Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[TCTORNADO]

Maryland 18-24 for 75%

 

[SescIllini]

Who still loves the stretch 4 position?

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

I get shooting 3s against the zone, but do we need to be shooting from 25 ft?

 

[IlliniMed]

OMG. a made field goal

 

[chief78]

cowan really is pushing off with his off arm

 

[TeamWilliams]

We always play bad on Sunday

 

[FeelTheLovie]

Freshman Leron in full force all season

I think I’m gonna have to leave at half, I have to much school work to stay and watch this dumpster fire.

Kipper getting hit in the head by a Smith shot......absolutely perfect end to that half.

 

[FeelTheLovie]

We always play bad

FIFY

 

[Welchelracing21c]

The last shot in the half tells the story of the first half.

 

[Illini B-Ball Fan]

got to get it under 20 by the half.

Only 19 point lead.

 

[Sizzler22]

This team is not good. They are slow and can't shoot.

 

[whatahack]

Just pathetic

[Soxfreak64]

Yeesh, think I'm gonna let this one go and tune in on Wednesday!

When you're slow, small and can't shoot...

 

[GoIllini23]

Md complaing to refs at half....classy

 

[IlliniMed]

I think its on Underwood for keeping the same lineups. You can see who should or should not be starting. Our older guys are SLOW. you need to get speed in there against size. The freshman should be leading us right now

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Wow, we just aren’t very good. Doesn’t matter though as long as I see hope and I still see hope! This time my hope lies in the fire and temperament of our HC. He hates to lose and that is a great trait!

 

[dsg]

Maryland -2.5

I think this decimal point might be in the wrong place?

I was excited at the beginning of the year about being able to watch the NCAA tournament with Illinois in it. Not going to happen. I need to quit wasting my time watching Illini basketball.

 

[GoIllini23]

I am for giving underwood a looong leash, not sure what people expect, he has a track history of winning. He has so-so upper classmen, and Leron Black playing w a lot of freshmen

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Cowen with 16 pts at the half? That's a problem.

 

[PJD86]

on the plus side, refs arent costing us the game, 4 total free throws between the two teams I think

 

[TCTORNADO]

Sorry, might have been 2nd and Chalmers

I see a lot of positives and was very impressed with the NW showing. This team is going to be OK, but it's tough to look by the first half butt kicking. I take the Illini for the 2nd half.
