Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[JJHUI79]

Skyy lookin like the frosh that he is

 

[Oldtimer59]

If this is the best effort that a team that talks "big 10 championship" produces...this team isn't even in the conversation

 

[JJE]

This team has major issues. Major, major, major issues. Did I mention major issues?

 

[illiniguy24]

No effort. No offense. No leadership.

 

[Illini4life79]

We have 0 assists.

Everything is one on one. No movement, no cutting, defense is just as bad. Standing and watching, no communicating. Awful

 

[FromTheLogo]

If they keep this to 20 points down I'll feel better.

Edit: should have said 30.

This is a team that has tuned out the coaches. Just like CoHawk said in his interview. They are winging it.

The house is on fire.

Yeah we don’t deserve to be ranked rn. We’re working on fixing that lol.

If you watch the Alabama A&M game… Brad was yelling at a player coming out of the game. Mayer was on the bench covering his face as he laughed uncontrollably at Brad (with the players next to him enjoying the humor). These NIL/wannabe-NBA mercenaries are a bad mix with Brad’s style.

I saw this as well and was confused when Mayer called out other players laughing on the bench in his post game press conference

 

[AT6]

I am not watching the second half.

 

[jumpingjack]

What in the hell is going on with these guys?

 

[grantlab]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I’m done.

 

[PNWIllini]

Dejected. Shook. Intimated. Outclassed.

We’ve lost this game unless our body language takes a 180. Won’t happen.

It better. They convinced themselves they’re NBA worthy or nearly so. Need to back it up.

 

[illinoistradition]

I’m of the opinion that Brad should sit down and leave it to the players to figure out. They know so much and are as good as they think they are? Great, figure it out then. Yelling isn’t working, so a shift in attitude has to happen.

The saddest thing is I have just become disinterested at this point. There’s no chemistry, no guys playing as team players, no fun offense. It’s boring.

 

[blife]

How can we not secure a missed free throw. This looks like an AAU team not my Beloved. Attitude and effort is fing AAU level at best. Pathetic

 

[Epsilon]

Everyone having a career night against us lately.

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

Let it burn

 

[HailtotheChief]

We had some good looks fr three n miss them. We miss them n we struggle.

 

[Lincster27]

Can Brad get two quick T's and get thrown out to give one of the other coaches a chance?

 

[RDS]

Total embarrassment

 

[illini80]

Mayer has a ton of talent, but I really wonder sometimes if he helps this team.

 

[azillini1]

After last night, good thing we played EIU early in the year!

 

[JJHUI79]

I do appreciate that Dain is working hard when he's in there..

 

[SuperMetroid]

LOL screw this. Goodnight

 

[TheChief4Life]

We're gonna lose by 60, aren't we?

 

[Epsilon]

Holy F.
Are we division iii?
