Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[Trueblue777]

Yep, right from the tipoff. It was very evident to me

 

[chief]

When I see a player do that I lose so much respect....I am talking about the lane violation.

 

[SemperFiIllini]

So much for the, when we are healthy we are a dangerous team....

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

this must be how Oregon felt when we played them

We did beat them by 32, but I remember it was 13 with like 13 minutes left. And then Boswell made two threes.

This one's not even gonna be under 20 at any point in half 2.

 

[Scoregasm]

In all my years I have NEVER seen a lane violation on the first free throw of a two shot foul.

Inventing ways to !!!! up this season

We are not even remotely ready to play this game.....hoping we can get a 6 seed.

 

[Battle89]

This team’s ability to implode is staggeringly impressive

If I see us trail on one more scream I might keel over.

Excellent Freudian slip!

 

[Dragons89]

Did you just start watching this year? He presented the same issues before the injury. He will have to improve in that area just like Kofi did.

 

[FightinIllini30]

This team has no fight. I am so sick and tired of getting punked by Maryland.

 

[Orange Wave]

McCartney looking at the white claw like what the hell is this was fantastic.

 

[grantlab]

Andy Katz is the only one out there struggling more than Illinois tonight

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

NO, that's the wrong take. BU should be the one to hitchhike back to CU. He should have fired Hamer 20 games ago. This is on Brad. Full stop.

You're emotional and not allowing yourself to understand that our kids are outclassed at every position. We play a lot of freshmen that aren't physically able to compete right now. John Wooden couldn't fix this issue. Hard stop.

[The pop of Champaign]

Really liking Johnson’s effort and defense considering he probably isn’t 100% conditioning

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Effing Boatraced on a full courter....WTF

 

[Illinifrank67]

Hammer gotta go. Maryland looks like they’re playing against their practice squad. This defense is a joke.

 

[Oracle21]

Wow a ZONE! At least for 1 possession

 

[steveinspringfield]

Will we get "Not open for further replies" before or after the 10 minute mark?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Maryland has come back to reality and stepped off the gas a bit. Need to keep grinding this down. No wasted possessions

 

[Dawgss4life]

So who’s winning this tournament

 

[RDS]

Short of giving them a police escort to the hoop not sure how we could play softer D.

 

[DeeIL89]

Leaving them open. Smh!

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Did someone hang the jersey upside down in Gainbridge?

 

[OskieWowWow]

4 out of 5 of our assistant coaches were promoted to their current role. Too much stale thinking, not enough accountability, and being complacent with hiring only your friends/family

 

[Trueblue777]

We are soft, need to recruit more athletic bruisers like Morez

 

[illinifan1987]

What is wrong with KJ? That was a horrible shot
