Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[Hopingfor500]

We are not making them work hard enough on offense. We need to step up the D

The shots they've made have been very well contested. Good defense, better shot.

 

[BRucks]

2 team rebounds, both by Monte

We need to keep going inside to Kofi. Indiana has been giving obvious fouls. He will likely get their entire front court in foul trouble by the 10min mark if we keep this up

 

[skyIdub]

Calling the Kofi hacks early. Good sign.

Listening to Steve Bardo during an Illini game.

 

[TheGMan]

I think the key will be us making shots within 3 feet

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

We are missing too many bunnies

 

[aaeismacgychel]

wow... that was... wow...

 

[Illini_Jack]

Man, we got to finish

The Andre Curbelo experience

 

[CarsonHowe_9]

I think Brad is trying to push the pace

 

[spillini]

I am going to need therapy for the missed dunks of late

 

[hoopsfan47]

Love that move and shot by RJ...but need to make it.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That's 2 fouls on Thompson, 1 on TJD. Need to keep going inside

 

[Mr. Roberts]

At least the drought came early today.

The good news: We are getting plenty of open looks. They can't seem to force us into low percentage shots.

The bad news: We are missing a lot of high-percentage shots.

 

[BRucks]

What did they call?

 

[logjam]

I think Brad is trying to push the pace

We should be able to wear them down later in the game.

Different rotation with games closer together and trying to get everyone postseason experience.

 

[Illini_Jack]

These long droughts are going to cost us in the tourney

[Hopingfor500]

If we don't hit the three, our offense is a problem. Only buckets are the first two shots of the game (threes).

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

At least we are getting all our missed dunks out of the way the last two games.

 

[TonyRu85]

Getting a lot of really good looks. They will start falling

 

[sully]

9 straight missed field goals .
MAKE A BLEEPING BUCKET!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!
