Game Thread: Illinois vs Chattanooga

[PassingBy]

TV time out is welcome. They are hot and we are not. Brad will make a few charges and Kofi will get the ball and draw fouls. Then the outside shot will open up. Stay calm my friends.

Outside of the TV time out and Brad making a few changes, was that not the game plan all along?

Can’t hit the broad side of a barn

Seems like all teams from Illinois may be destined to shoot under 25% today!

Wow this is not good so far.

 

[SouthFarmLlama]

We have zero offense. What happened? Our shooting is absolutely terrible lately.

 

[illiniguy24]

Well, this is….awful

Jacob Grandison is back.

Not a single good look yet. Horrible shots.

Look, extra time off doesn’t mean !!!! and I could care less if this post gets me blocked. Stop the nonsense y’all. It’s ILL Family here, let’s be real. This !!!! takes heart and this is unacceptable. Forget the analytics and all that, this is BALL! We’re more rusty by taking time off than playing through the BIG tournament. We practice against each other ALL YEAR LONG. There’s not more growth there than there is then playing other teams. I’m still confident we will make a run but let’s stop the nonsense please.

I don’t think we’ll win if we score 20

After Loyola last year, this is the one outcome I did not expect to start the game.

 

[OrangeNBrood]

This is kinda crazy.

We look like a group of guys who have never played together before.

We gon wake up, though. Somebody gonna get warm for us...

 

[fatlard]

Do we not like to drive to the hoop?

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

if Michigan is the only team to make it out of the first round....

Purdue says Hi

 

[WSIOTCSS]

Big Ten might be more overrated than usual this year, yikes.

 

[Calvin]

Team looks terrible. Look lost.

 

[Thunder99]

We are facing a disciplined well coached team fundamentally. Something we are not.

 

[NarrowJ]

Almost every shot is under duress so far. Chattanooga playing very hard. They should wear down a bit, I hope.

Bring the frosh in....if this is the effort and performance we're going to get from the veterans.

 

[CogDog]

Why are we so nerve-wracking to watch?

 

[CV Illini]

Thank goodness we're finally healthy
