Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[Battle89]

Brad seemed kind of stubborn in that TV interview about we're going to keep taking it at him -- which they then did for the next 12 minutes.

Will be interested to see if they do that this second half or look for the 3s more and adjust to how the game is being called on our offensive end. Hoping our timely 3-point shooting leads to an all-time victory.

Going to have nightmares about that interview. I love Brad but this stubbornness is his Achilles heel.

Dain HAS to be in there when Clingan is, and he needs to be verrry physical.

 

[foby]

Murray's son uconn asst., right?

 

[Orange Wave]

Well I was hoping for an adjustment.

 

[InDaAZ]

Sighted…

Yes, Bill, it does suck.

 

[blife]

Stop going inside. They are NOT going to call anything on Clingan

 

[BlueLeader]

Love BU and his loyalty but he needs to abandon this approach with TY. It needs to be 5 out.

 

[Coop70]

Outside shots can't fall if you don't take them .

 

[WyattEarp]

Bill Murray you traitor!

 

[blueguy]

When did we decide that we don’t shoot 3s…

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

It's almost like this team has no idea how to play against a really tall player.

Which is mystifying.

 

[illini510]

Illini aren't going to win the game like this. Why do they continue to try to challenge Clingan and expect different results? Where is the ball movement? Where is the 3 pt shooting? Man, this is the ultimate definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

 

[genxrex]

Oh look at Bill Murray....gfy.

He's dead to me

 

[madillini4]

Laying an absolute egg right now. Bad bad bad basketball.

 

[Dragons89]

We going to run the Domask one on one the whole game and not move the ball to shoot 3’s when they have a 7 footer blocking our shots. Dang frustrating to watch. I think we still make a run.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

The lesson for tonight-!!!!! about the officiating all the time. You’ll eventually get the calls.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Hoo boy. Dainja vu.

 

[ILL-Intentions]

Gotta learn a lesson. Now punch back

 

[kyillinifan]

They won’t call fouls on Klingan.

 

[HensonHall71]

Bill Murray wearing UCONN colors... That's an abomination

Bill Murray is dead to me - he must only root for the #1 team

 

[FloridaMan]

Dainja not gonna help guys. We can't play an inside game against this team. Wasn't Brad wanting us to shoot more threes earlier in the year? Now we don't want to shoot any? What am I missing?

 

[fantasydaily708]

Put Dainja in the game man and keep him there when the Big is in. Coleman is not winning the matchup i dont get why Brad thinks it will end different.

 

[sacraig]

Bill Murray wearing UCONN colors... That's an abomination

His son is a UConn assistant.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Well, on the plus side, Donovan Clingan is going to be very tired at the end of this game. But he'll have a week to recuperate before the Final Four.

 

[NarrowJ]

Alright, starting to attack players and name calling (dumb, etc)

I'm out, see you guys after everyone's calmed down
