Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Illiniam1984]

I was afraid this would happen where we would have a letdown. Apparently that is what’s happening.

 

[CentralILLini]

[Illini_Jack]

We gotta take advantage of these Iowa turnovers

 

[Ramrod2010]

It's like we don't want to take the lead.

 

[WyattEarp]

Yep…it’s becoming commonplace.

 

[…INI!]

[foby]

We have missed so many layups.

 

[cs04]

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Iowa rattled

Thank you staff for keeping Jake on ice

 

[Champaign88]

If we could just get the lead I feel like we will pull away.

 

[FoundersClub]

This is infuriating. Just doing everything wrong.

 

[madillini4]

Bad day to bring your D+ game. Only down 4. Find a f****** way.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Make a !!!!ing layup ffs

 

[JJE]

Our we just out gas? This is the worst we’ve looked in a couple weeks.

 

[Illinisnake]

We are playing horrible basketball, if you want to get into the final four this isn’t how you play

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Mirk needed to dump that to Tomi for an easy dunk…

 

[DeeIL89]

Come on! Make shots.

 

[KCBassin]

Mirk stays this bad I don't like our chances been horrible

 

[Da88]

We're playing awful

 

[CDRUSN]

Why are we playing so much isolation hero ball? Let's pass, find an open shooter, and make shots. Worked well against Houston. Also, Mirk needs to rebound some of those misses underneath instead of trying for an off balance tip in. We are still too tight and out of sync way too often.
