Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[Jon]

Can we just catch a rebound instead of just bat it around for a few seconds?

 

[ThePortalMadeMeDoIt]

Grab a damn rebound!

 

[FoundersClub]

We’d be up 10+ if we could rebound

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Rebounding is massive drop off from last year. God I miss Morez.

EVERY rebound to Tennessee right now

 

[LurkerintheOpen]

We're big and suck at rebounding. Soft.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Getting destroyed on the boards.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Because it was 8

LOL! How true!

 

[Flyin' Illini]

We are way better than these guys.

Need Ty back

 

[curtmoss]

Stop the ping ponging of rebounds. Grab the damn ball

 

[Chad Fleck]

Rebounding is a problem.

 

[TheodoreRex]

We are seriously so soft...21-10 rebounds... Getting straight abused. So far- against big time teams- we've been out physicalled and out toughed by Bama, Uconn, and Tennessee.

 

[FloridaMan]

Tired of seeing no fight or effort on the boards. No toughness on defense. Dribbling with no purpose on offense. This sucks.

 

[Bert2022]

Getting killed on the boards but we are also getting the sh@t fouled out of us!!

 

[Oracle21]

Getting absolutely punked on the offensive glass

 

[NarrowJ]

Tenn 21-10 rebound advantage

We’d be up 12… come on guys

 

[UCantHideYer]

Losing the officiating battle & the race to the loose balls is a bad combo.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Ty has a place in this rotation if he can get healthy. We need his rebounding and willingness to get on the floor.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

Refs = trash
ESPN = trash
Jellyroll interview = trash

Good guys should be up double digits if this game was called fair.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Love that even the SEC homers couldn’t help but comment on how well Illini fans traveled! Makes me think the Vols’ turnout for this would have been quite embarrassing without Illini Nation! Proud of our fans, once again.

Let’s get this W.

 

[WolfpackIllini]

Seems like we don't move enuf on offense

 

[ChiTown]

We’re losing the physicality fight when I paint and on rebounding.

 

[skyIdub]

It's almost like they're trying to grab a jelly roll.

 

[DeeIL89]

Do better with defensive rebounds! Vols with too many second chance opportunities.

 

[BrownTown]

Has there been a foul called on the Illinois side of the court yet? Seriously can't remember any. All Vols fouls have been on offensive end
