Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[Leelnd]

CoHawk passes up an open 3 so he can force a freshman to shoot one.

Exactly, I don't understand it.

 

[madcrazeeballa]

Gotta hit the open 3’s

 

[azillini1]

They are going to double the score on us now. We are playing to scared. Can anyone on the team besides MD make a friggin shot?

Can we score 40 in this game?

 

[Illiniaaron]

Didnt expect to win. But I did not expect to be lifeless. This is actually the only depressing outcome for me.

They’re playing hard. Just terrible on offense

 

[jaked1121]

What a stupid offensive gameplan

 

[cs04]

Wish Brad had packed some more game planning and fewer super soakers

 

[bleedorange and blue]

I don't understand, uconn was,,was so beatable. Well bright lights are scary. Need a TSJ miracle

 

[Mr. Roberts]

16-0 run over what - 9 minutes?

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

No one can shoot today. It is what it is

 

[Illinifan55]

LOCK IN. There's another blow, we gotta take it off the chin and bounce back. Brad needs to do something.

Its been a hell of a season no shame in getting beat by this team

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Well, the 2005 team came back from about this far against Arizona in the Regional final, and that game was the day before Easter...

 

[216superdude]

Have we ever heard of a shot fake?Are you kidding me

they shot fake constantly.. coleman will do a shot fake 80 ft from the basket..

 

[jerojohe]

I legit think something is wrong with the baskets here. No reason for shooting to be this and from both teams 2 games in a row

 

[madillini4]

The fix is in

The refs haven’t been great but we are straight up stinking it up

 

[so illini]

Not a good adjustment at half .. well no adjustment

 

[illini510]

Teams nowadays in the NBA aren't popular??? On a thread that's had some pretty bad takes, this may be one of the worst.

I said the Bulls...we are talking about the Bulls teams from the Thibs era(which you brought up) vs the Bulls teams from the Hoiberg/Donovan/Boylan eras. My suggestion is you read what I wrote rather than coming up with your own inferences based on an agenda to prove me wrong

 

[foby]

I remember being down by a lot in the last Elite 8 game…

If only......

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

What a stupid offensive gameplan

Janet?

 

[AT6]

Didn't expect to win this, but didn't expect to be this ice cold either.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

19-0 run, or is my.math wrong?

 

[Keisersose]

It was a good strategy to go at them. Clingon was too good and/or we didn’t get any foul calls.

Now we have to string together a bunch of stops and have miraculous offensive efficiency. T

 

[TampaToo]

Good night. Everything will be alright.

 

[SummerofGeorge]

Not a single thing going right. Bad strategy from the get go to just go at Clingan. Playing scared and tight which was the last thing I thought would happen.
