Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan State

[ILL-Intentions]

That call on Riley was soft. I was hopeful seeing Tomi for some high/low but then saw hum in there again.

Brads decision to remove DGL and Tre from the rotation is just baffling imo

 

[HailtotheChief]

Attack the rim now in the bonus with 13 min

 

[skyIdub]

Finally some home cooking.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Have to drive now in bonus

 

[bjp84]

MSU guard so much better than we do.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The calls have been in our favor for almost 3/4 of the game.

 

[hiberto]

MSU already with 7 fouls so need to attack the paint the rest of the game, don't settle for threes

 

[tell it like it is]

Here come the make up calls

You mean the Izzo calls, right?

 

[DeeIL89]

Get stops on d.

 

[JJE]

MSU from the midrange tonight has been impressive.

 

[JSpence]

Under these circumstances, Ben is in for... rebounding?

 

[ILL-Intentions]

“Tough 2s” haven’t seemed so tough

 

[azillini1]

We should be better with the talent we have... possible 2 first rounders and we shoot too many 3's. Maybe BU will wake up and hire some real coaches to run the offense and defense. Just a criminal waste of talent, especially at this time of the year.

Going to make for some tired guys late too

MSU from the midrange tonight has been impressive.

They are shooting out of their shoes. Not exactly their best game, but fire from everywhere but the backboard.

 

[ChiTown]

Rez is a problem tonight.

 

[New Creation]

Without Morez we would be down double digits right now.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Keep going under ever screen and getting cooked on midrange jumpers.

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

What we've heard here, and it seems likely to me (if no other hominid) is that Tre has a lot of trouble accepting that his job is to defend, rebound, and score of offensive rebounds and back cuts. He is not supposed to dribble-dribble-dribble, cross, MISS. He wants a larger share of the shot clock, and Under (correctly) won't give it to Tre.

We also need to be perfectly clear. Izzo, Michigan st. Has stayed away from portal. They have culture and experience together. Gonna be dangerous team in March.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Keep taking it to the rim. We’re going to be in double bonus soon.

 

[madcrazeeballa]

Stubbornness and a refusal to adjust

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Get this into the double bonus pronto!!!!

 

[TheodoreRex]

Man alive is MSU making some tough contested midrange shots this game. Shooting way better than they normally do.

Anyone else cringe when Ben comes in?
