Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[FloridaMan]

At least they are racking up some fouls. Hope that continues, may be or only chance.

The Maryland players are incredibly mouthy…I want to shut them up so badly.

 

[NASchamp]

See? Getting fouls on them actually help us. Do more of that!

 

[Ryllini]

Just hang around boys

 

[Ramrod2010]

He's literally made a living on that

I get that, but try getting a foul on their best player. Or blow by him and get a, theoretically, higher percentage shot at the rim.

way too early for this feed to be so gloomy..

 

[Jon]

Can we not get past Queen on the perimeter???

 

[aaeismacgychel]

The bank is open!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

The bank is open late on Thursdays.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Maybe a 5th or 6th seed

 

[PopChampaign]

1 on 1 ball… perimeter passing… I’ve seen this offense before

 

[ILL-Intentions]

Not sure I would flex after banking one in from the logo but get it DGL

 

[Naborman88]

Make a big bucket, give up a layup
And foul toboot

If Ivisicic is too sick to play why is he is on the bench getting others sick. Go quarantine.

I just had Flu A, it’s awful. Tommy go home

 

[FloridaMan]

What is up with Boswell's shot? My goodness put some air under that thing!

 

[skyIdub]

Lol...Booth with the ball is watching a little kid hold a lit firecracker while running through a pit of snakes.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I get the feeling the ref calling fouls on the boards might be confusing red and white jerseys

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

So without KJ and TOMI both in the line up, we are a below average team. At this point we can kiss the regular season title good bye. Focus on making it to March, healthy.

I’d say not having a legit center on the court for long stretches against this Maryland team, is a recipe for disaster. Queen and Reese are too big and too good for us to try to check with SFs.
Regular season title was toast on Saturday, IMO.

 

[azillini1]

As bad as we have shot and rebounded, I am surprised we are in this game

 

[Jimbo]

The way this game’s been going feels like we’re down 20

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Booth is totally freshman year CoHawk

 

[FromTheLogo]

11 layups for Maryland....

 

[hiberto]

Booth don't be taking those threes

 

[NASchamp]

Booth has been so close on two now. If there’s ever a time for him to make some 3s….
