Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[IbleedOandB2014]

Watched the replay and Rez got the arm up in the head/neck area of the defender.

Wish we had the first one on him back, which was atrocious.

 

[WeWillWhen]

We've got to start hitting threes at some point, right?


Right??

But it looks like the OC has selected a very diverse group, unfortunately they are not passionate Illinois fans. They just get good seats.

I’m getting tired of losing to Maryland.

Time to see how good a bench coach Brad really is

 

[SuperMetroid]

Really could use Tre returning from wherever he’s been the last few games tonight

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Whoever takes a three should be benched. They're going to get whatever they want in the paint. Unless we hit the three, we're going to get blown out.

Rez's back was turned and there was a dude at his legs and back. What physics did he use to foul there and should he win a Nobel Prize for achieving that level of gravitational manipulation?

This is why Morez would have trouble starting for most teams this year. Just too many fouls called whether deserved or not.

 

[Chillinini]

Pull that redshirt off of JJ.

Will it be Booth time?

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I had this feeling watching the USC game.

Yep, feels exactly the same. Nothing about our “vibe” indicates a switch will be flipped and we’ll get right. Obviously hope I’m wrong, but it has that same creeping dread vibe.

Look we've missed atleast 5 layups and we are bricking everything from 3. Hard to win, hope men feel better. If we do lose having 3 losses on Home Court sucks.

 

[azillini1]

KJ and Ben with a combined 2 points. They need to score for us to win this

 

[FloridaMan]

Morez not impressing tonight. Need him big time and he seems slow and unmotivated. Really not a good feeling about this team right now. I know we've had some illness, but come on. Seems to happen every year around this time. We are gonna play ourselves into a 6/7 seed at best at this rate.

Great reference.

I mean he is sick which is going to really hurt his biggest asset of running the floor

 

[ginabackes00]

It's asking a lot for Ben to play against Queen

 

[redwingillini11]

So Booth is that bad huh?

 

[FromTheLogo]

I said in the pregame thread their bigs would be a problem. I was quickly reminded we have a top-10 inside defense. At this rate, we don't have a top 300. Anddddd.... Morez just picked up foul #2.

 

[Retro62]

Maryland players are a reflection of their fan base, just a bunch of a-holes.

 

[hooraybeer]

did i see a 2-3 zone for us out of the time out?

 

[Ramrod2010]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone officiated as unfairly as Morez

[Fly Illini Fly!]

We're going to have to win with offense... Kasparas with 4 assists already...

 

[Jimbo]

It;sma gift when their big takes a 3. More of that.

 

[ginabackes00]

Great job changing up the d and sag
