Game Thread: Illinois vs Morehead State

[The Galloping Ghost]

Whelp, we know we can keep this up. The question is, can Morehead? Doubt it.

 

[GallopingGhost]

The halftime speech is- how bad do you want it?

 

[FloridaMan]

Think we are in good shape, but sure didn't like our offense the last 3 minutes.

really wish Marcus had seen Coleman on the inbounds there, our pattern of inbounding adventures continues...

 

[Fighting I 95]

Another bad start and end to a half. We always do this and one these are the games we wont make it out of.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Definitely want to see more Dain in the second half.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Need to come out of halftime aggressive and force them to stop the drive

 

[RoundBalcs]

Feed Big D.

 

[sacraig]

39 in a half is decent but giving up 38 to Morehead is not. Our mid-season defense is rearing it's head.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Tsj needs to stop settling. Rack up fouls on them and make them work.

Yeah, that wasn't a great end of the half for him. Missed two open threes and that last runner.

Well.....did anyone think this was going to be easy with this group?

 

[Gbpack]

We got 5 guys standing around the 3 point line don’t get to the paint!!

 

[RML]

We took DGL out for Rodgers on that last 6.5 second possession? I guess anticipating a possible rebound situation?

 

[grantlab]

Given how the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half have started our last 3 trips, I am nervous to say the least on how we respond

 

[BBlock24]

Shocked we held them to below 40 tbh. Small victories.

 

[BWBW]

Quincy should be able to contribute in the second half.

 

[Coop70]

Terrance Shanahan

Definitely B level annouce team here.

 

[BRucks]

More Dain.

 

[Orangetool]

We gave our opponent a gift: confidence.

We will have to come out of the half with intensity and take care of the ball.

up 1 to the OVC team, that lost by 30 to Purdue. Time to look like you are interested in advancing. Why are we are initiating our offense about 8 feet farther out than we normally do.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Weathered the storm from morehead state early.

Need to clean up the turnovers but should be able to win this one at the Illini's pace.

 

[Heisenbobble]

I'm worried about this one. Not gonna lie.

 

[LurkerintheOpen]

Is Ty any good?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

TJ 2/7 on threes, 5/6 on twos. Hello.

39 in a half is decent but giving up 38 to Morehead is not. Our mid-season defense is rearing it's head.

38 to an OVC team is really disappointing. You can especially hear it in Brads voice.
