Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

I honestly don’t know right now

Maybe instead of smart-aleck post game comments about letting Penn St score 82 against you, demanding harder play on the defensive end would be a great start.

We need to make a move now

 

[Deleted member 747802]

This is what happens when you come out and let a team get confidence instead of taking it to them from the tip. We never learn. That is in large part coaching in my opinion.

 

[ohioillini77]

Frazier has to stop shooting 3s

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Lmao. Giorgi wide open and makes them pay.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Is the moment we finally wake up?

 

[Deleted member 747277]

Kofi seems like he’s shuffling his feet on every dime he gets.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Brad is not enjoying the proceedings thus far

 

[SuperMetroid]

Weaponized Georgi?

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

That looks like first-year Underwood screaming in the timeout.

I’m sorry...who are you talking about? You mean the coaches...or me...or someone else on the board? I know I never posted anything like that, so I’m confused by your vitriol

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

TF has digressed each year. Its time to make a lineup change.

 

[BDMAN]

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

That is the weakness of this team we are still not a good shooting team Miler was supposed to be an asset there but he struglling to get his shoot off against BIG competition

Yes definitely the coaches. Underwood basically tried to roast a reporter who asked about giving up that many points to Penn St. saying something like "what do you want us to do stop taking and making shots?" Definitely not aimed at you, sorry if it sounded that way.

Miller really needs to come off the bench at this point also. He is a freshman so it is totally understandable, but he gets beat on defense and is not taking good open shots. He takes a three anytime thinking that is his role. He needs to take the kind of shots DMW takes. Curbello also gets beat on defense, but he provides so much for everyone else it is worth it. With Miller the return is just not there yet.

It's a time-honored challenge for college teams: learn to play smothering defense early on or lose winnable conference games early in the slate. We're the rule, not the exception, though that's of little comfort.

 

[hoopsfan47]

This says it all....Frazier, MIller and Grandison......zero field goals in 13 attempts.

Good, he needs to as we are stinking up the joint.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Great pass by GB

 

[skyIdub]

LET'S F#$%ING GO!!!

 

[azillini1]

Finally, Kofi and Ayo get some shots

 

[Miles Leonard]

BU got after Kofi and the big man's responded on both ends.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Good timeout Brad. Whatever was said helped.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Let’s GOoOOoo!!
