Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[BBlock24]

Ugly

 

[New Creation]

Another missed 3

 

[NarrowJ]

Rutgers making a lot of the long 2s.

Refs really swallowing the whistle today which works in Rutgers favor.

And letting Mulcahy shoot uncontested free throws is also a good idea.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

hey let’s give up 40 points on the same play again like Iowa. Inexcusable

 

[ILLFAN67]

Has Meyer hit a shot?

 

[ChiTown]

This drop coverage is giving up so many easy midrange cheapies for Rutgers.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Never thought I'd say this but Shannon can't guard Mulcahy.

 

[RML]

We're generally limiting them to tough shots. I like our chances

 

[NarrowJ]

Has Meyer hit a shot?

0 for 6

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Has Meyer hit a shot?

Not yet, I don't think.

 

[New Creation]

This drop coverage is giving up so many easy midrange cheapies for Rutgers.

And IOWA

 

[Flyin' Illini]

So we come out of a timeout and shoot 2 threes?

 

[BBlock24]

Keep shooting 3’s by all means. Embarrassing.

 

[Dragons89]

Shannon goes under the screen and the screener shoves him into the paint. We suck at the high ball screen.

 

[ILLFAN67]

We are not playing good D and not fighting through picks. Shannon has to stay on his feet

 

[DICKnaggie]

I can't believe our shot selection especially out of a timeout.

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

I know a team can’t take away everything the opposition does… that said, I get irritated when we give up wide open mid range j’s

 

[RML]

We do gotta start hitting some shots

 

[New Creation]

Two more missed 3s

 

[SuperMetroid]

 

[hoopsfan47]

These refs are awful, goodness.

Other than a missed call, they have had no bearing on the Illini's poor play.

 

[NarrowJ]

Complaining after every non-call just gets you trolled by the refs. Shannon needs to just put his head down and work.

 

[New Creation]

Finally got a foul. Even though TSJ was just bailed out there.
