Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[Second place is 1st loser]

Do you EVER have anything positive? You do this EVERY game, then celebrate a win, all the while ignoring that you bury every aspect of the team.

Minny is shooting the ball beautifully and Crocker is the best player on the floor right now. If they do it all game, tip the cap.

Someone needs to hard foul #5 a couple of times. Dump him on his butt.

 

[Zorak]

What is it about Brad's teams that makes them lay absolute eggs against obviously inferior conference opponents at home

 

[SuperMetroid]

So this Crockpot guy is today’s designated Career Day Guy

This is one of those home ‘wins’ we’ve dropped in the past. Let’s please not let this one slip away.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

But, but, but...we're number 3.49134 on Torvik. Stop trolling, man. Why won't you trust our coaches????

 

[FloridaMan]

It's been the book on us for 7 years. Play zone, give yourself a chance.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

It seems we have never seen a 3-2 zone before.

 

[BoiseBaller]

HumBrickHouse is back.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

We need our Road Dog Attitude at home!!! Why do we let down on defense at home, and let others out play us.

 

[punchabove33]

At this point, does it matter

 

[BoiseBaller]

This feels

This is one of those home ‘wins’ we’ve dropped in the past. Let’s please not let this one slip away.

feels like USC last year.

 

[madillini4]

This is embarrassing

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

We cannot figure out the zone.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Offense right now-pass around the perimeter for 30 seconds... shoot a terrible 3 with 1 second left, hope we get the offensive rebound.

 

[curtmoss]

Tyler’s offense is pass the ball around the top 4-5 times, then shoot a three?

 

[thehass]

Ben does not have the hot hand. Right now no one does. Let big Z fire them up.

 

[TonyClifton]

Humrichous

Rain dance

 

[jamie13197]

Thank goodness Keaton didn't go to Minnesota. They might be in 1st place.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

This zone has completely flustered us

 

[SummerofGeorge]

More Z and less Ben, period

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Ben is just not a 3 point shooter. We need to stop pretending he is.... they had larger rims at edwardsville. Trust me, I know the equipment manager

He just can't hit open threes. It's what it is at this point

 

[hoopsfan47]

Guess it is clear to everyone which Gopher is going to go career high today.

 

[blife]

Attack this Fing zone. No ISO and hunting matchups against a zone, run some sh*t get to the paint

 

[punchabove33]

Put Petro in... I am not even kidding. need the dribble drive
