Game Thread: Illinois vs Houston

[AssemblyHallForever]

We have to play smarter in the second half.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Let’s just give our best defender his second foul for no reason !!!!!!!

 

[Illini John]

Stupidest end of half all year. And that's saying something.

 

[Rap47]

Dumbest coaching job I have seen if they are going to give fouls bring a a sub who never plays. I support Underwood but he should know better.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Not a great end of the half. Bad bad bad shot by Mirk, Wagler forced the shot and got blocked, then Flemings buries a three. The lead should be more.

 

[Juju]

Yuck. That is all.

 

[Clngpl94]

Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite us...

 

[Illini_Jack]

No team is better at giving up leads than this year's Illini

 

[Deep]

WTF was that.
Again....poor execution before half/end of game

 

[so illini]

Yuck

 

[DeeIL89]

What a terrible finish to the half. Cmon!

 

[gary?]

well, penn hit a 3 before half in the first round and we won that one. . .

 

[TonyClifton]

Having Boswell commit 2nd foul was not a good idea. Brain trust messed this one up.

 

[Mistakenj]

I feel like this was Brad trying to show he’s some Xs and Os coach….our defense had been fine and he does this crap? Couldn’t have gone any worse

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Petrovic? Lee? Fagbemi? Redd? They ALL have 5 fouls they can give.....

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

We're really trusting Bam not to pick up any cheapies early in the second half. Kind of makes my twitch, honestly.

 

[BTM33]

Obviously dont love how the half ended...but...

That was a PHENOMENAL defensive gameplan and execution.

However...the game will be decided by who adjusts better in the 2nd half...

 

[TrahNeb]

Completely over thought it

 

[AugustWest]

This favors Houston I’m afraid

 

[FromTheLogo]

Dear Keaton,

Please dish on those drives. Keep shooting threes.

Sincerely,
The Lead

 

[Crossbow]

Well, that didn't turn out well

 

[jmm]

They have to tell Tomi that’s coming

Agree someone needs to be yelling that!!

 

[Butters]

That was one of the worst executed defensive last possessions I've ever seen. Kylan AND Ben get their second fouls, and we give up an open 3 from the top of the key. Horrible

 

[Retro62]

Should’ve just played it straight up for the last 11. The missed foul on Keaton is aggravating.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

Can’t get out coached. That sequence is going to be in our heads. Gave Houston all the momentum. Gave bos a second foul. Utter stupidity.
