Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[hoopsfan47]

Out hustled, out coached and zero focus.

Spot on. This requires an uphill battle that I cannot see the Ilini winning based on the presented sample.

 

[Champaign88]

Should have called a time out at 11-4 and not waited until 20-8. Get it together Brad!

 

[Jon]

Zvonimir can't be chasing steals on the perimeter

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Illinois's answer to zone....launch 30 footers

 

[curtmoss]

Tyler’s offensive schemes are not great. Way too much weak perimeter passing with no looks to the paint. We’ve only looked really good in one game - when we got the ball to the lane, even if we kicked it back out.

 

[Hope For The Best!!!]

Seems we overestimated our guys appreciation of the opponent being undefeated and looking for more. They didn’t come here to lose.

 

[chudaman]

Why not give Petrovic some tick? The offense is too stagnant.

 

[PopChampaign]

This might be the early B1G loss at home that lights a fire under this team.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Look really bad against this zone!!!!

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Simply has to be on Brad at some point to have more than 1-2 games per year where we come out flat.

 

[ChiIllini75]

Big Z doinking a dunk sums up this game nicely.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

This might be the early B1G loss at home that lights a fire under this team.

(Which they shouldn’t need…)

 

[hiberto]

how do you miss that dunk??

 

[hoopsfan47]

Having your 7'2" big missing and unguarded dunk is not a recipe for success.

 

[FloridaMan]

Do we ever practice against a zone defense? Middle is wide open and we are content to toss it around the perimeter and jack a late three. Grade school stuff man.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Offense has no off ball movement today. So easy to defend.

 

[HailtotheChief]

That! Guards need to drive the ball and if they don't put in Mihailo and let him try.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Why is Tomi dribbling?

 

[doowink]

Our zone offense less than spectacular at this time

 

[JJE]

Just absolutely sleeping walking through this game. Maybe they’ll wake up when we are down 20.

 

[NASchamp]

That was a great defensive possession

 

[BDMAN]

I cannot watch this effort checking out will be back SMH!!!!

 

[Flyin' Illini]

7 ft 2 getting stuffed by the rim is not something you see every day.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Finally a made wide open 3

 

[GTL Adam]

Tomi has been such a disappointment this season
