Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[808Illini]

I wish we could hit 3s like they can.

Drink every time we go under on a screen.

Trent is rolling in his collegiate grave.

Brad and Chester may have a stroke if we go under one more screen, and I’m right there with them.

 

[Godard]

NW looks like they should be ranked in the first 5 mins. We have 35 mins to join them...

 

[Icy veins]

Getting PSU PTSD

 

[Chillinini]

Still can’t defend the perimeter. Go under, not behind the screen.

 

[Illini-Rule]

How was that not a moving pick on the last 3 that Booboo made?

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I feel like we've seen this before. Maybe there's a reason teams shoot the lights out against us.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Apparently they didn't learn from the game in Evanston that going underneath the screen ends up poorly?

Nicholson is moving and clearing each time. Never is set.

Get behind early and let them get complacent. Then we come roaring back and demolish them. That’s my plan.

I love the he immediately points to 2 FRESHMEN of all people who he knows won’t.

It was…very obviously

 

[Jimbo]

There’s still time to get back in this game.

Season 3 pt percentages:

Illinois .316
Northwestern .309

I'm not sweating it. They've hit some early on, but they're not a very good shooting team. They're barely 40% overall on the season.

 

[Dragons89]

Dain shoved on last drive….no call.

 

[NASchamp]

I mean. Yikes, this start.

 

[eas23]

My God, do we lead the country in guys just losing the ball out of bounds?

 

[PNWIllini]

Do we guard outside shooters or not

 

[Illini-Rule]

There was the obligatory long a#% 3 that Coleman takes every game.

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

That’s been our plan all season. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

 

[FloridaMan]

WTF are we doing defensively? Man, this team drives me bananas.

 

[Illini8420]

Of course they’re hitting everything to start

 

[azillini1]

They can't shoot like this the entire game ... can they?
