Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[Illinisnake]

What happened to Tomi - all he does now is pick and pop 3s

That’s literally the offense Underwood runs, its 5 out

I mean that’s the offense.

 

[steveinspringfield]

Don Meredith time.

 

[rdk573]

We are what we are

 

[BoiseBaller]

Just too weak in the paint for this matchup.

 

[JKR]

Men vs boys.

 

[BT262]

Illini getting a taste of big boy basketball. They are no match. Maybe Sweet Sixteen, maybe.

 

[fantasydaily708]

Yeah its over smh Mara is taking they soul

 

[LouHenson]

Hard to say, they are simply better than us.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Most annoying !!!!ing team on the planet

 

[Iamgroot]

Or you can just give up a offensive rebound and put back for a and 1.unless a miracle were cooked got out played in our own house cant blame the crush on this one fr

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Easy to make excuses. Michigan just looks like the better team.

Could be said about pretty much every team other than Duke.

 

[Oracle21]

Mara is destroying us

 

[Rap47]

This is what happens when your bigs are no threat inside.

 

[Da88]

We have two seven footers and can’t guard the rim

Even when they play at the same time.

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Starting to feel like the UCON game- “Elite” 8

 

[DICKnaggie]

Mara is out playing both twins. Embarrassing. Tomi's demise in shooting has killed us this year.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Honestly, what did you think our bigs we're going to accomplish this game? Our advantage is their skill, not being rugged around the bucket. We needed a bunch of threes from our bigs and aren't getting them.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Not mentally ready …

 

[Hobbesfan]

Illini ceiling...Elite Eight Michigan ceiling...National Champions

 

[HouTexIllini]

Wagler was in position for the rebound and gets moved…c’mon man seriously?

And why were our two 7-footers out guarding the perimeter?

Where is the coaching???

 

[DeeIL89]

Just exposing our flaws.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Refs out to get us after Brad complained and sent videos of bad calls to the league

Lol, we just arent that good tonight. Officials arent outhustling, out rebounding, out shooting, out coaching, or anything else

 

[azillini1]

I remember early in the year when I got into a debate on here about Mara being more mobile and better offensively than our bigs. Michigan front line is clearly out- muscling us so far

 

[Bigtex]

Where is the number 1 offense
