Game Thread: Illinois vs Marquette

[PopChampaign]

I feel like now is the time it can get away from us

 

[PassingBy]

So far, too fast for us.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Gotta make our open threes

 

[PopChampaign]

I love Hansberry, but idk if it’s the right time

 

[FloridaMan]

Too many TOs and settled for/missed wide open 3s so far

 

[New Creation]

That corner 3 is not our shot at all. We are shooting less than 10% on the year from the corner. Other than Goode

 

[PopChampaign]

Luke MF Goode!

 

[skyIdub]

Tyler Kolek could win a NC for this squad.

 

[eas23]

Oh cool, first time this season we've just dropped the ball out of bounds.

 

[madillini4]

More passing, less dribbling.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Big three by Luke

 

[hoopsfan47]

So far, too fast for us.

Yup...and add too smart.

I liked Shaka Smart more when he played guitar for Rage Against the Machine

I hope we take the power back, settle for nothing, and clear the lane.

 

[Dragons89]

He’s not, in my opinion it’s all about position, he’s catching the ball too far away from the rim and doesn’t have the handles or speed to create a shot

Can’t be the man if you defer on everything.

 

[azillini1]

Gurrier and Hawkins yet to score. We need some production from them!

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

God, that injured guy is killing us!

 

[NarrowJ]

I hate Kolek and his stupid flexing after every layup.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Marquette definitely looks like the better team... but we could still win this game.

 

[Jon]

The NCAA should allow a redshirt player to play in games where he has to guard an All-American

 

[hoopsfan47]

If Illini can stay within 3 possessions their depth advantage may pay dividends late.

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

We miss too many quality looks from 3.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Tyler Kolek could win a NC for this squad.

He's been fantastic

 

[NarrowJ]

Marquette definitely looks like the better team... but we could still win this game.

They are light years better on offense, at least.

 

[grantlab]

PnR defense hasn’t been great, but chalk some of that up to MU’s discipline and exceptional passing. Communication hasn’t been great for our guys though.

We can have 10+ offensive boards this game if we keep crashing the glass. Problem is, they can run when we send too many guys, and they’re making us pay in transition.

I hate Kolek and his stupid flexing after every layup.

To be honest if I were playing like him right now I'd probably be flexing too
