Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[NASchamp]

Oh my god these refs. Moving screen on TJD every possession and never called because he can do no wrong…

 

[skyIdub]

Matt Mayer is still in bed.

 

[Chillinini]

Time to turn on Netflix.

“There’s a lot of contact on that shot” - Bardo
“Was he vertical?” - Jason
“He was vertical, but Kopp did a good job of initiating that contact” - Bardo
Well, that’s not a foul on Shannon then Steve…

 

[KingWolf11]

Oh man TSJ needed to throw that up to RJ that could have got the crowd back in.

Dunks over free throws.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

If I’m expected to not swear on here, the FT shooting really needs to improve.

 

[New Creation]

6/13 FTA

 

[Coop70]

Sorry, but the refs arent missing our shots, throwing the ball away or missing free throws.

 

[FloridaMan]

When you come out flat and let an opponent, and specifically Jackson Davis, feel comfortable this is what happens. If we cannot figure out how to play with intensity for at least 30 - 35 minutes (especially beginning games) against every opponent, there will be a very quick, abrupt ending to this season in March.

 

[skyIdub]

Yeah...just keep guarding TJD one on one. FTLOG

 

[hoopsfan47]

What I see is one team in a hurry to score and missing FTs while the other is taking their time, seeing everything, and finishing. This game is likely finished now.

 

[New Creation]

DD has given up playing Defense

 

[D1959]

Can nobody else try to guard TJD dainja obviously can’t

 

[BBlock24]

Double team TJD and make someone else beat you. Jesus.

 

[Birdus]

Hawkins and Mayer non existent. Indiana in must win mode. Hard to believe they are 2-4. Hate to play them at full strength at their place.

 

[808Illini]

For the love of god adjust to how we’re defending Davis.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Why are we not helping on TJD??

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Are we waiting until we’re down 20+ to put somebody else on TJD, or?

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Not doubling TJD is absolutely ludicrous and criminal at this point. You have to at least try it

 

[Chad Fleck]

Hawkins needs to be ready to help on that back side when Davis makes his move.

 

[Deep]

Can someone explain what kind of defense we playing on TJD??

Why can't we double

 

[DB11Headband]

I’m no expert, but it’s probably time to double TJD

 

[bergd91]

Coleman leave you man quicker and help our Dian buddy. What are we doing?

 

[Retro62]

Davis is what…9 for 9 from the field? You think maybe you should try a new approach?

 

[Illini8420]

This is on Brad if we’re just not gonna double TJD the whole game. It’s already absurd at this point.
