Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas

[jumpingjack]

Plenty of time, but I'm not gonna complain if TJ puts on the cape

“Texas is a no-middle team” as we cut into the lane and draw a goaltend.

Lot of elite athletes on the floor....and too much for the officials to see.

 

[Naborman88]

So much standing around on offense. Do none of the coaches see what is going on?

 

[BlindLoyalty]

The boys looked gassed. Hope they find their second wind soon.

Our offense has struggled the whole game. We just happened to make 5 isolation threes in the first half. Water found its level in the second half. Texas is a great defensive team, so that’s not really a knock on our guys. But will need at least one more hot run to get this one.

We have only 1 guy hitting outside shots tonight. We need more than just one guy if we are going to win this. Our guards just are not hitting shots.

A 1/4 triple double still counts if it's in four successive games, right?

 

[jumpingjack]

Need a Mayer -Coleman - Harris - TJ - Skyy lineup out there and just beat them up at the rim for awhile. Make the refs make the calls through sheer will.

 

[sully]

Thankfully we are a team that is capable of going on runs. Now would be the time guys!

 

[IceCuban]

Jeez, some calls don't go your way and you miss a few shots and they're ready to get on the plane and go home. Need a spark.

Methinks TS Jr. has lost some confidence in his release point beyond the arc. Also floating at times. Both make shooting beyond the arc very difficult at best.

 

[ThetaDragons]

We look tired.

 

[Godard]

Since they just played a clip from the speech during commercial:

My fav part is the end, where he goes over time, the music swells, and he shouts "Don't play me off!" RIP Jimmy V...you will never be forgotten.

 

[skyIdub]

Oh look another charge.

 

[D1959]

Game is getting away from us

 

[ThetaDragons]

4 offensive fouls. wow

His mid-range game used to be his bread and butter, feels like he's lost a little of that

 

[Baskins Tiger]

THAT WAS A BLOCK..

 

[New Creation]

That was a moving block as well.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Somebody help me, how are the refs so bad if the fouls are 5:5 in the half so far?

 

[SuperMetroid]

What’s the record for charges in a game?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

No effing way is that a charge. None. None.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Woof. We need to get it together and fast or we are headed for a 20 point loss.

 

[jumpingjack]

4 offensive fouls. wow

That's insane.
