Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[FloorGeneral]

Mirk just needs to settle in. Needs to see one go in. Keep being the aggressor. Don't play for the whistle. It'll come if you go.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

1-8 from 3.

Iowa 6-12.

 

[Leelnd]

Missing layups. They are remain being physical and refs not calling it.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

If Mirk could make a layup we'd be up 4. Boz is awful today, thank God for Wagler and Drej.

 

[Keene-4-3]

Mirk looks like Jokic compared to Tomi. Non-existent big in the biggest game of the year. I've seen enough.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

We all know the thing that beats us is an off shooting night. Hello, darkness.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I knew it would be tough, but I didn’t expect us to be so off tonight.

 

[madcrazeeballa]

My god there is a lid on that thing. We’ve missed so many layups

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

The opportunities have been there, but we just haven't been quite able to capitalize yet. Gotta get over that hump.

 

[Illini2010-11]

Not sure how Iowa only has 8 fouls. Refs letting them play.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Freaking allergic to scoring when it’s a chance to tie

 

[New Creation]

Bam is just watching on Defense... Why are we such a horrible 1st team 50% of our games...

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Where the fuq is Tomi

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Everyone minus Dre is asleep

Z played pretty great for the minutes he was in.Tomi, Mirk, and Boz all struggling has been the issue.

 

[blife]

WT actual F&ck are we doing. Missing shots at the rim, hoursesh*t D. This game is there for the taking. We trying to go home

 

[Illini_Jack]

I need Mirk to step the f*ck up. This is to go to the Final Four.

 

[Illiniam1984]

This is becoming infuriating….

 

[LuckyIllini]

FOR !!!! SAKE BRAD GET TOMI OF THE !!!!ING GAME

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Need to hit our own shots to win. Run our offense, stay poised and let’s win.

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

Whelp... upside, we are playing pretty out of sync and flatfooted, and we are only down by 2ish. We usually come out in the second half playing better and more energized, so we can really put this away in the 2nd

 

[BBlock24]

Mirk has been awful. Boswell has been awful. Tomi has been awful. Can't have that if you want to win.

 

[Illinois_in_MD]

Cant hit a 3

Or a layup

 

[PapaKvells]

It looks like we’re playing better, we’re just cold and they’re just hot.

 

[BDMAN]

WTF is Tomi shoot 3's post you but down low

 

[cs04]

Did everyone stay out late partying or something? Just blech
