As aggressive as Cincy has been, why aren’t Illini running more screen action?

 

[Hopingfor500]

have to wonder if these team has deeper issues. they don’t seem to be playing for each other, lacking in effort..

I think that people are upset right now and crazy comments result. They have an identity and role issue right now. This team has to find its way. I suspect it will. BU's teams, historically, get better as the season goes on because they gel. This is not a top 25 team right now, but I suspect, come March, it will be.

It seems it's time to pressure full court.

 

[KD1979ILL]

I believe they may have forgot to practice the offense... and defense... and special team. Oops that's football

 

[Fulton County Illini]

20 minutes scoreless with 7 minutes to play

 

[Illinisaurus]

Hey.. Rudolph the red nosed reindeer is on CBS...that's entertaining

 

[Illini_Jack]

Brad saw how piss pour our offense was against Marquette and this is what we get a week later

 

[skyIdub]

This is undoubtedly terrible....but it's absolutely astonishing how quickly some in this fan base throw players and coaches under the bus.

It happened last year too. It's even more pathetic than our team's performance....

Frazier, Williams, Grandy and Plummmer are now 1-18, but please do tell me whose fault this is

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

Anyone else eerily reminded of the Groce NIT game against Alabama these last 30 min?

 

[RickBB]

Why do we weave for 15 seconds of the clock when we are down 23 points?

 

[JustPassing]

3 f goals this 1/2

 

[blife]

No way we put up 50 points tonight. This is just embarrassing on so many levels.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

The Wes Miller lovefest continues.

 

[Ugh]

The weave is so 1980

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Observation: we rarely get the ball out in transition. That was our bread and butter last year — we’d run teams out of the gym.

 

[Illini_05]

Cant wait for Mark Smith to beat us tomorrow

 

[illinitiger]

Tthink

Can someone tell Damonte that he's allowed to shoot. We can't play 4 on 5 on offense.

that's not the main issue...7 total points in 2d half 13 minutes...with no adjustments and outrebounded/hustled. Cincy is impressive and we have outperformed

The Curbelo slander tonight is LOL funny. We might not break 30 without his efforts. The entire team is sleepwalking tonight.

Sim to end

 

[Illini John]

I love DW but he (along with everyone else tonight) is no threat to score. He has been on the floor all night. We are bad, but on top of bad, we are playing 4 on 5 on offense again.

I read your comment, but I can't figure out who the 4 are. After our initial run, it has looked like 0 on 5.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Dominating this game in literally every aspect. Keep it up boys!! Good to have the big fella back, but the whole team looks great.

Lot of great comments the first few pages, but this is my favorite.

How many shots of those were wide open? 1? 2?

Could there be a more incompetent coach than Brad Underwood? From Loyola to Cincinnati, good coaches pants him. Poor fundamentals, no in game adjustments.

There must not be many good coaches in the Big Ten then based on our record last year.
