Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Maryland is ridiculously stupid if they don’t pound it inside over and over and over!

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

Carey Booth +5 so far

 

[illiniguy24]

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


Right??

We Will….When??

See what I did there?


(Sorry)

 

[Retro62]

Time for KJ to put on a cape

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

The only good thing about this situation is the mismatch works both ways. Queen can't guard anyone on the court right now. We need to make our shoots, especially our 3s, to exploit this because they are going to get a ton of easy 2s.

 

[Ramrod2010]

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

Pretty sure I saw the same.

 

[azillini1]

If Booth doesn't get minutes in this one, he will never see any minutes

 

[KingWolf11]

Booth getting minutes something is going on with this team this is not good

 

[chief]

Everything at the rim for them, easy peasy!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

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

Yeah, just a really bad matchup for us to be down Tomi and Morezin foul trouble. Not all that much we can do other than go 5 out and hope we catch fire

 

[LoveLovie]

Elite passer KJ wow

 

[PopChampaign]

Tre is at his best with KJ on the floor

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

KJ's passing is just keeping us in it...

 

[skyIdub]

DGL needs to take Boswell minutes. The dude is a liability both on offense and defense.

Lmfao!! Literally our best defender dude. Step outside for some fresh air.

 

[jacekpardol]

The refs are punishing Brad for his comments. They did the exact same thing to Hurley in the beginning of the season when he criticized the refs.

 

[sacraig]

Queen's mouth guard isn't going to do him much good if he's always got it hanging out of his mouth chewing on it.

 

[Ramrod2010]

KJ, why are you step back threeing when Queen is on you...?

 

[Naborman88]

No offensive rebounds tonight

 

[BBlock24]

They have no shot guarding the basket being so undersized right now. I don’t see a way they can string together stops.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Lmfao!! Literally our best defender dude. Step outside for some fresh air.

Not lately.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Man we are just not a good team. Our metrics are fraudulent.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

KJ, why are you step back threeing when Queen is on you...?

He's literally made a living on that

 

[DeeIL89]

Infuriating how much we missed open 3s.

 

[B-ILL]

KJ, why are you step back threeing when Queen is on you...?

Reverse psychology!

That was a walk before the foul
