Ayo getting schooled

Hey Jake. Stop just throwing passes hoping it’s open.

 

[spillini]

no zip on these passes even after giving 3 away

Ayo getting schooled

On both ends of the court

Well, I didn’t expect a start like this. Loyola is dominating.

Looks like coaching and desire beats talent. Might have to kick ball out when Kofi has 4 guys on him.

 

[illinipimp]

In a word TURNOVERS!

Sorry, this offense is easy to defend, switch everything 40’ from hoop, force a bad shot, or dump down to Kofi and swarm him. Pinch Post

The only thing that has changed among those predicting a 20 pt. win is that they are now all Loyola fans.

Tough to do anything when said 4 guys are hacking the **** out of you.

 

[Illini_Jack]

We gotta up the tempo and cut into this before halftime

 

[CubsWin]

This feels like one of our early season games. Turnovers, poor shooting, and missed free throws. Only we haven't had any free throws yet.

 

[Lexis20]

Is anyone playing well? So far, Underwood is getting schooled too. This is Loyola teaching Illinois how to play basketball.

Kofi is having a very bad game.

These internal passes are terrible. Has to be quick bounce or it’s gonna be a deflection or a steal

 

[logjam]

Going to be an interesting halftime speech.

 

[tyrannosaurus scorus]

awful awful awful

LOL at this guy that hasn't posted since Feb. 2.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Ayo dropping into 2nd round level here. Can’t create and can’t shoot 3’s. Not gonna be great for him

They’ve done a great job guarding him honestly . It’s not like he’s not trying

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Just keep it under 10 at the half.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Kofi needs to understand he has one second to get it up against this zone. Refs aren’t going to give a foul if you go up one on three and your arm gets bumped by one of the other six arms.

time to play more physical they aren’t calling much

 

[Deleted member 747756]

wtf

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Loyola would not have even been an 8-seed had they played the B1G’s schedule this year. Let’s slow our roll.

They’d be a 4-5 bc they’d have gotten lot more respect,

Score 1 for Kenpom so far. They nailed it

 

[hoopsfan47]

I am not worried as we have had several balls go in and out. We will get on track and get control of this game

Agree completely.....but in what season I don't know.
