Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[Jimbo]

Tomi shouldn’t have even been in the game after the first foul, because you know that 2nd foul is coming quick.

 

[Coop70]

Gotta be smarter and drive more

 

[azillini1]

Ivisic with another foul. So, now REZ has to be in to stabilize the interior

 

[CentralILLini]

Really bad foul by tomi there

 

[genxrex]

Dumb dumb thank God we have a good defensive adjustment for when we have guys in foul trouble

 

[D1959]

When I saw the brackets come out, I said at that time if we end up playing Maryland, we can’t handle them inside. We don’t have the beef and I got drug through the coals for saying it but so far it’s pretty obvious.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Kj and Boz have to attack undercontrol and create for others. We have fouls on 4 guys and another sets em. KJ wake up man!

 

[NashvILLe05]

Really bad start. Tomi has a lot of bad TO’s too and then commits a dumb foul on the other end. He’s worth a lot more than a layup and needs to be smarter…now he has to sit for a long time.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

It would be nice if we had some defensive adjustments to slow them down inside. This looks like the first game all over again

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

We have literally run zero for our best player right now!

 

[TyroneHogglegg]

WTF. Illini should be going on the attack on offense. That’s our only chance. Playing tentatively

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I thought that first foul was on Tre White on the hack. Man we could've used that extra foul for Tomi

 

[ChiTown]

Tomi passing up some open looks,if he can’t spread the floor we will have a tough game.

 

[illinifan1971]

These officials suck. They call tick tack fouls all night. Should be easy to fouls out every player

 

[RML]

What were they saying?

I thought it was "the basket is getting lower
". Now, had they done it in Lithuanian...

 

[illiram]

Let's not lose to a team that wore man bra's in warmup. What in the wide wide world of sports was that!!!!!!!!! I have not seen this before, and maybe I am out of touch.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Tomi just can’t pick up a foul there….

He should let him go. Not smart given his value.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Queen and Reese are going to take out lunch money. We have no answers. We have a lot of skill, just no physicality.

 

[KBLEE]

Tomi's first foul should have gone to Trey

 

[IlliniSon]

They’re just going to pound it inside until we (If) stop them.

 

[azillini1]

Dumb dumb thank God we have a good defensive adjustment for when we have guys in foul trouble

Didn't know we had a zone?

 

[blife]

Please don't let this be an Auggie/Sean May part 2. Lots of banging by Reese and Queen

 

[illinifan1971]

These officials ruin the game

 

[illiniguy24]

Idk if I can watch this again …

 

[New Creation]

We look lost on defense. I can’t stand bad defense.
