Game Thread: Illinois vs Chattanooga

[King Snake]

Zero adjustments once again. Shocker. What are we even doing. Act like you want to be there.

 

[InDaAZ]

Why are we so nerve-wracking to watch?

Because, as fans, we CARE!

 

[HailtotheChief]

If Kofi doesn't wanna get beat to death he Must make fts

 

[bootsy1974]

We look like the 13 seed right now and they look like the 4. Goodness this is the NCAA tournament. Cmon Illini act like you want to play, let's go!

 

[spillini]

We're also on pace for me to have a beer drought

 

[QCtoKC]

This game flow is so similar to Loyola. The scores have been nearly identical to that game last year. Just unreal that we do this two straight years.

FG 20%

[Oldskoolkoach]

More whistles than a B10 game. No flow. No offense. No energy.

Let's press and speed it up

 

[danbor]

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

I would not be surprised. Big Ten has become a joke in March.

 

[PNWIllini]

and of course miss your FTs please..

Seth Davis is right.

Wait til game ends for this much hot take

 

[Hof]

We Will Warm Up And Start Hitting A Ton Of Shots!!!!

GO ILLINI

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Feed Kofi. All. Day.

Kofi is 1/4 from the line. If we’re going to feed him, he’s going to need to finish at the rim.

 

[Da88]

Mocs came out and are taking it to us. Can't get out toughed like this.

 

[Illiniguy13]

Shots will start to fall and Chat is starting to pick up fouls to their bigs, we’re fine.

 

[PassingBy]

Down is ALL categories

 

[Ken]

Could someone please explain to me what these upperclassmen are doing that the freshman cant do as well ?

At this point you are looking for someone ANYBODY that can make a shot

 

[Bacon Butkus Swanson]

This is quite embarrassing…. You can understand poor shooting. But lack of effort on defense? In a tournament game? No upper class leadership at all.

Play the freshman and sophomores BU!! At least they act like they care.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Feed Kofi. All. Day.

To do that, we need much better passing from our guards and a faster pace, IMO. This looks like our Braggin’ Rights loss to Mizzou in 2019-20 so far…

 

[2ILL]

Put the freshmen in F it. These 5th year guards ain't it

 

[illiniguy24]

We have to get inside out threes. Have to get into the lane

 

[Butters]

Lots of time, these guys will figure it out.

 

[BoiseBaller]

somebody tell the guys we have a game today.

 

[KBLEE]

FG 20%
3PT 0.0%

FT is 25%

 

[hoopsfan47]

So disappointing to see the B1G champ and B1G tournament champions play so poorly in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. With all the bragging the coaches do about how good the league is...they are proving on the court that talk means nothing. It makes me sick to my stomach to see teams play like our Illini have played for almost 10 min. Stop the blundering play!!!!!!!

 

[SouthFarmLlama]

For all Brad's talk, his teams come out timid and no energy. Team's are who their coaches are. This is absolutely unacceptable.
