have made 7 of them.

Brad doesn't seem to mind...

Cam Crocker better start to mind
