Game Thread: Illinois vs Morehead State

[BBlock24]

Jesus how about playing some defense? It’s never too late to start

Defense is overrated

 

[GetAWin]

It's uncanny how teams seem to shoot so well against us especially in the 1st half.

It's called defense

 

[OB positive]

Are the refs going to call over the back? We have good position nearly every rebound.

 

[AdamFletchersBicep]

Did we need that from Goode

Yes

 

[spillini]

Dain got bumped on that rebound. If he gets forced out of bounds like that, there really should be a call.

Guessing the foul call disparity was a factor (we have been clean though)

 

[battle]

They are over the back every rebound

For years refs allow more of this and hands inNCAAT

 

[FleetFeetIllini]

Got punched in the mouth but responded. Time to make a push

 

[azillini1]

Shannon only starter to score 8 minutes into the game. Need CH and MD to get going

 

[uofi7477]

Just weather the storm, it will be fine.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Dain making a great effort on the glass.

 

[FloridaMan]

MD seems very tentative for some reason. Nerves maybe

 

[cs04]

Terrence wants to win

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Refs really letting them bump. Can't believe there wasn't a foul on that TSJ steal.

 

[BBlock24]

Have to start grabbing defensive rebounds. Zach Edey isn’t out there.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Refs really letting them bump. Can't believe there wasn't a foul on that TSJ steal.

We got away with one there.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

TSJ ain't ready to go home yet.

 

[hoopsfan47]

TSJr. the only starter to score so far.

 

[cs04]

I hate that they let the screener basically grab the defender and push them towards the hoop on those

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Foul on Harmon such garbage there.

 

[FloridaMan]

Be nice if somebody decided to help TJ a little bit. Dain on the bench no one else stepping up. Let's go!!

 

[biglug58]

After all that, a ticky tack foul on Harmon??

 

[BBlock24]

When was the last time Harmon made a 3?

 

[NarrowJ]

How does Harmon get called for that after the bumps they're allowing from Morehead?

Previous possession their guy just wiped out our defender with a push.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

We need that Coleman today.

 

[cs04]

Coleman!
