Game Thread: Illinois vs Loyola Chicago

[WhiteRhino]

I'm feeling physically ill right now. I hate that this is how such an incredible season could end.

This is how I felt during the Arizona game in 2005 before the amazing comeback. Let's hope we can see something like that again.

We are done.. should be an and 1.. we can't even make a two... point blank

 

[spillini]

run that set the rest of the game

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Missing FTs and chippies is not helping

After seeing the Illini play elite defense for a month...it is so disappointing to see it disappear when it was needed most and the whole world knew it. Loyola is killing us with a far superior defensive plan and effort.

 

[tyrannosaurus scorus]

welp, here's to hoping Loyola continue to do well if the Illini lose today (which is looking likely)

Not good y’all. Need to have it to a 5-6 point game soon

Loyala running the same action over and over again. This is insane. We're playing their game. Either put together some kills soon or this is over.

Terrible call. Scirotto is THE WORST and it is not close.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Bailing out their midget point guard 2 possessions now

 

[LeinieGuy]

Dumb foul Ayo

Ayo!!!!!!! Stop it!!!!! No time on shot clock!!!!!

 

[hoopsfan47]

Critical foul that likely seals a Loyola victory.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

This is ridiculous at this point. We are a better team. Start playing like it!

 

[hoopsfan47]

Krutwig is stopping Ayo penetration while a 6 footer switches to Kofi underneath....got see that and get it to him.

Not sure that is true. Illini doing nothing better than the Ramblers in anything.

 

[WizardBill]

You call THAT on Kofi??????

 

[illinitiger]

Bad touch call on kofi

 

[JAbada]

Take Curbelo out

Exactly. That was working at the end of the first half and is available now.

 

[BWBW]

Gut check time.

 

[DB11Headband]

Hey Brad, how bout some press to speed up the game?

 

[freebird6]

8 at 8 .....still in it. Time to make the run and seal the deal. My brother ran cross country at Loyola.....more reason to root against.

Coming back from 49-36 against a team like Loyola would be an epic comeback. Lets see if they got it in them
