Game Thread: Illinois vs Kentucky

[TheodoreRex]

Our offense when people play even decent defense against us just turns into garbage 1 on 1 fade away 3's. We are so so so soft when things get hard.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Game over

 

[Gbop]

And just that quick, the game is over.

 

[NASchamp]

We’re imploding. Looks like the bad Illini team showed up today. This is just embarrassing.

 

[IlliniSon]

We’re getting run off the damn court. Just a terrible performance. Riley looks lost!

 

[Fighting I 95]

We gonna get beat by 30 just like last year. The most inconsistent team ive ever seen

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Switched into my orange Flyin’ Illini jersey for hopefully some good luck … since we so obviously should have worn that uniform today.

 

[Trueblue777]

Brad is incapable of making adjustments

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

My goodness the UConn flashbacks are inevitable. It's 10-0 right now. Now this better not swell.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Great adjustments.

 

[CV Illini]

We are pathetically weak. No fire…..no energy. Deserve the L.

 

[BTM33]

Opposite of what you needed.

Gotta play like its your last one... cuz it might be.

 

[BBIQ]

Why do Underwood teams always have these 3 things in common? Too many turnovers, low IQ, can't run an out of bounds play if their life depended on it? Not to mention another coach has his team come out of half red hot and we look like a deer in headlights.

 

[ILL21]

Mark Pope and his staff doing more with less…
We are playing with no heart and no intelligence.

 

[Peteronthespot]

I would full court press to inject some energy in this team.

 

[Grandpa]

Nice halftime adjustments

 

[ILLFAN67]

And the worst start imaginable to a 2nd half in an NCAA tournament game you can imagine.

 

[jrum48]

BU and staff are horrible at coaching, they may recruit or tell the accountant who gets the money (then there’s CB and BH).

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Right now motivated 7 year olds would be on an 8-0 run against us the way we came out of half

 

[Coop70]

We come out doing the exact same thing we did to start the game.

This could get ugly

Already is.

 

[FormerIllini]

Soft !!! players today

 

[moonpies88]

Is this analytic basketball?

 

[Illinifinn]

Everyone can say what they want but Underwood is consistently the problem. We get outcoached every game we are in. We underperform every year. Apparently reaching the elite 8 is some crazy good thing now because that’s all he has to lean on. And even then we got embarrassed in that game by Uconn

 

[RML]

So, will we now lose all confidence and get blown out, or stiffen up and fight our way back?

 

[Illini8420]

We’re done. We made no adjustments and resorted back to our bad early first half ways
