Game Thread: Illinois vs UCLA

[HailtotheChief]

Ivisic was 2 for 2 on threes. The rest of the team was 3 for 13. Stop it! You guys are not a good 3-point shooting team! I thought Brad had finally learned, but apparently not.

Thar was the good from Tomi but Tomi and KJ and b9swell with 3,3, and 2 TOs. We are giving away possessions. Ben is 1 of 4 from 3 but at least it's a shot and not a TO. We have 9T0s and they have 8 of em. Make solid lower risk passes!

I hope we see MO Rez and LESS Ben in the second half. His ability to fight for rebounds and loose balls and score down low is irRezistible.

I haven’t seen him on the bench. Did he even dress?

He's in an orange warm up.

 

[Dragons89]

Nahhhhh … He’s got the “flu” …

And everyone said I was full of it and what Brad told the media had to be true …

He was definitely pouting a lot before the “sick” but he also looks like he lost a lot of weight. Could it be both he was sick and also not having the right attitude!

 

[skyIdub]

At this point Jake has earned more time off the bench than Ben.

 

[blife]

Need to have 5 or less turnovers this half. LFG!

Jac Collinsworth is almost as obnoxious as his dad.

 

[D1959]

Take care of the damn ball this half

PS: Why does this announcer(collinsworth apparently) with Bardo blink so darn much? Is he okay,

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Bahs-well

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

To be fair, they are packing it in the lane. Cronin is taking his chances on us taking and missing 3's.

We've proven we can beat them by going inside. Just need to keep doing it.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Why are we just intentionally, willingly leaving their best three point shooter?

 

[Dragons89]

Bosssswelllll

Weird watching basketball and hearing Sunday Night Football.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Arm slapping galore

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

We don’t guard pick and roll in the lane very well.

 

[illinifreak30]

Bardo makes my ears bleed

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Ben's been a negative thus far.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Stop leaving him open

 

[dainjazoner]

STOP LEAVING 34 OPEN ON EVERY PICK AND POP. OUTRAGOUS.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Glad we made sure to guard Bilodeau at halftime

 

[FromTheLogo]

Tomi, Tomi, Tomi..... Your guy is making threes. Please guard him.

 

[PopChampaign]

don’t start jacking 3s please please
