Game Thread: Illinois vs IUPUI

[WestIllini]

This is absolutely pathetic

 

[Trakis]

This is pissing me off. We're clearly a better team than them, but they just have all the energy.

 

[TownieMatt]

Finke needs to get it together.

 

[IlliniMed]

Knew it as soon as you put that line up in... you dont have the offensive punch you need nor the quick feet.

 

[Sizzler22]

Finke the worst defender on this team, make him put it on the deck....

 

[Illininer]

Finke and Morgan should not be on the floor at the same time.

Finke is absolutely allergic to playing defense.

 

[illynifan34]

When will guys stop having career nights against us?

 

[geneseo]

Maverick may be the worst rebounder I've ever seen for someone his size...

One rebound.

 

[illiniknight]

Finke and Morgan should not be on the floor at the same time.

Finke is absolutely allergic to playing defense.

He is also allergic to offense right now.

I know people are upset at the score, but really this has come down to IUPUI knocking down a couple of (open) NBA range threes and us missing a couple of open threes. That goes the other way and its a 10 point game.

 

[Whitman2020]

Finke could use some pine I mean perspective.

 

[OptimistOrange]

Would rather see Leron and DJW on the floor than Finke and MM. Would bring more energy and offense & couldn't do worse on the boards

 

[drumanimal]

Why is Leron Black still on the Bench???

 

[IceIceBaby]

so where has black been? foul trouble?

 

[illinifan1961]

This team
Can't play defense. NIT at best.

 

[Illini1221]

Finke is the worst defender ive ever seen on Illinois. Literally.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

so where has black been? foul trouble?

3 fouls.

Jeez talk about a short memory. We gave up 46 points literally 3 days ago.

 

[Illinijose]

Like Finke but when he doesn't hit his shots we lose a lot of athleticism on the floor.

 

[STLIlliniMike]

The game is pretty slow and back and forth. The crowd will get into it as the game winds down but this style of game doesn't really lend itself to the crowd being that involved.

 

[GoIllini40]

John Groce just has no clue how to coach a defense. Illinois has to lead the country in 3's given up.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

The game is pretty slow and back and forth. The crowd will get into it as the game winds down but this style of game doesn't really lend itself to the crowd being that involved.

We're on pace for 155-160 points.

 

[OptimistOrange]

We are so much better with Black on the floor!
