Game Thread: Illinois vs Syracuse

[krushalot2005]

Real question, why are we wearing our whites?

4 for 16 from the floor... woof

 

[hoopsfan47]

Man...why chuck 3s when they cannot stop inside passing?

 

[Scoregasm]

Shooting is woof

 

[SAVAGE56OL]

Crappy shooting. Hopefully they fix it

 

[FloridaMan]

This announcer loves him some Syracuse. Where do they find these guys?

Agreed!!!

At least we’re rebounding well, but dang we can’t hit anything. I’m also not sure the all freshman + Dain lineup is gonna lead to instant offense, but what do I know.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Get the ball inside. Good things happen.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

On the one hand, I really like that BU has the confidence in the freshmen to play them all at the same time against Cuse's zone. On the other, ehhhh wasn't great. But hey, solid learning experience for them.

The only trick SU has is to bait you into taking a bad three instead of waiting for a good one. Don’t like seeing us bite.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Let’s maybe stop jacking up 3’s

ESPN. Losing B1G soon.

 

[hoopsfan47]

The two Ps will destroy SU....Patience and Passing....not bombing and bombing. Need to pressure them defensively in half court...they don't handle well.

 

[amillini#2]

Impressive how tightly and actively Harris guards without committing dumb freshman fouls. Can’t take my eyes off him even when he’s on a guy off the ball.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Ball is moving too slow. But open shots are coming. Just need to make them at s better clip.

The Newhouse School of Journalism, probably.

 

[21ChampaignSt]

Would like to see Hawkins, Dain, and Rodgers take the 10-12 footer in the middle of zone. At least get it on the rim and then crash the glass against the zone.

 

[Butters]

Well at least we aren't turning it over... gotta make shots.

 

[NJJ871]

This is a half-a$$ effort so far

 

[IlliniForceOne]

The one thing you can’t do against the Syracuse zone is shoot the 3 ball poorly.

Illinois: 1-9

 

[Illini8420]

I'd like to see TSJ try to attack a bit and see if he can create

 

[BDMAN]

Is Brad going to acknowledge the hurt player

 

[hiberto]

Is Brad going to acknowledge the hurt player

that's what I was thinking. sencire on the court hobbling around and everyone just staring at him not doing jack

 

[Coop70]

Being lazy, no lane occupation, throwing up threes, not blocking out.
