Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

1 for 20

I've lost a little interest, hard to stay engaged with it never getting under 20 but it seems like they're playing make-it take-it. Every time I look up after Duke scores they're headed back on offense.

Lol so sad that Duke knows they can just clog the lane and wait for us to brick a three, open or not.

 

[Germanboxers]

Uhhh is like 19-14 good enough to get into the tournament…assuming we can beat Iowa and win 1 in the BTT?

Those are big assumptions

 

[madcrazeeballa]

Ah yes Carey Booth is the answer

 

[Mr. Roberts]

We have one basket this half.
Duke has twice as many shot attempts this half.
This is embarrassing.

 

[Jersten]

Duke plays for each other. And they play HARD!
Illinois just doesn't know what that looks like

This is not “we’re sick” this is a real problem

Kneuppel’s mom needs a litttle more time in the tanning bed, she’s looking a little pale.

The way those bricks almost shatter the metal rim is something to behold. Never seen anything like it

Fox has to be pissed for what they scheduled and paid for

 

[TheodoreRex]

please tell me you're being facetious??????????

 

[BigE]

Yep, 30 minute + a game guy!

 

[Jersten]

No cuts to the hoop.
Just stand around the 3 point line and dribble and screen...
Pathetic

It’s coaching, 100%

Brad's clearly lost this team. The starting 5 was the same team from the beginning of the year. MJ loss is obviously huge, but he doesn't change this outcome much I don't believe. EVERY SINGLE PLAYER has regressed this year...you can't blame that all on injuries and sickness.

And at some point, there has to be a discussion about BU & these blowout losses to the "elite" teams, right?

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Brad - Were 1 for 21 from three point land? Paging Mr. Underwood. HELLO! HELLO!

 

[Oracle21]

Duke could pull their starters now

Repping the Big Ten

Nah, they get to showcase Cooper Flagg, who always plays on ESPN. Still worth it in their eyes

Probably pissed that the Super Bowl result was what it was. It's sports, blowouts happen. 2 months ago, this was a can't miss game.

Always appreciate the binary scoreline...glad he got his cardio inView attachment 39949

Imagine continuing to run this player out there 30+ per night.

 

[TampaToo]

What is Underachiever’s buyout?

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Big time Ben with a board! Never jumped...just kinda bounced to him

Beat Iowa and you can rest easy. This bubble this year is just awful. Our SOS and Q1 wins have us in, but winning a game versus a 8, 9 or 10 seed is a completely different story.

It's still 50% chance to even beat Iowa.. lol
