Game Thread: Illinois vs Oakland

[Iamgroot]

I really hope we were just over looking Oakland I know we will grow and get better as a team but this type of play just can't be acceptable especially if our goals is to hang banners.cause if we play like this the rest of the year we're justing going to hang L

Interesting. As far as the TV crew thinks Vilnius is from C-U, you can fly non-stop to Chicago for $308 or 298 with a stop in Charlotte or Dallas. Cheaper than flying to either coast. Round Trip.

Rather struggle today vs next Wednesday, but KB is really making horrible decisions on O

I'm not seeing the same thing as you. Personally, I think he's been our best quarterback tonight, he's just really struggling with his shot and is in his own head a bit on that end of the floor because of it. He's just trying to fight through it and in my opinion doing a pretty good job of it

Boswell = Ballhawk

KB still has just 1 foul. His defense looks great.

Id like to see who the closer is on this team

The refs are really letting Oakland beat us up with no calls

Will is the one who tipped it with his other hand

You are right. Went back and re-watched. I stand corrected.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Shots just not falling tonight.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Smacking a guy in the face now legal apparently

We are not even trying to crash the boards on offense-whatsoever.

On defense TI (and others) get pushed under the rim WAY too much.

Biggest issues are we've been very cold shooting it and we're a jumpshooting team, and we've got a very young team seeing a zone defense for the first time as a group.

Good lord....the Euros gonna be on a series of posters

We are being out hustled and out toughed right now. Playing a lot of one on one ball while also trying to run 3 man actions in a zone setting.. This is a coaching issue today. Adjustments need to be made by Tyler.


And where is the energy? We are very heavy footed today, not even trying to push the ball up court anymore

17 TO's for both teams so far. We need to clean that up

Barnhart: "It's not artistic tonight."

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We've gotten a kind non whistle these past few possessions as we're fouling the piss out of them and there's no call.

Riley gets my vote....or Ben with a three on a kick.
