Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

[Orangetool]

I dont like Flagg's elbows

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Maybe Elite means something like "sucks" "can't shoot" "worthless" or "they're bad" in some foreign language only Brad knows.

 

[RML]

If we could hit 20% of our 3's, we would be right there.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Environment seems awesome, even tho our team predictably is not. Huge kudos to the orange and blue in attendance.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

And yet the one most reliant on threes.

KJ and Boswell both passed up a layup to kick out for missed threes.

 

[NarrowJ]

I hate how frantic we look. This is why "get old, stay old" was the right move. We look like a bunch of guys who haven't been here before because most of our guys haven't been here before.

Frantic is spot on

Nobody has a shred of confidence anymore, but the way they've played for the last month, it makes sense why

 

[Rusty]

Booth's due for 2 missed three's in a row! Let's do this!!!!!

FIFY

 

[Ryllini]

Lights so far aren't too bright for
Tomi
Tre
Will
Bos
Kj

With what should be a bigger emphasis going to the hole, tre fits the bill.

32 - brick.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Duke is 4 for 8 from 3 point for 50%, Illini are 0 for 7 for ???????????????????????????????????????????

Oh extremely similar shot quality- mostly wide open in rhythm

 

[TheodoreRex]

If we literally didn't shoot another 3 the rest of the game, I'd be a-ok with that.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Defense is just brutal. Something has to change here.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Airballing threes too…

This is fun.

 

[Oracle21]

Riley is getting torched on D

 

[Mr. Roberts]

 

[KingWolf11]

We are just not good and thats that

 

[FoundersClub]

Wheels are about to come off.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Great defense!!!!

 

[Ilanoy]

Ivisic is not ready to play at the division I level

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Tomi is so incredibly soft. My goodness. He and Riley are both useless on defense.

This game is over.

 

[D1959]

And so it begins

 

[DeeIL89]

I really wanna know what Brad saw in Hamer that made him go "Yep. This guy knows defense." Smh.

 

[punchabove33]

If I were Duke, I won't even cover the 3 point shot anymore..

 

[aveseaboy]

God we look awful

 

[Jimbo]

Nothing personal, but we suck.
