Game Thread: Illinois vs Cincinnati

[Illini_Jack]

We've scored 4 points in the half

 

[bjp84]

Remind me again. Who is our go to shooter?

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

4 points in the first 7 minutes of the second half.

 

[spillini]

There’s still room on the BU doesn’t adjust train y’all

 

[thehass]

We couldn't be this bad if we just played street ball.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

I’m really at a loss for words at this point. This has to be our worst stretch of basketball since…when?

 

[Keisersose]

Does this show we miss Gentry?

 

[GallopingGhost]

This game is bad. O-VER.

 

[LouHenson]

Well we are learning how good Ayo was this is not a good team. Curbello is just jacking threes.now

 

[KBLEE]

Zero hustle. They are beating us to every loose ball.

 

[illini80]

Over 7 minutes without a field goal on what was supposed to be the best shooting team we’ve had since 05.

I feel like I’ve heard this one before.

 

[BashCtIllini]

uh.....keep recruiting

Is Monday Night Football on yet?

 

[IlliniRon]

Curbelo is not a 3 point shooter.

Against Marquette.

 

[Illini John]

Flat our being embarrassed.

This team has been way over hyped and over ranked. And it's gone to their heads.

 

[TheBattleAward]

This team is proving to be all hype, very disappointing. Ayo must have been better than we thought

 

[illiram11]

Holy cow, we suck. No unity, no set plays, this looks like a bad NBA team with no purpose, no coaching, and lack of energy.

 

[BalloonsTheElephant]

Fully expecting us to lose this so we can play KSU and lose again to Mark Smith and Bruce Weber. 38-35 3OT thriller.

 

[hoopsfan47]

This game is bad. O-VER.

Gotta agree Red...cannot see any way Illini can win this game.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

This is embarrassing.

 

[BBIQ]

ok so thats one point

Belo also 12 pts 5 assists for 2 rebounds a steal to go along with 4 to's

but hey that technical is the reason 75% of the team has not shown up ready to play

Turnovers don't tell the entire story. Some people on this board seem to have trouble grasping what poor decisions and wasted/bad possessions do to an offense but since its not on the score sheet some are oblivious to it. This defense of Belo based on his turnover stats just completely misses the point.

 

[thehass]

We've scored 4 points in the half

could be 3.

 

[SCottm]

Under coached. Seems like we are never prepared for our opponents, yet other teams know exactly how to play us. And in game adjustments? That is what the other team does when we go on a run. We never deviate.

I love that we are competitive. We are in most games. We have talent. We have good recruiters.

 

[logjam]

We all knew Ayo was important but dang I didn't think we'd immediately revert to John Groce level of offense without him.

We have a few guards who can't initiate an offense.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Flat our being embarrassed.

We need to quit reading press reports and play. Why is AC shooting three pointers?
