Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[WeWillWhen]

Getting taken to the woodshed.

This looks like a varsity squad vs. a JV team.

Indiana shooting 68%. Illinois at 24.

 

[azillini1]

Just man-handling us in the paint.

 

[Scoregasm]

Is the team collectively on the take?

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Indiana shooting 68%.

They should be with the looks they are getting.

 

[D1959]

No excuse for coming out this flat

 

[Retro62]

Worst we have played since Mizzou…we are getting rolled

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

So far in the games we'd expect to be kinda hyped for.. team has been completely flat

 

[Clngpl94]

OMG.. shut up Bardo...

 

[illiniguy24]

Team is a bunch of front runners. No fight or heart when we get punched in the mouth first. Just incredibly frustrating

 

[Illini8420]

Good post players destroy us

 

[spillini]

Just tuning in.

Down two starters IU looks pretty good. They look much quicker and have the best two players on the court so far. However, I expect the D to ramp up in the 2nd half and I’ve seen IU crumble many times in 2nd halves. Fingers crossed.

I wish I shared your optimism. The problem I have with that optimism is that Trace Jackson-Davis is doing whatever he wants out there, and we are showing no signs of doing anything to dissuade him. And he got plenty of rest while we did nothing to cut into the lead at all.

Our defensive game plan apparently is to watch while the Hoosiers run a layup line like a conveyor belt.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

We aren’t passing the ball at all and there is a lid on the bucket. Followed by a gamble on defense.

Looking very PSU game es que right now. IU trying to just punk us.

Mission accomplished.

I have to say... The Indiana gameplan is to go straight at CoHawk and it's working bigtime. We're going to have to give him some help and hope Indiana misses threes at this point as he just can't guard anyone inside tonight.

 

[New Creation]

We are lucky we aren't down 20+

19.

Looks like the guys really took Chester's disdain for Indiana to heart. This has been a very frustrating team at times.

 

[Chillinini]

Horrendous. Mizzou game re-lived.

 

[BBlock24]

Have to get it within 10 before half.

 

[thehass]

Is 14 points in 12 minutes good?

In football it is.

 

[Coop70]

Hawkins from 4 point territory.

Lol Epps missing an easy shot
