Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[AnnaMay]

These guys act like they are afraid to foul anyone hard. Hell, they don't even put a body on someone to rebound. Every rebound we have got has fallen into our lap.

humrichous and kylan are nothing but momentum killers

 

[ginabackes00]

Our guards are not good at boxing out

 

[Zorak]

Why can't it ever be easy for these guys

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

Just feed Tomi

 

[aveseaboy]

Tre doesn’t move with his guy then fouls from behind

 

[Illini John]

Start the game by going inside, making baskets and building a big lead. Then start taking stupid threes, don't get back on defense and let Iowa back in the game. I am so sick of this.

 

[Grange Grover]

Please god let Tomi come back here next year

 

[DICKnaggie]

Just feed Tomi

Just keep targeting paint shots. Stop giving them up or play inside out!

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

F—c-ing go to Tomi in the lane every single time until it doesn’t work anymore! It is not rocket science!

 

[CleverHandle1]

They exerted a lot early on, built a lead, gave up lead with pathetic rotation and now tired.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Hamer has a good plan going tonight!

 

[thehass]

We are currently in our 1 step forward and 2 steps backward mode. Hard to believe this is the same team we had such high hopes for.

 

[hoopsfan47]

After a good start, our guys have reverted to grade school level play. Just low efficiency basketball played by high level athletes. So sad

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

Our defensive scheme is so bad

 

[aaeismacgychel]

What's the over/under on how many minutes Rodgers would be playing per game right now?

I'd put it at 26. But in reality Ty is playing at least 30mpg on this team.

 

[FloridaMan]

No way that's a charge. Just comical.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

That is an unbelievable call from that effing imbecile high knees.

 

[illinifreak30]

High knees horrible call

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

High knees...

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

Tomi is bad at defense.

Tomi is so bad on defense.

 

[TampaToo]

Illini defense is indefensible!

The difference is that Boswell was legit good at the beginning of the year. Humrichous has been a letdown from day one.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Will gotta get the ball in the middle on the break! Ugh

 

[DICKnaggie]

Our defensive scheme is so bad

And our offense is so easy to defend. No movement below the free throw line.
