Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[hiberto]

Is anyone going to show some semblance of effort on defense? How many damn wide open shots are you going to give up?

 

[CDRUSN]

Hard to say what is more entertaining and enjoyable. Watching this team partially try to play basketball, or taking out my own appendix with a warm spoon. Probably a coin flip at this point.

we might have one upped Iowa on the embarrassment level this week

 

[jumpingjack]

Absolutely gutless performance.

 

[spillini]

Five out = never cut

 

[Stevegarbs]

Laziest team EVER. I'm out.

 

[USAFILLINI]

Don’t know how anyone makes excuses for the product BU put on the floor. Blame the players all you want but he’s the guy getting Millions to get this figured out

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

One of the most disappointing halves in the history of Illinois basketball

 

[PNWIllini]

Now theyre throwing it in the ocean

 

[HailtotheChief]

So glad I stayed home

 

[SaintLIllini]

just gotta hope to make the tournament and see what happens we are not a tournament team

 

[madillini4]

At a loss for words

 

[Illini_Jack]

This is embarrassing

 

[FloridaMan]

Exhibit A of coming to a game, unprepared, piss poor attitude, terrible body language, no hustle and letting an inferior team start feeling confident and getting your doors blown off as a result. Totally unacceptable for players who are now being paid to play the game the right way. Pathetic.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Embarrasing

 

[FromTheLogo]

I got to say... this is a bit surprising.

 

[Navy_illini]

8 possession game. Time to turn it on

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Dainja is the only guy who came to play. Bench all the starters for the entire second half. This team is really bad right now.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

I have watched a lot of Illinois basketball over the years and I don’t remember a team quitting like this before.

Not under Brad, not under Groce, not under Weber. Certainly not under Self.

Our worst half of basketball in a decade?

 

[Illini4life79]

Everyone having a career night against us lately.

Because there is no damn defense. Open shots equal made shots

 

[Voice of Reason]

What in the world is Underwood doing? Another awful effort. This is on the coaching staff. Wake up Underwood and take control of this team.

 

[blife]

Down 25 at half. Not sure my brain will allow me to watch this disaster for another half

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

The most embarrassing half of Illinois basketball I’ve ever watched. This “offense” is a freaking joke. But I’m sure Brad will throw the players under then us again. Look in the mirror pal.

 

[Champaign88]

Coaching staff has lost the team.

 

[KCBassin]

Bubble team at best might not make it to the second half.
