Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Illini in Indiana]

Man I wish we would have has Sencire this year. Last year he would have sparked the whole team during times like this. Maybe some DGL?

 

[abchew2]

Not convinced it will do a thing either

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

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

No no according to Brad we are a great shooting team and should shoot 40.

wtf, Moretti we're playing basketball not pinball.

Looked like he got fouled twice during that sewuence

wtf, Moretti we're playing basketball not pinball.

Hard to complain when he's a deep deep bench player. Overall he's played pretty solid on both ends of the floor all things considered

 

[HailtotheChief]

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

Well if your running 5ft behind the guy your guarding on a screen that's a problem.

Dain’s per-40 numbers are insane…

Everyone thinks DD deserves more pt, except BU

 

[Yes33]

I love (or hate) how Fran threw a full court press on us when the young experienced guys came in. That’s in game coaching even though I can’t stand Fran.

wtf, Moretti we're playing basketball not pinball.

At least he’s trying to create some sort of offense.

Moretti getting murdered in paint

Are we surprised ? Lol ...

 

[fatboyslim]

Not a foul

 

[Dragons89]

Is this an Iowa home game?

 

[TonyClifton]

Can we at least get Terrance back in for Nico?

 

[Ryllini]

I'd like to see DGL over Nico if this is the route

 

[stlrunner]

Weirdly…somehow the subs have looked better. Which is sad.

 

[Miles Leonard]

I'll give it to this group. They are competing at the very least.

 

[genxrex]

Chicken wing ain't a foul anymore?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Weirdly…somehow the subs have looked better. Which is sad.

It's desire, focus and effort. In a nutshell....that's successful defense.

 

[Yes33]

Maybe we should consider a zone that we are no good at and don’t have time to learn / practice. It can’t be any worse than the OLE defense that we practice and play every day!

 

[NarrowJ]

What do we want to happen if this group has no energy, won't defend and just chucks threes?

 

[blueguy]

Anyone know why moretti came in ahead of DGL?

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

I'd like to see DGL over Nico if this is the route

All DGL does is chuck bad shots ...

And his body language today is awful ...

He can stay right where he is at IMO ...

 

[InDaAZ]

Second teamers receive a well-deserved cheer from the crowd..

 

[LoveLovie]

Lmao Hawkins with a bailout and he hit..I would be mad if I was Iowa

 

[TheodoreRex]

Weirdly…somehow the subs have looked better. Which is sad.

defensively, they were 100% better
