Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[HailtotheChief]

Well your wrong. His league was at least at this level.

 

[Retro62]

We have looked dead all game, can’t hit a three, Styakovic giving us nothing and Petro just killing us, yet we came back to within striking distance. I honestly don’t know how to feel about this team.

Question: Could this board go 1/13 from 3?

in our primes maybe

 

[BrownTown]

Don’t recall this one

Tyler Underwood mentioned that to Ked Prince

AS so bad in this game that BU put in JD who proceeded to miss the crucial open 3 that he had. Abominable 3 point shooting by the whole team. A final 4 contender team would never shoot this poorly in any game.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Approaching double digit possessions now with a chance to get closer than 9.

Thats the game. We had our chance and couldnt hit a shot or scheme up a good look.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

1 of our last 19 from three.

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

You can’t EVER play Jake and Ben together … What is Brad thinking !!!

It’s worked better than any of the other guys. Andrej & Mirk have been awful. Might as well sit em.

Petrovic is def not braden smith. Tyler underwood was smoking something when he made that claim.

He inherited this trait from his Dad clearly …

Still waiting on Mark Smith to be Jason Kidd …

We have had our chances the last few minutes but can't seem to find our rear end with both hands from 3

Link? Be interested what the actual quote was

 

[TheodoreRex]

Somehow a quiet 25 for Kylan tonight- had he played this aggressively against Bama the whole game- we would've won it.

 

[DeeIL89]

This is like the end of the first half where UConn couldn't get things going and we had a chance to trimmed the lead down but couldn't get buckets. Ugh.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Jake playing when we have one of our best players Stoj on the bench is coaching malpractice.

 

[BashCtIllini]

shooting under 20% from 3

 

[AugustWest]

I had a feeling this would be a down game for Stoj. Hasn’t played many big games like this and Hurley + co can scheme him out

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

JAKE AND BEN STILL IN TOGETHER !!!!!

Come on Brad !!!!

This is UNACCEPTABLE !!!!!!!!

 

[azillini1]

Only Boswell in double digits for us

 

[FantaIllini]

I know andrej hasn’t played good today but he needs to be in

 

[Jon]

We did it!!!

 

[DeeIL89]

I can see Brad's presser: "I like the looks we got from 3. We will keep shooting it."

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Tomi made an open one. Did we need that. Come on D

 

[PopChampaign]

Hopefully we learn a lot from this game and make improvements for league play

 

[NarrowJ]

JAKE AND BEN STILL IN TOGETHER !!!!!

Come on Brad !!!!

This is UNACCEPTABLE !!!!!!!!

It’s been the best stretch of the game for us so far… by far
