Game Thread: Illinois vs Houston

[Illinifan533]

This game just has no rhythm right now. As for FTs, Illini only 3-7 right now

 

[WyattEarp]

Make your free throws from here on out like your momma’s life depends on it; please.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Make your flippin free throws. Miss out on 2 points again and then let them get into their offensive flow immediately. Big swing.

 

[Deep]

Can we hit a F'ing free throw!!!!!!

 

[SilverTurbo]

Free throws! Especially the front end!

 

[Ats123]

Refs are calling more fouls now, we need to get drej super involved, and everyone needs to get downhill

 

[logjam]

Don't get flat boys be offensive...

 

[jumpingjack]

Please get Z in for rim protection.

This. He is far more effective right now against the shots they are actually hunting.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Houston can play fast but they aren't used to it. So I get why we are burning clock.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Everyone here.....back away from the TV, go to the bathroom and take a breath. Thank God you aren't coaches.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

3-7 on FTs with two of them being 1 and 1s.

FTs have cost us quite a few games despite that lucrative percentage.

 

[punchabove33]

3/7 free throws ... ouch.. and missing the front end of 1 and 1... Essentially a turnover.

 

[jmm]

This possession is going to last a full minute and now Wagler is getting free throws.

And missed. Is that 5 missed free throws for him?

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Critical next few minutes here. It feels like we have let them back in the game and given them a chance to make a run. We can't let that happen.

 

[Illinicpa14]

8 minutes to become legends

 

[CDRUSN]

Foot, time to meet gas peddle again. Do not let them get back in, and how about we start making some free throws. Currently shooting under 50% at the line, that needs to pick up and we should be fine.

 

[Orange Wave]

3-7 on FTs with two of them being 1 and 1s.

FTs have cost us quite a few games despite that lucrative percentage.

The little things!!

 

[CV Illini]

94.8% win probability on espn. Kiss of death.

 

[IceCuban]

No problem with forcing 10-15 ft fade aways over our 7 fters, but we gotta trade baskets

 

[Troop44]

We got a break on that blocking call. Looked like a charge to me

 

[stlrunner]

Please, for the love of god, start making FTs…

 

[RockfordIllini]

Houston on a 9-2 run. Really need both of these free throws.

 

[fantasydaily708]

We gotta win these next 4 minutes keep the lead at double digits. The free throws are killing us

 

[Miles Leonard]

Falling back into some bad habits here

 

[Juju]

PLEASE make these free throws. And LOCK. THE HELL. DOWN. I don't wanna watch the movie where we give up a near-20 point lead halfway thru the 2nd half and go to OT and lose. PLEASE, STEP ON THEIR THROATS!!
