Game Thread: Illinois vs Houston

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

Need shooters. Plummer and grandson threes are needed

If anyone's grandson can make a three I'll take it at this point.

 

[mydosburns]

Curbelo to end of bench and leave him there

Who is playing better to put in for him?

 

[skyIdub]

Embarrassing.

 

[sacraig]

I mean I hate Sampson, but his teams always play hard. Can’t say the same for this squad right now

He's shady but he's also a good coach. And yes it hurt to type that.

 

[FloridaMan]

This will get very ugly

 

[Da88]

About to get smoked. Sad.

 

[Highlander]

At some point, you might just need to let Goode and Podz put up some threes. I love Trent, Belo and DMW, but…

 

[Bacon Butkus Swanson]

Houston is executing their defensive game plan to perfection. Play physical and force the worst shooters to make shots. Your move Brad.

Brad’s glaring weakness. In game adjustments

Was hoping he would hire an assistant coach who could help. Still waiting……

 

[illinitiger]

We have very little motion in our half court offense...we are turnover machines

 

[GallopingGhost]

As bad as it looks right now, I’m gonna watch all stinkin 40 minutes

 

[Ramrod2010]

Welp, freshmen time

 

[SouthFarmLlama]

Goode in. ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATE BRAD!!

 

[IlliniInCAN]

Playing our worst basketball at the most important time of year. Really disappointing.

 

[LFOD]

I guess this is the game we expected and dreaded after the Chattanooga game.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We’ve imploded. Completely.

I’m more bummed out than anything. This program deserves better than 0 Sweet 16’s in 18 years.

 

[GrayGhost77]

Lmao. Bet you loved missing the end of the Arizona game in 05.

To be fair, this not anything close to that team.

 

[samj_17]

Put the ball in the hoop

 

[Epsilon]

Wait. How is that a Houston ball?

 

[ILikeCoffeeMugs]

Just try to get it down by single digits come half-time. If not, then single digits in the 2nd half by the five minute mark.

brings out rosary, folds hands

 

[schnaurt]

Is Grandison still hurt

 

[BBIQ]

Let’s throw it to our center in the corner. What are we doing?

Should have called a TO to bail him out there.

 

[PassingBy]

Two freshmen on the floor

Good

 

[Thaillini22]

shooting!

 

[Illini8420]

Yeah put all the freshmen in. I don’t care if we lose at this point. Play guys who deserve to be out there

 

[sdfidaho]

Can the Illini score 20 by half?
