Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[201154JC]

The body language of our guys on the floor says it all. They've checked out for the night.

Seems to be the case. Hadn't seen that before now.

You maybe right but in 2 years we have only seen a 5 game stretch of good winning basketball. 20 point beat down on senior night doesn't help pp jump on board. So I believe reason to raise an eyebrow.

No . . . Hot team (IU) on the bubble fighting for their tournament lives, versus a young team that is not hot . . . at all, and are getting hosed by the zebras

Bardo is the worst announcer around. He tries so hard to not be pro-Illini that he's always pro-(insert opponent)

Lots of problems tonight. Bardo not one of them.

Okay, enough about the refs, seriously....we could have gotten every call and still be down by 10.

"Bardo sucks!" "The refs are hosing us!"


No, we just suck tonight. Bad.

I could’ve gone all night without seeing that image.

Illinois caught them at their peak.

More accurate to say that we are the whipping boy that lets teams play their best.

Does anybody know why Samba hasn’t gotten a little more tick this season? The little we have seen of him this year he has showed some promise!

 

[Deleted member 746317]

That's enough of that. Take Kane out and put ADR back in .../s

Kane looks like he's just bursting with energy, while ADLR just hasn't looked physically capable for the last several games. Don't understand why we don't see more of Kane

 

[skyIdub]

Yes!!! Rolling inbounds passes will save us!

 

[YankeeIllini]

ADLR is the most unstable 7' center Ive ever seen.

Until you’ve gone thru an ACL reconstruction, you likely wouldn’t understand. He’s done what he could all season long, despite trying to come back from a horrible injury. Expecting anything more than what he’s given is simply unrealistic.

TF has been awful the last few games.

 

[YankeeIllini]

How was that not going over the back from Langford?

 

[Halloweenie]

No excuses next year if kofi shows up and ayo is back...this is getting old...alma otters indeed

 

[Jules]

We need more announcers like Deon Thomas! He should take Bardos place!

Yeah, I get it. I'm starting to fall into the camp of "I wish all those minutes went to Samba" at this point.

. Agree..but Brad does not have to play him

have to believe he’s just not that good... yet. Hopefully he bulks up and improves. Lawd knows we need the size.

 

[YankeeIllini]

This is most of the fairweather a$$&&& posters here tonight

 

[CasualObserver05]

Maybe Feliz can try and force one into 3 guys just one more time, it's gotta work at some point right?!

Just saw the new look. Put a top hat on Whitman and we've got our mascot.

Agree with this post and, except for the dumb fouls the last couple of games, I've really liked ADLR's effort ...

That said, except for a few games probably a month ago when he looked like he had a "lucid body" interval, ADLR has looked vulnerable and to be as much trouble as benefit all year. It seems BU looks as at ADLR with different glasses than I have on.

 

[Hope4better]

When the other teams is shooting 15 more shots than you are you’re gonna lose pretty much every time. Getting pounded on the boards and they are shooting layups

 

[dbeverly26]

System? Coaching? If you know of a game plan that can produce results with this type of effort and execution, you’re wasting your talents by posting on a message board.

 

[Steelyunk]

In case you’ve forgotten in last 6 weeks - this is the furious comeback that inevitably comes up short.

 

[Oldhickory]

Our "pressure" defense hasn't created much pressure lately. We aren't going to win many games giving up more turnovers than the other team, especially when they only have 6. Oh and we let them shoot over 50%. Maybe teams have figured out how to play against us
