Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[illinipimp]

It’s gonna be a must see event at this point

If I was Brad I wouldn’t go.

Trying to say anything positive about this team right now. Drawing a blank. Everything is awful, from top to bottom.

 

[Ryllini]

I have a request. Stop with the token pressure. Get back and set your half court defense, get back to fundamentals. We need a reset, hell go back to the perimeter weave we have run the past 3 years.

 

[RockfordIllini]

Oh good. The officials want to take a look at something else…

 

[Illini John]

This game is actually entertaining to watch because you get to see a good team that knows who they are, knows what they need to do and is executing well. Unfortunately the other team doesn't have a clue and they are our every day guys.

Mizz is moving, cutting, passing and getting open looks and of course hitting shots consistently. We dribble out front while at least 3 guys stand and watch while one guy makes a half assed cut. And we do it every time down the floor. Not blocking out. Late to every loose ball. As bad an effort as I've seen since the Nebby game 2012.

Oh and one more thing. I cannot understand why people on here think Coleman Hawkins has NBA potential. Pure fantasy.

 

[Spokane Illini]

This will be dubbed a bad loss in the Tourney resume

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

lol yes, let's extend this game with as many game pauses as possible...

 

[RDS]

We already know what this team is. I love him, but this year is rapidly becoming more about BUs future. He at least needs to put a hard working team on the floor every game and right now he isn’t.

I had Illiniwek tattooed on my arm in 2005, I’ve never been more embarrassed

You’re embarrassed - think of your poor arm!

 

[Wokker]

This train wreck is eerily fascinating to behold

 

[Navy_illini]

Kids on the floor are playing with energy. I like Epps he can shoot and handle the ball. I would put him in the starting line up

 

[Illini8420]

Harris should be starting, I’m dead serious

 

[The Sprouting Divot]

Jan 4 against Northwestern will tell us a lot about this team.

Never even considered the possibility that I might dread attending this game until about an hour ago.

 

[ThetaDragons]

Did Brad lose the team with that interview?

 

[illinipimp]

My apologies to the 89 flying Illini for suggesting after the UCLA game that this team reminded me of them.

 

[BretMyBeachHouse]

You’re overrating our talent. Not saying we shouldn’t be better than what we’re showing tonight. But we’re not nearly as loaded as some have convinced themselves

Especially the players.

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

The group on the floor right now should start the next game.

 

[Krush]

This will be dubbed a bad loss in the Tourney resume

Lol.. tourney..

 

[WWWWRocU]

Kobe Brown channeling Kobe Bryant tonight.

 

[jumpingjack]

We don't need to get jobbed but we certainly deserve it.
Harris shouldn't come off the court.

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

Did someone spike the Gatorade with Xanax?

 

[ThetaDragons]

You’re embarrassed - think of your poor arm!

I’m good my guy. I love these guys and the program, my arm is good

 

[WhiteRhino]

There is alot of one on one ball being played by our guys.

Illinois: 15 Turnovers, 8 Assists
Missouri: 21 Assists, 9 Turnovers
