Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

[LJ22]

Right. Like when we didn’t fight back against northwestern. And then again against Purdue.

Ok, we can compromise on the "Sometimes fighting for 20 minutes" Illini.

 

[RickBB]

Just get this game over with without anyone getting hurt. Win a couple games by dumb luck and get to the 2nd weekend and all will be forgiven.

This game is not on MM.......Others have to make plays and shoot the basketball. Our coaches have to do a better job.

Literally everyone else on the team shot the ball better than he did today.

So penn state is 20-12 and so are we, and they’ve owned us 3 times. Why are we in and they’re a bubble team. Makes no sense.

We beat ucla and Texas. They didn’t.

Not sure what the team is built for

Well, they're doing solid on the NIL front

 

[D1959]

We just don’t make plays

No we just don’t make free throws

 

[HailtotheChief]

Realistically, we weren't winning 4 games in a row. We can hardly put 2 halves together. PSU needed this game for their season to continue.

So you want quitters? They had plenty to play for. Whatever, they played hard but not focused. Losing is not good thing.

Will this be the most disappointing season for an illini basketball since when?

Sure, leave Funk wide open. I'm sure that will go well.

Please explain to me why Funk wasn’t given a T for his nap time gesture. No different than taunting.

Literally everyone else on the team shot the ball better than he did today.

LIterally no one else on the team has 8 rebounds. It isn't all about shooting percentage.

 

[BBlock24]

We’ll get them in the final four!!!

 

[Eternal Optimist]

Maybe our IQ is too smart for basketball?

 

[Rudd21]

Fewer athletes and more Andrew Funks in next years portal.

Or just keep a Podz and don’t recruit over him with the latest NIL highest bidder toy

That decade where we were a non factor?

2018. Let’s not forget how long of a history of sucking we have endured.

 

[KCBassin]

Why we didn't iso coleman with Pickett guarding him every possession I will never understand. That's what they did to us..

Weber's last year?

Nah, he was butt today.

Too many dumb players?

 

[logjam]

We beat ucla and Texas. They didn’t.

 

[Deep]

They have a bunch of MEN and we look like BOYS

So Penn State is our Daddy. Cool. Cool, cool, cool.
