Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[Illini1974Ever]

Curbelo the spark again. Love the hell out of this kid.

Kid has the 'It factor'!!

Grandy, AC and Giorgi in the game and the offense moves

Bardo sees how much better they are with Curbello on the floor.

He's so good, he only needs one "l" in his name!

 

[GallopingGhost]

Jeez. Our offense moved such more fluidly with Curbelo. But I feel like Frazier isn’t bad... he’s just made to look bad in comparison

Grandison great job moving his feet on defense there on the baseline and not fouling. Continue to like the effort from him.

Curbelo!

Indeed, typo that I can't edit because of forum rules. I should be more careful, but a GDT brings the worst out in my typos being posted.

I think Curbelo may be the one who could help Miller the most...you start getting the ball to him in prime position and he can take off.

Curbelo - Mr Magic!!!

 

[LIfan]

Let’s go Illinois!!

To be fair to the starting group, it’s a different story if Kofi makes even two of his two-footers (swarm defense on him, but still). It’s not like the offense was stagnant, just missed shots

JG is a glue guy. Does the little things. Made Hoosier step OOB instead of drawing a foul on him.

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Curbelo creating open shots for everyone

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Adam Miller is a bust at this point, until he gains some confidence and until he understands defense. His bball IQ may not be up to par yet. Curbelo is an all-around better ball player, and really should be starting. It's on the coaching to get this team to start faster. Come on coaches, make the adjustment.

Miller needs assists from D, C and Ki If he does not get them, can not really fault. AM

Should grandison be the ones shooting our outlet 3’s? Idk haha

What is Kofi doing under the basket on a defensive rebound? Go get the ball!

No, that would be Weaponized DMFW.

DMW shows his teammates how it's done from beyond the arc.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Nice runner from Ayo.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Why does every team shoot lights out against us? Defense needs A LOT of work.

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Good officiating so far. Only 4 fouls called.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

IU hitting everything. Doubt they can sustain this.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Playing at their pace so far

... they’re 40% from the floor. We just aren’t making anything at all.
