Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[IlliniCards24]

Well it's early morning... we moved east a time zone... and as our body of work indicates we either don't play well when we need to or we just aren't that good.

Any chance the Illinois Media group has a blooper real set to Sarah McLachlan "Memories" ready to go?

I don't care if this game is at 4 AM. You win this and you have a shot at the tournament. It's pathetic. Zero excuses.

Malcolm finally scores. Ten minutes into the game.

And gets benched immediately thereafter.

 

[FeelTheLovie]

Wow being an Illini fan has really become embarrassing

 

[IlliniInOK]

what an embarrassing effort. See ya Groce

 

[GallopingGhost]

Doubling Mav every time. Really smart considering how he creamed them the first game

I'm glad I went to taco mac on my lunch to watch a 20 minute delay and then us get embarrassed to start the game. Should've stayed and poured hot coffee on myself

They're gonna come out all inspired and playing their hearts out and we're gonna get rolled.

I hope I am wrong, but when you consider Groce v. Beilein, the run Michigan has been on since we beat them the first time, the fact that our backs are against the wall and we just lost to Rutgers, and now all this? I just don't see it ending well for us.

Correct, sir.

Maverick blue collar Morgan with those apple turnovers today. Keep up the good work blue collar

 

[helppitch]

Can we stay within 20?

Not if Morgan keps turning it over.

Didn't realize we were this bad

I did. Unfortunately I've been watching this all season long. :tsk:

 

[DaChief4ever]

There's two squirrels fighting in my bird feeder.....might be a more interesting watch.

 

[IlliniInOK]

Correct, sir.

I hate being right sometimes. :sigh:

 

[illini67]

Has scum been called for any fouls?

 

[Kazanski]

Nah, I'd keep the NIT bid. That's a few extra games of Experience for the younger guys. Will be helpful down the road.

That's assuming we'd win a game.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Unless we come back and somehow win this, I think Groce will be gone within 72 hours. We won't turn down the NIT bid - not sure whether Groce or Walker will coach.

Agreed, won't be saddened.

 

[IlliniRunIn07]

Pathetic. See you later John.

 

[FatGreg]

Michigan swarming Malcolm and Mav every possession. Incredible that opponents haven't done this to us every game.

If there's anyone still on the Groce bandwagon after this, turn in your Illini fan card.

 

[Deleted member 57255]

Interesting to hear the differences in Beilein and Groce huddles.

 

[Adnarel]

Personal foul differential is 7/3 Illinois/Michigan.

I really am actually grateful for this horrible performance. Makes it easier to release Groce without feeling conflicted about it.

 

[Illiniguy13]

Score/ time update?

 

[westms77]

Embarrassing

 

[FightingIllini09]
