Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[FloridaMan]

How is that not a foul on Ben's drive?

 

[jumpingjack]

There's going to be some Ts in this game

 

[hiberto]

no foul on Ben there??

 

[FoundersClub]

Nobody is more unfit for this game than Ben

 

[mhuml32]

Hummer is not playable right now

 

[aaeismacgychel]

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE EFFING KIDDING ME.

 

[GetAWin]

Is Ben playing for Maryland now??

 

[Battle89]

They match up really well against us. Simple as that. Frankly they're the exact type of team I'd build to beat us. Physical guards, bruising athletic front court. That's pretty much our kryptonite.

Unfortunately for us, Maryland also decided to shoot absolutely unconscious from 3 tonight. So, down 20 in under 10 minutes.

Two teams in a row have decided to shoot absolutely unconscious. There’s a reason.

Their garbage !!! bench is clowning us now

When I watch Maryland play us I wonder how they ever lose

If they played us all the time, they might never lose.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

This one is on every single coach, it's an overall trainwreck

 

[DICKnaggie]

Incredibly embarrassing.

 

[Tyrone HoggLegg]

Maryland is looking to hit 110 points....

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

too hopeful. i'd be estatic with just 13 or 14.

under 20 please.

 

[derrick6]

Do we know how to take a charge?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I mean come on already. Maryland just unconscious. Nobody is beating this team today.

 

[FantaIllini]

This team is a joke, what an underperformance so far for the talent we have

 

[jumpingjack]

Playing completely discombobulated. Time for Will to put on his cape and everybody else to start playing some @$-# defense.

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

too hopeful. i'd be estatic with just 13 or 14.

How about 17 or 18?

 

[BBIQ]

Humrichous should be super glued to the bench.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Ben absolutely crushed with no whistle. Stripes starting to not call them on Maryland because of their total so far.

 

[FoundersClub]

We gave up 94 to Iowa yesterday.

We turn around and give up 53 (and, counting) in the first half of this one.

Concerning…

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I'll ask: with Big Tom on the bench, what's the plan to attack him? Hummer isn't going to take the ball to the rack. Morez isn't built for scoring on the block (only PNRs). Everyone else is only scoring on the perimeter.

Run set plays to change this!

At this point, just try to limit the embarrassment.
