Game Thread: Illinois vs Loyola Chicago

[Deleted member 11228]

We need to take the game to them. This is ridiculous.

We are playing very passively. We act like we don't have the ability to blow by these guys.

 

[hooraybeer]

they are good. forcing us to play their game

 

[thedrunkreferee]

We're a #1 seed and I'm sorry, if we can't beat Loyola, I can live with it. There is no reason not excuses at this point. Go out and get the job done. It's not the NCAA, it's not the refs....it's the team.

I don’t want to hear that. For a team to be an 8 seed when everyone and their mother had them AT WORST a 6 seed? It’s bullcrap.

 

[BRucks]

He's not running the floor either. Playing very lax right now.

2 points, three rebounds

 

[CubsWin]

Loyola is getting much better shots than we are. Something needs to change quickly or else we are in big trouble. We're already at the point where, if they continue to shoot a reasonable 3 point percentage, it is going to be tough to come back.

BU better go off on this crew or we need to smack them back. Don't just lay down

 

[Illini_Jack]

Something big has to change before half or we are majorly screwed

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

I-L-L....

 

[Thaillini22]

I feel nauseous

Still think Krutwig couldn't play at Illinois? Best player on the floor right now.

 

[ChiIllini75]

Completely outcoached. They know how to exploit our drop pick and roll defense and are icing our pick and roll and we seem completely unable to react to either. Strange because this was obviously how they would attack us.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Locker room garbage can is trembling in fear of the abuse it’s gonna get at halftime.

 

[Butters]

We look like we have no idea what they run on offense.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Hate to say it, we have no answer for the double pick at the FT line. need to start switching everything or dare I say it go to a zone. Also, they aren't calling anything so Kofi is getting beat up every time. I still see a W, but better keep it under 10 at half.

 

[hooraybeer]

stop the complaints about seeding. have to beat the team in front of us

 

[jrmarcus]

Don't know how most of you people made it through the year, already given up on the team. Switch the channel. Don't need fair weather fans. Illinois will be fine.

 

[Lexis20]

Loyola is so well coached. Moser is such a good coach. This is a guy Indiana should go after.

 

[Keisersose]

Knew this would be bad when I saw the crew. Scirotto gets j. Our guys heads bc they know they can play as hard as the other team. Can’t believe it.

let’s fight guys.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Make adjustments cause we know they won’t at half time

 

[Double ACL]

I-L-L....

I-N-I Baby HAVE THE FAITH

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Kofi needs to go ape**** when he gets it under the hoop next time. They are beating the crap out of him. Theres no way a 7 footer gets his shot blocked.

 

[Deleted member 748056]

Three defenders and no kick out

 

[Thaillini22]

How is Loyola not undefeated?

 

[urbanachiever]

LUC did the same thing to UM in 2018. UM adjusted at halftime and their athleticisim took over in the 2nd half. I feel like we just need to keep this thing within 10 and live to make adjustments at halftime

 

[TheChief4Life]

Kofi is having a very bad game.
