Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

[Keisersose]

Careful you don’t get mono.

 

[Germanboxers]

I bet Ty Rodger’s would be able to shoot 2/15…that’d be 6 points we don’t have now and probably 6 or more reduced points for Duke due his defense.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

But we just give him the ball and hope he can create. There is zero thought put into our offense, my mind is boggled.

 

[DeeIL89]

Heat of the moment talking right now. Lol. Give me Chris Beard.

 

[jacekpardol]

Brad apologists will tell you that he's better than the worse coach in our history so “he’s good enough”

 

[LurkerintheOpen]

I’m actually starting to root for the 0-30 plus 3 pt stat line. Would be incredible.

 

[NASchamp]

Can someone tell our team the far line out there is for the NBA? We don’t have to keep shooting behind it?!

 

[Iamgroot]

Sadly sure don't feel like at least we made the Elite 8 last year at this point we might really be lucky to even be in the tournament this year

 

[BashCtIllini]

on the plus side, I do love that John Tesh jam that leads into commercials.

we’re drinking every time we kiss a 3.. we’re drunk

Username checks out

Also, smart ones were drunk when the game started

 

[RickBB]

What’s the earliest Dan has opened up the post game thread?

 

[BoiseBaller]

Maybe run some offense to get a clean three off the catch.

 

[DB11Headband]

ZERO FOR FIFTEEN

It’s been a few years, but I am hitting at least one of you give me fifteen tries. The shooting on this team needs to be studied.

 

[NarrowJ]

Total bullsh*t foul, he can't run beside the guy with his arms in the air?

 

[GTL Adam]

I’d be happier if Brad just took the Texas job he tried so hard to get last time …

No sane person wants him fired, but it may be best for everyone if he just leaves on his own.

 

[champaignpak]

just ridiculous call there

 

[purcy51]

Great D by DGL there. Horrible call

 

[OneTime3]

DGL gets so many bull !!!! fouls called on him.

 

[hoopsfan47]

BU thought this team might make more than 30 three pointers in a game....but they are on pace to miss 30 and make none. For a team that individually were projected to have 9 strong arc shooters, this season has been unimaginable.

 

[Iamgroot]

At least got it to 15 down at this point keep fighting guys you never know

Come on DB … Give yourself some cred …

I know you good for at least 5/15 of these wide open ones …

We sure miss our MVP. Hope he can make it back before season ends.. No defensive presence without him.

Our MVP? No.

He was playing less than 20 minutes per game, for most of the season we were complaining he wasn't getting enough time. The staff only recently discovered it was not illegal him and Tomi to be on the floor at the same time.

He was improving and big part of our future, but we're just making excuses if the claim is he's our MVP

 

[azillini1]

I just wish there was a portal for coaches and we could place 3 of our coaches in it... including BU

 

[LocalChief505]

This team and coaching staff gives me diarrhea.

Illini 0 for 16 - The record for the most consecutive missed three-point shots by a team in NCAA Division I men's basketball is held by the University of Kentucky. They missed 24 consecutive three-point attempts in a game against Vanderbilt on February 11, 2017
