Game Thread: Illinois vs Chattanooga

[JJE]

I love the guy, but I wish I knew why Underwood teams play like garbage in the tourney.

 

[hiberto]

their guys were in foul trouble before the half and have done nothing to try to get them to foul out

 

[CDRUSN]

Every time we pull close, Chat pulls away again. Our inconsistency is just so frustrating. It's like we put a loaded gun to our head and shout "Stop me before I kill again!"

 

[Docta Illiniwek]

Love Kofi but he still has a lot to learn in terms of post moves and patience in the post. Overpowering the other team isn't going to work everytime

 

[New Creation]

this is an RJ game... come on coach.. don't show this in back to back NCAA games.. failure to change on the fly..

 

[plooger]

What is wrong with Frazier?????????

What happened to Williams? He’s disappeared late in the season.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Feels like Loyola. Keep creeping but can’t do it

Except Loyola played well and forced us into our poor play. This time there is no excuse. Too many unforced errors, and the only reason the game is close is because Chattanooga is also playing poorly.

What is wrong with Frazier?????????

Can he see?

 

[illiram11]

This is excruciating. I've seen bad losses in the tourney many times but I cannot take this tonight. Come on boys.

 

[Illini Farmer]

Trent needs to come out

 

[illinitiger]

JMO…. But Underwood needs to light them up and get them to play p****d off.

Full court press...sense of urgency....we are the better team...and superior in fast break game...push it.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Honestly, I never felt like we creeped Loyola. This game is ours if we just take it.

That’s what’s so frustrating … Loyola is way better than Chattanooga. We are up 10+ if we even hit shots at a REASONABLY BAD clip and stop turning it over so much.

They took a point away from us on Plummer's last shot geez

 

[spillini]

Trent 0-6 and not even close on any shot. Didn't even take the wide open layup a couple minutes ago. Pink eye, or overuse on the year?

I think he's spent

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

They took a point away from us on Plummer's last shot geez

It was definitely a 2, not sure why they scored it a 3 to start with.

 

[SuperMetroid]

This Banks guy is killing us

 

[IlliniForceOne]

At this point I am just speechless.

 

[BDMAN]

Where has our rebounding gone Cohawk was totally our of position on that rebound

 

[GrayGhost77]

Don't think I can stomach being 0-3 all time versus freaking Chattanooga.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

They took a point away from us on Plummer's last shot geez

It was obvious they were going to because that was nowhere near a 3. Scorer messed up

 

[sully]

our rebounding is pathetic on both sides of the ball. wtf is going on with our guys?! Did they all break curfew and hit up the bars last night or something

 

[Thrillhouse]

Zero points from Trent is a tough look

 

[superfan]

Bunches

 

[Jester87]

Can we get the upside down kool aid man for the post game loser thread because that's how I feel right now.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Zero points from damonte and Trent is a tough look

This is an astounding statistic in a tournament game. Astounding.
