Game Thread: Illinois vs UCLA

[Orangetool]

Eat clock, one score, go home.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Wow. Highly entertaining if it weren’t for the heart palpitations.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

GET. BEN. OUT.

 

[illinifan1987]

 

[DeeIL89]

Our defense has been pathetic! Unexcusable!

 

[ChiTown]

Lack of defense.

 

[aveseaboy]

Why does Ben get so much playing time? He does nothing out there

 

[STLflyinIllini]

I don't understand humidifier in over Morez. He's a valley player

 

[Heisenbobble]

UCLA is hitting every goddamn shot.

What do you expect? They're wide open.

 

[ILL-Intentions]

Stop jacking wild, contested, or step back threes. I know he made one but low percentage. Then they can’t miss. Ugly

 

[Illiniam1984]

Wtf is with this team. No killer instinct

 

[jacekpardol]

Keep giving Ben and Bos all these late game mins Brad. You’d think he’d learn his lesson.

 

[FromTheLogo]

UCLA is on a HEATER. WOW.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Could have played Morez earlier for some defense, before we needed free throws

 

[hiberto]

What is this run? 10 straight makes for UCLA? 11?

13-0 run I think

 

[phats22]

Why does Ben get so much playing time? He does nothing out there

and lost track of Skyy on that 3

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Ridiculous fadeaway from KJ away from a 13-0 run by UCLA in the final critical minutes?! Unacceptable, guys. That’s straight-up letting your foot off the gas.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

No turnovers and hit free throws. Please.

But we still have some major issues.

 

[WeWillWhen]

We had a 16 point lead with under 5 mins, right?

 

[thehass]

We are elite at blowing leads

We invented it.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

you can't relax

 

[Oracle21]

We’re a missed 1 and 1, and 3 point make from losing this game. We were up 76-60 with like 4 minutes left!

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

The team is the ceiling, the staff is the floor

 

[HailtotheChief]

Get it to kylan

 

[Orangetool]

TOMI!
