Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

That's fine the he hasn't been right and I get that. That said, he looks completely outmanned regardless of what the reason is. He's made some beautiful passes, but his is nowhere near physical enough tonight. I think part of that is he is coming back from illness. Part of it is he needs a couple of years in the weight room and part of it is he doesn't know how to be physical yet. He plays on the perimeter. That's where he's comfortable.
Dude, how you can watch that first half and say the offense is running fine?You're a good guy, I'm sure, but I'm sorry....they've got to shoot open shots and they have to make them. That's it. End of story. Tomi is useless out there today night.
If we're just shooting decently from 3.....5f 16. We're down 2.
That's it. The offense is running fine. His guys don't believe that they make shots and confidence is everything when shooting it. They need to see a few go down.
Don't overanalyze. Need to make open looks and HAVE to rebound. Tomi has gotten rooted out time and after time.

Or if we shot all 2’s and hit at tonight’s rate we’d be up 3
I'm sorry, but we are number 303 in the country in three point shooting percentage. Chucking 30+ threes a game is certain death. Hoping we suddenly make 33% is not a wining strategy.You're a good guy, I'm sure, but I'm sorry....they've got to shoot open shots and they have to make them. That's it. End of story.

How about we go for some continuity then. Who in their right mind thinks you can do a wholesale changeout of personnel, while most other top teams and and substract 2-3 players to an already good nucleus, and expect to win consistently? Then add insult to injury by having a couple inexperienced coaches managing the O and D.
Brad at halftime said "keep shooting" the threes. ugh
Naw am almost seeing the bottom of my bourbon already…sometimes lousy basketball does that to you.
No. Because Duke is actually good
Yeah just continue to shoot the 3’s… smh
The used car salesman said Booth Humdinger and Boswell were better than Coleman Ty and Sincere. Dude has got to go. Image those 3 with this other talent We have. It is pretty clear players can't stand Underwood more than a season or two and Underwood always likes shiny new things instead of proven loyal players. He blames others and blows hot smoke when his style of basketball is trash and his coaching staff is mostly trash too. Don't forget that trash of an offense he brought to town.
Okay getting flashbacks of when Skyy Clarke was toxic to the team…who is the toxic anomaly here?
Well, there’s the “keep shooting it”…
So in the interview Underwood said he wants them to keep shooting threes because eventually they will fall. I am seriously thinking Brad needs a mental evaluation.
Oh look. Ben is starting
And Brad thinks we aren’t a bad shooting 3s and to keep shooting them.
Been missed a wide open 3 and then leaves his man and gives up a wide open 3.

Brads got it all figured out! "Keep shooting it, we are elite shooters in Ubben center with nobody guarding us."
REBOUND for gods sake...
I just don’t see how a competent coach would see this and think we should shoot out the funk. The sample size is big enough to show that three point shooting is not our strength regardless of how well they shoot in practice.
