Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[DB11Headband]

Ben Humrichous and Jake Davis being on the floor at the same time is comical.

Tomi is bad at defense.

 

[JKR]

Tomi deserves a career night. Dude drove himself to Wisconsin.

Fletch drove him.

Mam it is blatantly obvious that we lost a 13 pt. lead by firing quick 27 foot jumpers from Boswell and Dra. Can anyone explain why?

No...that lineup can't guard or rebound. So missed shots become a track meet. Voila....9-0 run.

Not a good look. Defensively, it’s a sin

Was that our Illini F Yeah girl??

Get a shot at the rim next please! This is how we go on long scoreless streaks!

 

[PopChampaign]

Guys got the message and came out fired up, doesn’t matter if they don’t continue to play that way though. Starting to see our offense slow a bit and hoping we don’t start settling for 3s and revert back

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Ivisic way too important to this team...

 

[FloridaMan]

Well, when you start Riley, you lose your bench. This is the result.

Disagree. You don't bring in Jake, Ben, and Dra all at the same time. Asinine rotations.

I’m not a real fancy, sharp dressed man myself…but Fran looks like he might of bought that pullover at a truck stop on the way to the game.

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

Dra was as the shot clock expired.

Wonder if Brad is aware that the softest team in the B1G is hammering us on the boards.

That's what I was thinking

 

[azillini1]

We were doing really well getting the ball into the paint and for the past few minutes we have reverted to shooting 3's... 2 for 10 from long range. Does BU have any control over this team? Do we shoot 30 3's again and hit 20% for the game.

For those who have gone to the games, what exactly is the fan competition they do during the 2nd timeout? They've shown it coming back from break the last couple of home games. I know it's a similar to a tug of war type game but was just curious as to what it is.

They tie a bungy cord to both participants, face them away from each other and they each have to try and pull the other one to some cash on the floor.

Dra was as the shot clock expired.

Hot potatoed him the ball with 3 seconds on the clock. KB chucked it however.

Lol... Ok... Yes, the problem with that 9-0 run was us starting Will. I mean, there's a much simpler explanation here I think...

 

[FloridaMan]

Pathetic. Come out strong, !!!! sub patterns, then totally let down. Will be a dogfight now.

 

[Bigtex]

2-11

 

[Jon]

Can't suck at shooting and not rebound

 

[BlueLeader]

Every time we get an open 3 and launch the body language is "oh god I have to shoot this"
