Game Thread: Illinois vs Kentucky

[ILLjuice]

Borderline Top 25 to start the year, and end the year. We are who they thought we were.

Would be nice to see some improvement throughout the season

 

[BBlock24]

Pope had his team watching tape and scouting our tendencies. Illinois…not so much it seems.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Boswell gets us back on the game and then go to Will n KJ for 3s. That guy moves well abd has blocked Will shots a couple times and made others tough.

We first need to stop them on offense.

 

[TyroneHogglegg]

Brad must have really given a hum-dinger of a motivational talk.

 

[Grandpa]

Nice timeout play

 

[PNWIllini]

We are who we thought

 

[krushalot2005]

Tyler and Hamer for sure need to be gone if they actually draw this up, no nepotism and clearly Hamer is doing some data mining on the stats to “trust the advanced metrics”

 

[ginabackes00]

Kentucky isn't this good. We're just bad right now

 

[altgeld88]

We are young and easily rattled except for Kylan and Tre. They are not. And they play D. That’s the difference.

 

[blife]

we absolutely refuse to stop the ball when we are getting back. Why? How does this continue to happen

 

[Illiniguy13]

There’s that great timeout play!

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Just a pathetic effort

 

[SemperFiIllini]

Good thing all we want is to make the tourney and win 1 game....

 

[DeeIL89]

We are our guys acting like Kentucky's front court consists of Reese and Queen? Embarassing out there.

 

[OB positive]

Were back to letting them come around ball screens unhindered, no hedge or help. That's a recipe for disaster, even Charles knows that. Don't show up ready too play with a good game plan get ready to go home.

 

[azillini1]

Has Texas signed their new coach yet?

 

[HailtotheChief]

Brad..Let Kylan have the ball. Not Will running things!

 

[IlliniSon]

Another TURN OVER!!!

 

[FloridaMan]

Where is the foul that was called on us twice in the first half on Tre's layup? Total joke

 

[Oracle21]

Last year gave up a 30-0 run to UConn in 2nd half. Today it’s 14-2

 

[LuckyIllini]

Fire Hamer & Tyler Underwood. Both are out of there league

 

[ILLFAN67]

The old blame it on Brad crowd is back. This team is young and at times panics and folds. They are also not as strong because they are young.

 

[WyattEarp]

Here go… let the drubbing begin…I guess?

 

[Rich]

Very frustrated at lack of adjustments. Yelling and screaming at players to do better isn't an adjustment.

 

[gary?]

one of these days i will learn that the team you watch most of the season is the team. they don’t suddenly become the team you wish for
