Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[SilverTurbo]

Until they want to double Domask… lather, rinse, repeat

 

[stlrunner]

Guerrier has made some questionable decisions…

 

[ChiTown]

Might be time for QG to take a seat.

 

[Illiniguy13]

Quincy can’t finish and that hasn’t been his game

 

[azillini1]

QG just not playing a smart game... wide open 3 and drives and takes a wild shot. He has to take that open shot. If he can't make it, let someone else try an open 3

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

we’re RIGHT THERE with them, just gotta hit some shots

 

[Fighting I 95]

Why are we playing different then what got us here. Why is quincy and harmon trying to take over? Classic bad ending to the half thats going to end up costing us.

 

[nyc_illini]

WTF was Quincy trying to do there

 

[FromTheLogo]

PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE no more driving for QG. Unless it is a dunk he is one of the worst finishers in college basketball.

Nightmare ending to the half if they score out of the time out here.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

I can't remember the last time the refs screwed us this hard

Uh...never. Since that's not how this works.

 

[fantasydaily708]

That was awful from Quincy he has to shoot the 3 its the Elite 8 let it ride

 

[Boomauer]

Did you listen to the interview with Brad?

We're getting stubborn Brad today. Change the game plan a bit Brad.

 

[TonyClifton]

Maybe we change the strategy of going at their center? If it's not working, maybe try something else?

 

[FoundersClub]

I like taking the ball to the rim.

But look to score guys. Stop expecting a foul call 6 feet from the basket in taking a wild shot.

 

[punchabove33]

Clingon should have been fouled out by now

 

[mini30fan]

Listening to Stan Van Gundy is driving me nuts!!

 

[grantlab]

I mean, that's how you beat a shot blocker because you basically beg them to foul. But the refs aren't calling it. If the refs aren't going to call it, then we need to reevaluate.

Clingan isn’t fouling. He’s 7’2”. All he has to do is stand there. Credit to him, he’s played great defense…

 

[Heisenbobble]

Guerrier and Ty should not be out there. Goode and Dain all day.

 

[Hammy]

Shannon needs to wake up

 

[foby]

Would make more sense to chuck 3s than drive with klingon in. Might make one.

 

[superfan]

I guess the theory is we just wear Clingan down. This makes no sense otherwise.

I appreciate the strategy of trying to get him into foul trouble. Wonder if Brad stays the course or adjusts.

 

[PopChampaign]

If our gameplan with their center in is to throw it up to the top of the backboard and hope it falls in then we are in trouble

 

[chrisRunner7]

Both fanbases are going to go into the half thinking this was their worst half ever lol

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Unbelievably bad understanding of the game! Make an adjustment and throw a few swing passes and take a 3. They are just inviting us into the lane!!!

 

[madcrazeeballa]

The game plan had to be to attack Clingan and try to draw fouls to get him out, but they just haven’t called it on this side of the court. The good news is we switch sides and if the refs are consistent we can basically get away with murder in the paint defensively on that side in the 2nd half…..so there’s that
