Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[Homecoming 2019]

It's not working for Morez with his light contests on their shots. He needs to go up stronger on both ends of the floor. Looking soft tonight.

Might as well get your moneys worth on the fouls, hes getting called regardless

 

[Battle89]

DGL is the only person who looks like he actually wants to be here tonight, to be honest.

Not the first game we’ve said that

 

[Jsheag777]

Yeah, like you do not have your double double center. Riley is out sick. White is sick and maybe a few others are feeling under the weather as well. The sky is most definitely not falling. You will see. Too much talent. Lots of games to play.

So we have the worst 3pt shooting % in the B1G now?

And we shoot the most.

 

[KC-ILL]

Could lose by 20…

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

SO many cumulative mistakes … making LAYUPS has us like TIED right now!!!

 

[Flyin' Illini]

So we have the worst 3pt shooting % in the B1G now?

We are a volume 3 point shooting team, not a high percentage shooting team.

 

[tpaillini]

ok stop the bleeding

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Haha, alright then. Sure.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Well this was disappointing

 

[DeeIL89]

Now the threes are falling for Maryland. LMAO!

 

[Rich]

We've been used to BU teams get better as the season goes on. Unfortunately this year aint it.

 

[New Creation]

have a good night boys. Try again Sunday. Hopefully Tomi is back. Because I feel like Brad is trying to prove a point playing Booth this much. Letting all of us see how bad he actually is.

 

[CleverHandle1]

we look like boys playing men

So true. I realized today that we are far from Elite. Reality time.

 

[Illini John]

I was hoping that after the Michigan State robbery our guys would set out on a mission to win 6 or 7 straight and challenge for the Big Ten title. Now I realize that was a pipe dream and we are probably looking at 5th or 6th in the conference. And it hurts.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I love the announcers talking about Booth like he's some kind of secret weapon sharpshooter, as he misses three after three.

 

[illinifan4249]

This is where you would like to see the team out shooting after the game

 

[SuperMetroid]

Every piece of garbage they throw up is going in

 

[RML]

Yikes.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

We are not good.

 

[PopChampaign]

I know the ceiling is high but not sure if we’d make it there in one season

We’re mid realistically, like high mid, but mid nonetheless

 

[The Sprouting Divot]

I’m not even mad at this point. We’re going to be a 7 seed and insanely dangerous.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Eh, 2022 was kind of constant for a few months and you could argue 2023 got worse. But agree on this year.

 

[NashvILLe05]

I’m tired of hearing we’re top 10 in KenPom or the Net or whatever. This game should help fix that. We can’t beat mid B1G teams at home!

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Time to switch over to Australian Open
