Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

Dang man, this feels like the wheels are coming off. Gotta figure it out.

David is killing us..

Everyone is killing us.

I didn’t think we’d win, but I didn’t think we’d fold and get out played like this.

Brad never calls a timeout to make adjustments before the game gets away

 

[AndyKaufmanstutor]

Go zone BU! Getting eaten alive off the dribble.

Sadly I don’t even know what Andrej’s role is on this team. He doesn’t have one major strength, not a good shooter, struggles in traffic and not a good defender. Insane amount of money for someone not producing.

I respectfully disagree. He’s another weapon…another tool in the toolbox. When the other stuff isn’t working you need someone who can create…also just cut hard…drive, and slash. etc.

Sometimes you need somebody to knock down those floaters and pull ups. They become some of the biggest shots in a game sometimes.

People have short memories. Do we not remember the other games he showed up big for us?

It sucks to say but this Michigan team is just flat out better.

Bigger, stronger, more athletic.

We're outmatched tonight. Unless we go nuclear from 3, it's over.

 

[Naborman88]

This game feels over.

At least he stood up this half after sitting on the bench the first 20.

 

[Oracle21]

We’re getting bullied balled by a team that is far more athletic

 

[Ryllini]

Still too soft mentally and physically

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Overwhelmed right now, may be the only team in the country that can do this to us.

Michigan has an inside game… we don’t.

In fairness, we haven’t even tried, it’s not like we’re small

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Tomi has been absolutely atrocious defensively ̶ ̷t̷o̷n̷i̷g̷h̷t̷.

Fixed.

Andre will probably not be back next year…

 

[SuperMetroid]

Are we tired of these clowns chirping and flexing yet?

 

[rdk573]

Or instead D has been atrocious. We just don't have the physicality inside

 

[Red77sng]

Michigan is so much better than us

 

[LvilleILL1]

Turnovers have killed us tonight. Just awful in that aspect.

 

[USAFILLINI]

Our D is not good

 

[punchabove33]

we will win 2 games in the big ten tournament. 2nd or 3rd seed in NCAA. Sweet 16 exit.

That's a yes, for me anyway.

Brad needs to recruit better athletes…

We are not who we thought we were. If you cant get up for a game physically and mentally, you just arent there. We are not even close in either area to them and our offense is luke watching frozen pond water move
