Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas Tech

[Epsilon]

Stoj got a hand on his hand

 

[FromTheLogo]

Uh-oh

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Taking so many bad shots, relax, run the offense

 

[PopChampaign]

I’m pissed, seems so avoidable.

 

[FoundersClub]

Game of runs, let’s hope.

 

[NarrowJ]

This team is shook

 

[BBlock24]

I thought TT wouldn’t go away but not like this

 

[Battle89]

???

TT is 11 for 11. What boards?

Offensive. Jeez.

 

[illiniguy24]

What in the world….

 

[LuckyIllini]

Hey Brad how about a timeout?????

 

[Epsilon]

Yeah you can’t push a player into a screen geez

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Much better defense that possession

 

[DeeIL89]

TT making buckets and we are answering with bad shot selection. That's how you lost a lead.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Good teams weather momentum shifts! Let’s go, boys!

 

[FloridaMan]

Need all three of these Boswell!

 

[madillini4]

Stagnant offense. Veteran move from Boswell there.

 

[sacraig]

I honestly feel like that shouldn't be allowed to be a defensive foul... but I'll take it.

 

[illinifanclassof17]

Boswell keeping us alive with his toughness

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Big senior play there by Kylan earning the foul on the 3

 

[Ryllini]

I’ll take the 3 shots. Ball had a little more zip on that possession.

 

[madcrazeeballa]

Move the ball on offense

 

[illinifan1987]

This is when Captain Boswell needs to step up. Jumping into him on a 3 is a good start

 

[SuperMetroid]

Yeah you can’t push a player into a screen geez

Watts is a master of the ‘two-hand shove screen’

 

[Champaign88]

If he makes 45% of them it's OK with me

There’s absolutely zero evidence that the pick and pop three when Ben barely has his feet set and is only mildly open is anywhere close to 45%. He only shot 34% on all threes last year and that iteration is not one of his best shots.

I’ll let him shoot full court shots every possession if he makes them at 45%. The point is he flat out does not shoot 45% on that shot.

 

[IceCuban]

Why did we take the ball out of Stojakovic's hands? Why did we stop doubling Toppin? Why did our offense just turn off? Baffling...
