Game Thread: Illinois vs UCLA

[foby]

Not gonna go all Speed Racer on this.....
..

But we may be back.

 

[FloridaMan]

Great run! Keep it up!!!!!

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Now THAT is how you show up for a big game - both the team and the crowd! Major props to Krush for rising to the challenge.

Defense to offense. Illini up by 10. Refreshing start compared to last 5 games.

 

[skyIdub]

Someone love me like Morez loves rebounds.

 

[blife]

Love the effort and energy

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

We’re falling in love with the 3 again

 

[WyattEarp]

I see some mistakes but I see intensity and effort. That makes me happy.

Crush should chant Mathew Mayer each time Skyy touches the ball

 

[NarrowJ]

UCLA plays hard on defense

We are moving the ball well, but there's always a defender

 

[dainjazoner]

my god humrichous is terrible. he does nothing.

 

[Bigtex]

Settling for too many 3s

They aren’t bad three’s for the most part. Sans KJ’s…

 

[illiniguy24]

Ridiculous that they didn’t call the reach in that caused that KJ turnover.

I know he is a bit erratic and loose with the ball, but he really gets a crappy whistle game after game

 

[FloridaMan]

Having Rez standing in the corner 3 spot, while we are shooting 2 of 8 on threes, is an offensive strategy decision. Would like us to work for a few more twos, but what the hell do I know?

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Love the energy from the guys, not sure about these rotations

 

[skyIdub]

Crush should chant Mathew Mayer each time Skyy touches the ball

Yes...creativity!

 

[illiniE]

Does Peacock allow more crowd noise into the broadcast than other channels. Or is the crowd just louder than normal.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Start Riley, play Jake behind him, tell Ben to be ready if needed.

Would be different if Ben was the sophomore and Jake the 5th year, but it’s not.

The 3-pointer is not an efficient shot for us. We can't shoot 30+ at our current percentage and be efficient offensively.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

These are generally open looks. I’d like to say they’ll eventually fall, but, you know….

I'm doing my part, especially with the Clark boos

 

[tcb13]

Tre?

 

[skyIdub]

Energy effort and heart will almost always overcome mistakes.

 

[WeWillWhen]

VALUE THE BALL, PLEASE!!!
