Game Thread: Illinois vs Sam Houston

[azillini1]

Rebounding again an issue against a smaller and much less talented team

 

[JKR]

9 steals by Illinois

 

[Miles Leonard]

Sam Houston in the bonus with 13 minutes left. Oh boy.

 

[Epsilon]

Love to see the selfless ball on fast breaks.

 

[skyIdub]

Can no one stay on their feet after a layup?
Wtf

 

[BoiseBaller]

This officiating is uneven to say the least.

 

[Illinisnake]

Why aren’t we crashing the boards or going anymore??

 

[blife]

How many times are we going to let them go right down the lane to the rim. FFS cut that sh&t off

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We really stole one with Ethan Brown. He is going to be very good for us. Just does a lot of the right things

 

[Jon]

9 steals by Illinois

Any good stat is so infuriating right now. 9 steals and we're up 8?

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Never in my life have I heard such a half !!! cheering crowd.

That that is as loud as they get is just sad and pathetic

 

[DICKnaggie]

SV is actually really good in the paint. Need more of that.

 

[RDS]

8 fouls on us and 3 on them? Ok

 

[skyIdub]

Z is so much better at rim protection than T it’s ridiculous. Like…you’re the same human.

 

[ChiTown]

Over 12 minutes left and they are already in the bonus.

 

[JKR]

Z making that 3 may prove to be a problem. Now he's feeling it.

We might end up with another defensive coordinator firing… Brad has been giving Cam Crocker hell on the bench in a pretty uncomfortable way

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I thought maybe after Z knocked that first 3 down it’d break the seal. Clearly it did not.

 

[New Creation]

Alabama didn't pull away until late on thus team. SamH is better than we think. but we aren't playing well. I think the crowd has alot to do with it

 

[FloridaMan]

Best news I've heard in DAYS...maybe weeks

 

[ChiTown]

He might need to fire the rebounding coach too.

He is going to struggle a bit with better teams I think. He gets thrown around on defense. But yeah, he is going to be really good once he gets Fletch'd.

I share the krush/crowd ire for real games but I wouldn't expect them to be fired up for Sam Houston State let alone when we're up by a couple points

As he should. I love the matchup zone but our inability to guard the most common offense in basketball is inexcusable given that was our bread and butter.
