Game Thread: Illinois vs IUPUI

[STLIlliniMike]

We're on pace for 155-160 points.

I meant sloppy but regardless it's not an easy game to get into, nor will the reason we lose be decided by the crowd.

Do our players realize that losing this game is a nail in the coffin of our tourney chances? You can't lose at home to Winthrop and IUPUI and have much of a shot as a bubble team. This is so painful.

Half of loyalty could manage the subs for IL

well...are you all dreading this like I am?

This is horrible!! For a 5th year rebuild project this is pathetic!! Illini defense is a joke!!

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

3 AND 1!!! MH!!!!

 

[Trakis]

NICE MORE OF THAT PLEASE.

 

[IllinoisBall]

We got lucky on their missing layup

 

[SuperMetroid]

Wow. That missed bunny may literally keep our tourney hopes alive for another day

 

[OptimistOrange]

O'leary can't miss. Need to double to keep the ball away from him

 

[Jon]

that's why you chase down fast breaks! let's goooo

 

[whatahack]

Just need 5 minutes of solid ball......

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Can you believe that sequence?
Lose the ball, they miss the layup and we get a runout to MH for a 3 and a foul.
That's crazy

Not to get all nit-picky, but we played strong D. Contested bunnies don't fall as well as open bunnies.

Wow! Given the comments it sounds like we're still down about 10.

Please tell me that's not it...
