Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Kofi 3-7, team is 15% on threes. And we’re up by three. Time to make some shots and pull away.

Kofi misses more bunnies than any big I know I think in part he is afraid of the offensive foul

Hard to hit bunnies when you have 2-3 guys draped on you in what usually would be a foul

Valid point!!

We need some scoring out of Trent or Miller.

We have a disturbing trend to play down to the level of our competition for long stretches. I look for Brad to make the necessary half time adjustments, and for us to finish strong against a Hoosier team that clearly does not match up to us from a talent standpoint.

Hope you're right but this looks like at the wire finish.

 

[BDMAN]

This has been an ugly game just the way the Hoosiers want it.

 

[thehass]

Good grief.

 

[azillini1]

Ayo or Kofi need some touches

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Effort not where it needs to be right now.

 

[Retro62]

Seriously...what are we doing? This is just ugly

 

[BBlock24]

Ugly basketball.

Really tired of seeing us out hustled. Mizzou, now Indiana. Can't just show up and the other team lays down fellas. Grow up!

this is like the 5th game we’ve had to say that.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

We always play down to the level of our competition.

 

[Retro62]

I don’t know what it’s going to take to wake us up...we are continually getting out worked by less talented teams

Think the coaches might be able to do something about that?

Unwatchable 90’s NBA-style stuff

 

[thehass]

There are so many things we are doing wrong that it's hard to see any thing we are doing right.

 

[Retro62]

Think the coaches might be able to do something about that?

I honestly don’t know right now

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Even in weaponized form, we’re not gonna win many games when Damonte is the only guy with a made three.

 

[sharpshot16]

Ayo hasn't taken a shot this half. That's not good.

 

[LouHenson]

Well it is simply now Miller shoots he sits. Kofi or Ayo have to take shots with Jackson on the bench.

 

[illiram11]

2 wishes... 1. I wish the rest of the guys would have fire in their bellies on every play like Curbelo does. 2. I wish Kofi would dunk the ball over people. I'm not sure he understands his strength.

 

[azillini1]

Only DMW has hit a three today. We are 2 of 14

When our three point shooters get defenders in the air on shot fakes, they always avoid the contact instead of going up and taking the foul and three free throws. And it usually leads to a drive into traffic that goes no where. Drives me crazy.
