Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan State

[CHILI1992]

Why is Ben in the game when MSU has 9 fouls? His capabilities are jacking up threes and backing down his defender for a fadeaway he makes 35% of the time.

EXACTLY

Night all.

This team is so soft. No grit or drive.
So inept offensively. I’ve seen enough desperate step back threes from KJ to last a lifetime. No offensive flow.

Morez sat on bench last 8 minutes, we were up!

2 of 18 FGs, none in the last 7:42

This is a joke. This team has no guts.

Another game within reach that we just piss away. Brad will make the same excuses in the postgame, then go home and get a good night of rest.

I don't agree. This team is poorly coached. Multiple Illini hustled their hearts out on that floor today. Our coaches have no idea how to manage personnel or organize an offense or defense. That'll get you beat against the better coached teams with similar talent most nights.

Underwood just giving up? Not even fouling. MSU just outworked IL this game. It was personal for them.

Next time hopefully Brad doesn’t run his mouth about officiating. Seemed to fire up MSU.

Well deserved win for them

BU is 62 years old, he is not going to get us any further than he has. He is what he is at this point.

 

[Heisenbobble]

I'm not convinced Underwood should stick around.

 

[SescIllini]

Let me guess. he is looking up Grammer school stats of the reporters

 

[illini510]

Why is this team shooting so many 3's? They can't make them for god sakes

 

[blueguy]

Can we hire Beard

 

[D1959]

Every game against us, somebody has a new career high

 

[jamie13197]

Blew us out another pathetic home loss!

 

[RickF]

Im scared what we’re going to lose by Duke. Ugh

 

[FloridaMan]

Maybe time to speak with Josh given this season. Very uninspiring from a top 10 paid coach to say the very, minimally least.

 

[DeeIL89]

To be an elite program you need assistant coaches that run your offense and defense to also be elite. Not ones that look like they're still video/scouting assistants.

 

[BlueLeader]

3PT shooting for this team has got to stop

 

[tcb13]

Career high 23 for Joe Dirt

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Kohler career high…shocker…

 

[sacraig]

Out coached again

Well, two of our assistants are children, so...

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Ok, at what point do you look at our players and inquire why they aren't even moderately good shooters? There were PLENTY of open looks.

 

[frozenrope9190]

Guys, we're just not that good this year.

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Perfect time - USA just went up!

Wasted efforts by Rez., young man is growing up right in front of our eyes.
