Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[LvilleILL]

Need to wake up and respond. Worst possible start

 

[Fighting I 95]

Lost in the first 4 minutes. Wow.

 

[Illini8420]

They’re killing us inside

 

[sacraig]

It won't matter if we get too far behind if we can get their whole team to foul out.

Maybe?

 

[Jimbo]

Ok, let’s settle down.

 

[Butters]

Ohhhhh dear

 

[TheChief4Life]

On pace to lose 90-0. From what I’ve seen this far, there’s no reason to believe this won’t happen.

 

[ChiTown]

We’re getting sped up.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Well, I'm sure this was all part of the gameplan

 

[Illinifan55]

Worst start possible, and we're only gonna be down 7(hopefully). HORRIBLE start, but could be worse if UConn hit some 3's...

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Letting Rodgers linger like a bad fart was not a good idea

 

[grantlab]

Feels like the start of first Purdue game with us having absolutely no idea what to do with Ty Rodgers on offense

 

[skyIdub]

Do they have a special device to remove heads from a##es?

 

[Champaign88]

We do realize we can pass the ball to TSJ, right?

 

[illiniguy24]

We should probably give the ball to TSJ every time

 

[PopChampaign]

Rodgers is a weakness for us tonight .. unfortunately

Yeah they’re sagging off him, we’ve seen that all season but for some reason it seems the way they’re doing it is a little different. I haven’t seen any weakness yet in their defense, not sure TSJ will get those fast break points this game. We need to open things up

 

[PapaKvells]

This game is too big for Rogers.

 

[madillini4]

Lethargic and uninspiring. Against the best team in the country.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Rogers needs to sit. We are playing 4 on 5 on offense. Colemans needs to calm down on defense and maintain position. And somebody needs to rebound.

 

[Coop70]

Of everything I thought might happen being scared and jittery wasn't there.

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

The guys are playing extremely tight

 

[New Creation]

We looked shocked by their size. We haven't seen a team as big as them outside of Purdue

 

[fantasydaily708]

We have to get Shannon touches the ball is in Domasks hands too much.

 

[WyattEarp]

Missed free throws again.

Yeah, that has to change pronto.

 

[Chad Fleck]

All I've really been annoyed by so far, is Dain standing in the dunkers spot, but out of bounds.
