Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas

[thehass]

I feel like I've seen this movie before.
Got to close out better on shooters.
Skyy looks a little (not a lot) discombobulated.

Love discombobulated.

It really disturbs me when Hawkins shoots an air ball. He was either fouled or took a bad/rushed shot. He does not shoot air balls when he has time. That one was rushed, quick, out of sync, and should not have been taken.

Fouls are piling up early on us

Averaging one foul per minute = no bueno

 

[logjam]

No offensive plan it seems....let's feed Dainja for a bit....

 

[Spokane Illini]

Slow down guys. Work your offensive sets

Texas just looks good. Every look they’re getting I think is about to go down.

yes they do but we are right there with them despite playing erratic & out of control lol which makes it a bit frustrating to watch. I need to keep reminding myself how many new faces we have on this team and how early it is in the season.

For those of us not able to watch, please update score. Thanks

Dainja is such a load on the blocks

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Really not liking our 3pt defense thus far. Texas shooters are wide the hell open getting in rhythm shots. Need to be better.

 

[Turnlaw]

Horrible charge call

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Far too many mistakes early.

 

[Epsilon]

That dude was moving smh

 

[sully]

For those of us not able to watch, please update score. Thanks

9 to 13 Texas 13:43 left in the 1st

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Great defensively.

Look out of sorts early on offense.

 

[jumpingjack]

Beautiful defensive possession by us, MM is coming along

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We're 7 minutes in and I can already say this is by far Mayer's best game of the season by a long shot.

 

[Jon]

Think we're selling out to block shots too much. giving up threes and easier rebounds

 

[Epsilon]

So he launches his body to the paint and it’s a foul?
Edit: Melendez went straight up.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Losing turnover and foul battle like this will lead to a loss. Gotta tighten up.

 

[derrick6]

Can they stop with the Michael Meyers already!!! Last game they were say MAY instead of MY but dang!

 

[wcrasta2]

Who is Michael Mayer?

 

[727ill]

What offense are we running?

 

[jumpingjack]

Texas is getting away with a ton of contact but still gotta keep attacking downhill. The calls will come.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Not a great start, yet again.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Really shocking no foul on Texas there.
