Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[mikeyo]

can't stop the pick & roll. 1 screen and we have a lay up against us. I understand Brad's frustration

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Brad is PISSED

Understandable. That was 2 brutal defensive possessions

 

[bjp84]

Sloppy, sloppy so far. I think this was a classic trap game after MSU.

What was I saying about shooting threes?

Not sure how this is happening after Thursday. Thought we defended the pick and roll much better than this.

Well...the game is far from over....but you wondered where this team would lay an ugly egg this year. It's going to happen. Or...you know..."it's happening!"

I kinda love the timeout 60 seconds into the half just to lay into them. And when you don’t do it (lay into them) every game, I imagine it carries a lot more weight.

The dog days of Jan. amidst a long season seem to be having an effect on Illini legs and focus.

Let’s get a run of stops here.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Wow that was a bad travel in CoHawk that was not called.

 

[illiniguy24]

Let’s go Hawkins. Been a non factor mostly today compared to usual. Time to make some plays

We're winning.

 

[JSpence]

Jesus. Has anyone said the Z word yet?

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Great recovery from Goode to prevent the easy look.

Was shocked that wasn’t called a foul watching on TV

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Brutal turnover by Marcus there. Just can't do that

 

[skyIdub]

That's twice now at least that Domask misses easy look on the break. You gotta lob that to CoHawk.

 

[eas23]

This puts him at +11 on the day, but Domask has straight up handed Maryland 7 points.

 

[FloridaMan]

What are MD and Ty doing right now? Maybe think about moving the ball on offense a little? Brutal

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The dog days of January? It's only our fifth conference game of the year and we've played what...4 games this month. If we're mentally drained....its going to be a really long season. This has has just been a piss poor effort.

 

[madillini4]

This is maddening

 

[DICKnaggie]

Did something happen off court? This looks like a team in shock. Completely different team than we've seen this year.

 

[punchabove33]

DGL and Moretti please...

 

[Manual3for4peat]

I know people don’t want to hear it. Today’s a day we could have used a point guard on several of these fast breaks. We are over dribbling.

 

[New Creation]

We just look gassed no energy what so ever.
