Game Thread: Illinois vs Houston

[number1IlliniFan]

Curbelo 3s are not going to win this game. Why is it up to him to shoot these?

They are leaving him wide open. Making it 5 on 4 just tempting him to shoot for an automatic turnover.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

After watching the first rd thats 100% on the coach because EVERY SINGLE team I've watched has shot those shots without hesitation . Bruce has these guys wound tighter than a drum on shots they should be shooting without hesitation .

Wut?

 

[HailtotheChief]

If we get up 10 or more fewer shots due to poor rebounding and turnovers..we are in big trouble

 

[SuperSmashBro]

Why are we passing up shots. A little too unselfish right now.

Except Belo

 

[LarryGotFouled]

Where is RJ???? He can shoot!

 

[Epsilon]

BS call

 

[ILLFAN67]

There your Melendez sighting

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Listen, refs, you have to call this game both ways. That's all I ask. Call it both freakin ways.

He is the only guy with the balls to put up an open look right now

 

[Bigtex]

That is a great trade

 

[spillini]

Second phantom phoul

 

[Icy veins]

What a bail out call

 

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

RJ instant offense

 

[WyattEarp]

The Bank is Open for RJ!

 

[IceCuban]

Take the shot you're given guys, a couple of threes and the offense opens up. Too afraid to miss, but leaving yourself a late shot clock/contested shot ain't gonna be any easier.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Melendez, that didn’t take long.

 

[Illini_Jack]

MELENDEZ! LFG!!!

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Melendez, that didn’t take long.

That’s the recipe it seems against this Houston team. Attack.

 

[PNWIllini]

Hope he’s OK

 

[KingWolf11]

Melendez isn’t scared

 

[FloridaMan]

How about that???

 

[aaeismacgychel]

HOW IS THAT NOT A FOUL?!?!! KOFI'S GETTING RAKED

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

These refs aren't calling anything except ticky-tack fouls.

 

[Champaign88]

I’ve hated our inbounds plays all year and looks like Houston has scouted them.

Timeout please.
