Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[The Galloping Ghost]

Shannon needs to attack

It's so much harder to attack after a made shot. And they are all made shots. TSJ is best in the open court, pushing after a rebound.

Edit: The side out. Man, this is getting bleak.

Oh boy...

Hockey line change may just be what this team needs to get things going.

LOVE THIS SUB

21 of our 37 shots are from 3.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

This is not going to end well

 

[Kingo24]

I can't remember ever seeing a team this poor defending the out of bounds plays. It is wild.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I’m starting to think the poor play lately isn’t an aberration.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The 3-ball diff is the only reason we have the lead in this one…

Agreed. That said, if you're going to the basket and get fouls, 1)it's sustainable, 2)you create foul trouble and 3)it pays dividends late.

 

[Battle89]

They are "pretenders," indeed. I actually told me wife that Iowa will get a basket here, which will very well may spearhead a 2nd half run. It's so just dam predictable now; it's becoming a joke.

You mentioned a second half run? Bingo.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Four fouls already, Iowa going to kill us at FT line in 2nd half

Not a recipe for winning ...

People let us shoot 3's because we are just a mediocre 3 point shooting team..

Thank God for the bench. Like this move

 

[Champaign88]

Brad is giving Hawkins the BUSINESS on the bench.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Lucky we didn't turn it over there.

 

[Dragons89]

Perkins had to be salivating for this game and the high ball screen! Especially after last year.

BU making a statement…

 

[BashCtIllini]

wtf, Moretti we're playing basketball not pinball.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

BU making a statement…

I agree, but do you know what's bothersome? He has to make a statement, this late in the year, with a team full of seniors. The point of bringing those guys in is to avoid exactly this.

 

[InDaAZ]

Dain’s per-40 numbers are insane…

 

[Illiniking]

Moretti getting murdered in paint

 

[abchew2]

Kind of sickening having to make this kind of statement in almost March
