Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[urbanachiever]

Bardo has the rare combination of being cringy to listen to while also being wrong about basically everything he says

We've given them hope by letting up on defense. Lock it back down!

 

[CentralILifer]

I really hate when there is a team timeout and then a TV timeout right after it.

 

[illiniguy24]

We need a bucket and a defensive kill here (3 consecutive stops)

Rutgers getting to rim way to easy. Might not change the outcome tonight, but could be a problem going forward.

Harper Jr, with his size and skill set, is an awful matchup for us. DW isn't big enough and JG isn't physical enough to keep him from doing what he wants to do. That position is THE flaw defensively with our team.

What's with all the timeouts?! Gahhh!

Harper pushes off so much in the lane

Haven't seen so many players since Cassius Winston use that much arm to work their way by players. Refs in this league need to start calling more like the rest of the NCAA - our teams will be screwed when we get into the tourney.

He is sacrosanct with respect to La Bamba.

Belo being a freshman today... no points, rebounds, or assists so far.

We should try doubling to get the ball out his hands. If the refs continue to let him use his off arm to muscle by the defender, he's going to keep getting to the rim at will.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Another foul on Johnson or Young would be beneficial about now.

Nothing worse than a team time out seconds before a media time out

That has to be demoralizing for the Scarlet Knights

Well he did miss like 15 minutes of the first half, that didn't help. Jacob Young has been in his pocket all game too. I have nothing but respect for that dude. He's a baller.

I was thinking about Kofi's FT%. He makes up for it with that kind of "shooting" %!

 

[urbanachiever]

lmao they've stopped even trying to block out Kofi

 

[Illini_Jack]

Rutgers, I'm no basketball coach, but leaving Kofi untouched under the basket is probably a bad idea

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Closing time for Ayo!

No armored personnel carriers nearby in downtown Indy, apparently.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Hahaha

Mulcahy fouling out and walking to the bench with Krush in the house is the schadenfreude we all need.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Baylor down one to OSU with 4:22 left.

 

[CentralILifer]

That was a really good contest by Grandison even though he fouled.

 

[skyIdub]

Kofi literally almost killed Curbelo there!
