Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[Naborman88]

Brad needs to call up some double screens to get TSJ loose on the wing

 

[hoopsfan47]

Adam Fletcher potential MVP of this game....just sayin' it now.

 

[genxrex]

Time to nut up. It is definitely there for the taking

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Ty has to finish those for us to win. Just has to.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Desperately need Ty to make some of these at the basket.

Look guys. Clingan isn't going to get his second foul. The refs have decided it!!!!

 

[Coop70]

UCONN isn't beating us, we are.

 

[superfan]

Unless Clingan gets in foul trouble, they gotta be able to make jump shots tonight.

I’ve seen a couple uncalled fouls by Clingan. Not sure if that strategy is going to work.

 

[Heisenbobble]

If we're not gonna make layups, we're not gonna stay within 20 of this team.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

Stripes aren’t calling them right now. Switch it up to drive and dish for ball movement to open 3s.

 

[GetAWin]

Need to get Shannon going

 

[Goillinikobd]

Get DD ON DEFENSE AND STOP TRYING TO GET TO THE BASKET ON OFFENSE
sorry for caps

 

[SuperMetroid]

Clingon getting the Edey treatment so far. For the love of god dunk the ball Ty!!

 

[KCBassin]

Ty inability to make layups or develop a 12 foot jumper makes him unplayable against good bigs

 

[fatboyslim]

Look guys. Clingan isn't going to get his second foul. The refs have decided it!!!!

I know right. He's getting the Sean May/Edey treatment so far.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

This is the way the whole tournament has been officiated. Players simply do not get rewarded for driving to the basket. Drawing fouls isn't really an option. You have to finish.

 

[fantasydaily708]

Not my guy Ty's best game so far smh

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Ty has cost us 6 points. Two at the line and two layups.

 

[Scoregasm]

Need to play Dain against Clingan and Hawkins on the perimeter. Sit Dain when their center sits.

 

[Butters]

I guess we're trying to draw a foul on Clingan, but we're just are flinging up shots that are easy blocks or not close...

 

[PopChampaign]

Clingians presence on the court could end up winning them the game if we don’t adjust

 

[ChiTown]

Need to get clingan in foul trouble

So far not calling the fouls…he‘s getting Eddy‘s courtesy.

 

[Hammy]

Rodgers has been a liability on offense

 

[PopChampaign]

Need to play Dain against Clingan and Hawkins on the perimeter. Sit Dain when their center sits.

My exact thoughts

We are playing tight. And yet we are still only down 6. Bring Domask back in. Settle down. And go on a run!
