Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[skyIdub]

Has Brad compared Domask to Doncic yet?

Ty recipe for success in the lane: wash, rinse, spin, dry, fluff, fold, tie a ribbon on it and get back on defense.

This may be another 30+ Domask night!

BOOTY BALL TIME

CH getting abused today on D. I know he prides himself on it so expect it to get better.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Reese is giving Coleman all sorts of problems today. With him in foul trouble now and Amani out, we are very very thin.

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

We look a little slow on the defensive end.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Maryland playing with more energy. We are getting out rebounded and out hustled.

 

[New Creation]

Coleman has to know what happens when he comes out of the game. Gotta be smarter. Dain on the floor is not good for us. It’s already a 4 point game again.

 

[FloridaMan]

Not sure why we struggle at the end of halves. We've controlled this game and are up only 4. Very similar feel to MSU. Hopefully it doesn't cost us one.

Dain is completely unplayable. Lost on defense, lost on offense. So brutal.

 

[grantlab]

Our defense has absolutely stunk so far. Can’t keep Young in front of them. Terps are bound to shoot better from the outside if we keep giving them decent looks

 

[Luhmania]

Justin getting beat over and over by Young.

 

[abchew2]

We look way worse with Dain out there with how clogged it gets. Can this put an end to Dain needs more minutes from Coleman talk from some here?

 

[chief]

young is left handed

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Maryland playing with more energy. We are getting out rebounded and out hustled.

This was what I worried about. Getting back up after such a hard fought win such a short time ago is a challenge. We're going to find out a lot about the character of this team today.

Coleman's birthday is in December, not January, right?

We just cannot lose this one. The psychological impact of losing to a bad Maryland team yet again, a horrifically bad NET/resume loss, wasting an opportunity for a significant jump into the top 10, etc.

Get it together boys!!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Getting murdered in the paint and on the floor offensive boards.

two fouls on Coleman really messes up our first half, hopefully we keep it close

 

[JSpence]

Should be a blowout by the shooting numbers. Yuck. Gonna be a loooong ten minutes or whatever w/o Coleman.

 

[FloridaMan]

How can Maryland be complaining about that call????? Come on he put QG into the bench lol

 

[thehass]

Our defense has something to be desired. They are getting way too many shots in the lane.
