Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

[Second place is 1st loser]

Stop. They're picking on Riley and we don't have an interior presence to contend in the glass. It's an enormous talent differential.

 

[jmm]

Doesn’t excuse giving up uncontested, or contested, layups where they could have physically went to the basket. Just kicking it out when you’re driving it to the basket doesn’t make sense.

Did Underwood say, "We're shooting all 2 point shots?" Hmmm, we may wanna admit him and fire for cause

 

[illinifreak30]

I’m out, this is infuriating

 

[punchabove33]

Curb stomped.. lose by 30+

 

[Plots of Morrow]

Fire Hamer

 

[spillini]

Underwood is just terrible this season.

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Offensive foul if we shove off like that. Come on.

 

[OneTime3]

Such a !!!!ing push off

 

[stlrunner]

You’d think being 0-10 from 3pt would be the hardest thing to watch about this game, but honestly, the defensive effort is just as bad.

 

[Oracle21]

6’7 Knueppel vs 6’1 DGL yeah that ain’t gonna work

 

[ChiTown]

All this wide open looks and still can’t make a shot.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Honest question: when was the last time BH hit a three?

 

[TheodoreRex]

Brad needs to sit this one out...

 

[illinifan1971]

We got Seth curry on our team tonight!

 

[ILL-Intentions]

Oh no, we suck again! /s kinda

 

[Da88]

0 for 10 from 3. Unreal.

Tomi has to practically play the whole game and is tired, we really need Morez. Would love to have Dain!

 

[CleverHandle1]

Awesome defense once again!

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

What a substitution, Ben and Booth. Gasoline on the fire!

 

[NASchamp]

So much standing around. No boxing out.

I don’t think they’re prepped or even wanting to be in this game. So much for playing loose and having nothing to lose.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

They're just bigger and stronger at every position. We're being bullied at every position. Obviously, we can't make threes.

Not good anywhere.

 

[abchew2]

We look soft and lacking chemistry. Tough to watch.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

B

This team just has nothing. They can't shoot... they can't rebound... can't defend.

This season is lost with the veterans... they've been very poor... freshman are just keeping this afloat... very underwhelmed with our portal evaluation. be better.

I know it's bad today, but we're not missing-the-tourney bad like we have been in recent eras. We're just way overmatched and outcoached in this game.

Haaaaa. Omg. Wtf Is happening
