Game Thread: Illinois vs Loyola Chicago

[krushalot2005]

Feel like we need to go with the Giorgio and Kofi lineup to combat size. Also curbelo is not the answer this game since Loyola is a fundamentally sound team.

Have to make something happen here in the next 4 minutes or it will be tough.

Our defense is beyond atrocious. We can't get more than 1 stop at a time which will make it nearly impossible to come back. Our lack of adjustments is criminal.

They are hitting a lot of contested shots. Just takes 3 of 4 stops in a row to make this a 2 possession game

 

[thedrunkreferee]

We need to string together maybe more than 1 stop on defense. This has been abysmal.

 

[Butters]

Kofi and Giorgi are just not playing any defense outside of 5 feet. Obviously a coaching decision that has failed for 30 minutes, but hasn't changed...

Hate to see us go out playing this poorly. Really wasted opportunity with a mostly fantastic team.

Try a zone defense and offense... pass ball to weak side 3p shooter...they are always open

 

[JAbada]

Take Curbelo out

 

[CubsWin]

Too easy.

 

[BRucks]

Zero points from our seniors

Time to get Belo the heck out of game. He’s back to HS ball again.

 

[LJ22]

I expected it to be hard. But I also expected us to, like, play.

 

[BTYBILL]

Wtf was that, pass the ball

 

[GallopingGhost]

If we are gonna start to come back... might wanna start right now

 

[illinitiger]

Where is the baseline travel call?

 

[Deleted member 747756]

Well. This sucks.

 

[Gillme]

Belo is killing us. And everyone is missing our open three shooters

 

[Th3Univ3rs3]

damn.

 

[Deleted member 747756]

13 points.. if you don't make a run.. we are done.

 

[BTYBILL]

I hope for a run, but I'm not seeing it

 

[GilThorpe]

this is not good

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

We need to show some heart here

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Someone needs to tell Curbelo you can’t dribble behind your back in college against a good team.

 

[ChiIllini75]

Just heard Giorgi on the game mic say "they're not calling, just be tougher" too little, too late But true.

Alright I think it's over
