Game Thread: Illinois vs Loyola Chicago

Terrible foul call. Scirotto sucks big time

Actually I think that was the correct call. He missed an obvious push on Trent's missed layup

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Geez. We need to wake up.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Official no comfortable win today

Hope this game does not come down to free throws because right now we are as tight as I have seen since Ohio or Mizzou game.

 

[Chitownkid]

Missing dunks and being passive on jumpers. What the hell?

 

[Illini_Jack]

Call me concerned

 

[thehass]

Right now we can't hit our butt with both hands.

 

[jason88cubs]

This was the worst matchup for us

 

[illinijoejoe]

This is a loss unless Frazier and Miller hit shots. That is what they are giving up on doubling Kofi. Frazier has missed everything so far.

Loyola is playing like they have nothing to lose. Illini playing like they have everything to lose.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Someone needs to give Kofi some smelling salts.

 

[hoopsfan47]

We really needed to come out with intense defensive effort and that is totally missing. Add poor shooting and turnovers and this game could be a disaster if defense does not ramp up.

 

[sharpshot16]

Kofi looks slow.

 

[Deleted member 747756]

Got chances. Just not converting

 

[WizardBill]

That Krutwig has travelled a few times so far and not gotten called.

And, he’s not getting called on the Hack-A-Kofi, even once.

 

[GrayGhost77]

Drexel wasn't much of a warm-up. Haven't played a real tough game in a full week and it shows.

 

[WeWillWhen]

We need Angry Kofi

 

[orange100]

Take their best shot at the front end and outlast them down the stretch. Not gonna worry yet.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Loyola is playing like they have nothing to lose. Illini playing like they have everything to lose.

But isn’t that the case?

 

[thehass]

They run a nice offense and well executed

 

[Jguede]

Loyola is controlling this game

 

[Epsilon]

I am just hoping that they tire from all that energy and we can run deeper with more energy.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Absolutely playing their game right now. We are letting them dictate.

 

[Illinifan533]

Early in the Drexel game our spacing wasn't that great, either. Need to fix that if we survive this game.

 

[BBlock24]

But isn’t that the case?

Yes it is. Just saying it’s really showing so far.
