Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[blmillini]

How can Mav look so smooth on offense and look like he has cement shoes on defense?

 

[FeelYourPaign]

The growing juggernaut that is the northwestern Wildcats. ..
Ouch

JCL has to learn how not to give up the and 1. Either let him go or hack him.

Go back and watch the first possession of the game. Mav made three nice defensive plays (bringing him to seven on the season).

Is anyone charting the score when Tate and Tracy are on the floor?

 

[TruIllini89]

MH please pass the ball, one time

 

[blmillini]

Why do we do that?

 

[JudsonFTS]

Pass the ball Malc.

 

[illiniCA]

If we are going to drain the clock Lucas needs to be the guy with the ball

We are -30 when they are on the floor together. +43 when they are not. I just made that up, but seems about right. :thumb:

Malcolm got his man in the air, I don't get why he doesn't get rewarded with the foul call.

 

[Adnarel]

I hate it when Hill does that. Don't go for an Oscar, just play basketball.

 

[Sizzler22]

Tired of Hill and his jumping into the defense to get a foul call. Tired of the slow down the clock, run the offense through TJL.

 

[CoalCity]

Not a single.touch for Lucas in that terrible possession that ended with Malcolm not getting the call. He's not gonna get that call any more. Time to put that move into retirement.

 

[LurkLongandProsper]

Groce goes to this prevent offense every time we have a decent lead with ~5 to go, and every time we give up a run because we get horrible shots.

 

[Deleted member 9739]

Our decision making on the floor is pathetic.

 

[illiniknight]

Why do we do that?

Don't know. Hill is not a beat you one on one player. I don't like the running down the clock with this much time left. It usually leads to a bad shot.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Finke!
Finke!
Finke!

I don't want any player on any team at any level getting rewarded for that junk. Not even a legitimate effort to get a field goal attempt.

 

[CoalCity]

That was an absolutely terrible possession. The only good thing about it was that 30 seconds came off the clock.

+1. As much as I want the Illini to win it is good not to see that called. That shouldn't be called for anybody.

Combined with the worst passing skills Ive ever seen from an Illini team.

His defender bit on the pump fake. What is illegitimate about that? They call that all day at the next level.

It's pretty ridiculous, but he is very good at it
