Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[WhiteHorseWings]

Good minutes by Amani, notwithstanding the unwise 3

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Accidentally woke up the kids from their nap after that QG jam!

Worth it ... Lol ...

Words cannot due justice to the bonehead plays we show at times.

I remember following the Missouri game, in a post game thread of complete jubilation, there was one poster who lamented the fact that we gave up 49 second half points and got lambasted for it. We owe that poster an apology, because man, they saw the writing on the wall.

Wonder if it's an intentional plan for Shannon to save the downhill freight train for the 2nd half.

It’s hard to get the downhill freight train when the other team scores every play.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Shannon can't get the last shot of the half, then we lose track of where guys are at under the glass.

Losing plays. The sad part is that I'm not surprised

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.

 

[Dragons89]

Clock froze at 0.5

I agree.

 

[mikeyo]

The entire half.. We look like trash

 

[Ryllini]

With everything that has been this season, I just keep telling myself this is going to be a great doc. Maybe not 30 for 30, but it is going to have a good outcome and great cinema

 

[Illinifan33]

Why are we going over on the pick roll when they are 15 feet behind the line! Terrible defense against the pick n roll.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

why would you even jump to try and intercept that pass when all you have to do is wait for the ball?!?!?

 

[kyillinifan]

Putting someone on the out of bounce man was a mistake. I assumed they thought 1sec nope. Lucky no foul on that play.

 

[SuperMetroid]

I can always count on Illinois sports to come up with the dumbest ways to screw up. That’s “fumbling the kickoff into an opposing team touchdown” level stupid

 

[madillini4]

Can we give Iowa credit for making some tough shots? Our defense hasn't been horrible. Many of the shots they've taken have been contested.

 

[pruman91]

WTF.....Can't even defend a full court pass with only 1 second left..........?????????????????????????????

I give up with trying to figure out the ability of the beloived at the end of a half or even the end of a game......

TSJ fumbles the ball and we give that last basket up !!!!

smh.......................

 

[illinipimp]

Note to Brad put a 6-10 guy in front of the inbound passer with a second and a half left.

 

[bleedorange and blue]

So what's Iowa rated?

 

[GallopingGhost]

I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seemed like Iowa was making a lot of contested long jumpers. We aren’t giving up a ton at the rim or a ton of 3’s. Sooooo is Iowa just lucky? Or are we still bad at defense

 

[azillini1]

We are winning on the boards and shooting 49%. You would think we would have a comfortable lead, but we let Iowa shoot 62% from the floor. I have no words...

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

Brad may never come back out of the tunnel after that

Incoming...

 

[80'sIllini]

We look so average. Can't stop them at all. What a surprise we didn't get off a good shot with the supposed last possession and then to add insult to injury, gave up that basket to end the half.

 

[WeWillWhen]

The clock seemed to pause at 0.5. WTF?

 

[pruman91]

AH had a great run so Brad took him out. It’s what we do.

Amani was tugging his shorts wanting to come out .....c'mon bro...................
