Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[JSpence]

Brad is going to nail a shot chart of this game to the inside of every door in Ubben. EVERY door.

 

[ChiTown]

Sure look like the wheels are coming off this wagon today.

 

[skyIdub]

The book is out on Domask and Ty. They'd better look to get more creative. Everyone standing around watching "booty ball".

 

[DAM1298]

What the hell is going on with Quincy today? He’s been atrocious defensively

 

[Fighting I 95]

We are in real trouble here. Poor play by everyone right now.

In 66 years of watching Illini basketball, I cannot remember ever giving up so many uncontested layups. Somebody has some wires crossed.

 

[hiberto]

as Weber would say to McCamey, "Move!". too much standing around on offense

 

[azillini1]

Maryland with 12 more shots than us due to TO's and offensive rebounds. How can Maryland only have 3 TO's?

 

[illiniguy24]

MD is too long and strong for Domask to go iso every time. We need some good ball movement or some offense created by defense. Hawkins, QG or Harmon need to hit some shots ASAP

 

[spillini]

This is maddening

Username checks out

 

[walzon]

is it just how UMD coaches? they always have our number

 

[ChiTown]

We need energy off the bench.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Ty did well vs MSU but he needs to play to his skill set and forcing offense isn't it. Pass, rebound
, cut, Dunk!

This game looks like it will be another photo finish.

 

[TheodoreRex]

ya, hoped the 2nd half start would be better and give me more confidence. I might feel worse than I did. I think we might drop this game.

 

[Coop70]

Just got in from thawing out main water pipe into the house when crawlspace door blew out last night. Hous it going today?

 

[1970 John]

I was at the 2019 game—with my daughter and her intended, Terp, as our guests—when we were ahead by 15 at halftime and lost by one.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Worst performance of the year in terms of energy against… Maryland. Yeah checks out

 

[eas23]

DGL and Moretti please...

Definitely gonna solve our defensive issues.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

The defense is rough, but the turnover disparity is murder. MD is currently on pace to take 22 more shots than us. Half again as many. That is... not easily survived.

Yep, we are flat and need some kind of spark off the bench today. Since Harris is out how about DGL

 

[FloridaMan]

Getting out hustled by the smallest guy on the court, to boot. Man, we do not look good at all. Very puzzling.

 

[BBlock24]

No matter who is playing for Maryland, they always seem to be a matchup problem.

You spend more energy doing that than what Illinois has been using in this game..

 

[HailtotheChief]

We need energy off the bench.

We need spacing, some open 3s. Ty isn't Domask and isn't who we need to run through. Especailly if we get in the bonus.

 

[hiberto]

can't be missing all these bunnies
