Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[New Creation]

That’s a coaching adjustment by Brad. Love to see that. Petro making a difference

 

[blife]

So this is the Petro they envisioned. He is working on D too. Busting his !!! on multiple screens to stay with his man.

 

[ILL-Intentions]

We knew this day would come. Thankfully someone is ready to show

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Z has to box out there.

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Standing under the basket doesn't help on rebounds, Z.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

These clock guys suck…

 

[bluespoon]

Hopefully they start attacking the zone dumping to T in the middle. Worked great last season

This has always been BU blindspot. No motion to his offense and little interior passing (have to get it to the interior to do that). If he has guards like TSJ, they can break down a defense, but if not, his offense stalls.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Great on Petro staying ready.

 

[Jon]

9 more offensive boards and second chance points are tied? Put the ball in the hoop

 

[IlliniFan42]

Does our crowd ever provide any sort of home court advantage? There used to be cheering to rally the team when they were struggling. Now they just sit in silence. That’s a definite factor in some of these sluggish starts too.

Students aren't back yet and the townies have never made noise.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Z has to find his man. Bug bucket by Minny.

Get Robert on the clock !!!

Petro going to have a statement game. You can thank me later...

so far so good

 

[blife]

How do neither Tomi nor Z hit a body on that put back dunk

 

[UCantHideYer]

He came down and clearly tripped on the Goofer player's foot. That's a foul.

Didn’t we have one of those on KJ last year?

 

[FloridaMan]

How does a clock review take 5 minutes?

 

[Miles Leonard]

We get the offensive board and kick it back out to brick another three.

Turning “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” into a techno garbage track should be a felony.


Edit: NOW BON JOVI??? FIRE THIS A$$CLOWN NOW

 

[illinoistradition]

While I appreciate the insights you bring when it comes to recruiting, is there a point to the constant criticism of everyone and everything when the team (who is ranked 13) is having an off game? It’s pretty annoying in these game threads to be honest.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Let’s see what we can draw up here …

My guess: Bricked 3 …

 

[PapaKvells]

This feels like an extra timeout for a team with a 7 man rotation. This should not have taken this long.

 

[JKR]

This is rediculous.

[aaeismacgychel]

Well, I think I see the issue based on that shot. Average age of the crowd appears to be in the mid 80s.

Petro P and R with a twin.
