Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[LvilleILL]

That should be our starting lineup next game

I'm gonna say it and I mean it. Matthew Mayer is about himself

The attitude I’ve worried about from him is: “I’ve already won a championship and you haven’t. I don’t have to listen to you.”

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

Epps looking good

If there is an answer for this team, Epps and Harris are a part of it.
They are who we need to build around.
We miss Luke.

Doesn't Mizzou understand that we beat UCLA and Texas? This is just disrespectful.

He won a title with Baylor. Do you really think he gives a damn about the name on the front of his jersey now?

Mo will never shoot like this again this year.

I’m gonna riot if Sencire isn’t starting next game

I ordered custom jerseys a week ago - one for me and one for my stepson. And the NIL t-shirts too. Love that kid.

Bull, he is likely our most talented player. I would be frustrated too. He was open several times and players forced shots instead of passing to him.
Coleman and RJ need to start playing harder and to their ability instead of poorly. There is a reason RJ is playing less and less and Hawk is finally on the bench for error after error.
We are playing better with Hawk and RJ in the bench.

Sorry I turned off the game with 5 minutes to go in the first half.. who is on the floor?

 

[Illini in Indiana]

RJ, Skyy, & Hawkins need to earn playing time

 

[Illini1977]

Mo will never shoot like this again this year.

The question is why is this said every week, just plug in whatever team we’re playing

 

[ThetaDragons]

This is our worst loss this year if you agree, like.

 

[doowink]

It's hard for me to understand just how badly our offense has regressed in the last 4-5 games

 

[ThetaDragons]

With Christmas right here, is this even real?

 

[Ramrod2010]

Sorry I turned off the game with 5 minutes to go in the first half.. who is on the floor?

Probably nobody that started this game.

Deservedly

 

[NASchamp]

Anyone have stats on weak fouls / and-1s allowed? We gotta be up there….

Clark and RJ have not scored in a combined 31 minutes. CH has 4 points. What has happened to RJ?

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

Bull, he is likely out most talented player. I would be frustrated too. He was open several times and players forced shots instead of passing to him.

No question about his talent, but he commits too many dumb fouls and forgets he has teammates too often. However, Not much chance of scoring enough w/o him.
Hawkins & RJ might as well have stayed home.

His talent absolutely has nothing to do with it. Talent only can carry a player so far. I will choose a lesser talented player with the right attitude and effort over the vice versa. Again his talent isn't what I'm questioning.

 

[ThetaDragons]

I get being taken by surprise but who expected this?

And Clark. He has been awful, as well.

This was the “we know where we’re really at” game. Sheesh guys, it’s not good
