Game Thread: Illinois vs Chattanooga

[tigernike23]

That 3 gave me Loyola vibes…

It’s like they don’t want it.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Omg Coleman. Calm down and don't force shots

 

[KingWolf11]

This short rotation of nobody but Plummer doing ANYTHING is brilliant.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Looks like frustration at the physical play is getting to some of our guys.

Why are the announcers 100% one-sided? They are supposed to be biased. I've always hated TNT and cannot stand the NBA on TNT.

It's a 4-13 matchup. Announcers favoring the underdog upset isn't unusual.

 

[Th3Univ3rs3]

We shouldn’t have a heart attack game in the first round and the fact we’re relying on our secondary players to win, nahhh, Hawkins and co have one more year so they’ll lose this game for us but next year like always right? I don’t watch NBA anymore and I’m a fan of the sport overall, only reason I watch college is because of the Hometown team but I’m about done.

Paris is outcoaching Underwood by a lot. Same as Moser last year

 

[SuperMetroid]

Every time with a chance to tie dumb turnover

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

 

[Illiniguy13]

Just unintelligent basketball

 

[Docta Illiniwek]

The frustrating part of this game is the dumb turnovers, frazier laying an egg, Kofi not really doninating

 

[Orange Wave]

Brad pooping the bed with his lineups..maybe try something different

 

[IceCuban]

So many bad shot choices

 

[Thrillhouse]

Can't say I'm surprised. This is pretty much the team we've seen all season

 

[D1959]

Hard to understand personal decisions tonight. I know Frasier and Williams are seniors in this very well could be their last game but being bullheaded about not playing somebody else is going to get us beat

They're not one sided. You're frustrated, as am I. They're calling the game for what it is.....a huge upset in the making.

 

[RML]

I'm afraid that if they get this back above 5, we're done

 

[Illini8420]

Everything I was worried about happened. This team is so predictable. We need some recruits with bball IQ

 

[LJ22]

Hawkins at least has fight. I respect that even if some decisions are poor.

Love to see more of that mentality.

 

[Champaign88]

We are not a smart team. We have no concept of time and score and who is hitting shots.

Curbelo has been tremendous but down two at 46-48 with 5 ish minutes to go in the game is not the time to take a high risk pass. Kofi and Plummer are the main offensive options at the moment and we should be trying to get Kofi or Plummer the ball instead of a spinning sky hook.

 

[BlueLeader]

We are now +200 to win. Not good.

 

[sdfidaho]

NEVER LEAD ONCE

 

[spillini]

or even Goode for that matter. Hawkins is seriously killing us right now

Ehhh played well overall, just needs a breather to settle down

 

[Manual3for4peat]

I don’t understand why we are refusing to play the freshman that helped us win ugly games this year.
