[Red77sng]

Our guards can’t defend there guards

danger zone

 

[ChiTown]

Another 30-0 run in the making.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Here we go again…

 

[FoundersClub]

This is a yet another Brad in a big game, 20/30 point loss brewing.

 

[thehass]

What are we doing?

 

[Pikeillinifan]

The defense is not good, neither is the offense.

It could be a long day.

 

[blueguy]

I’ll never understand how other teams can figure out how to get around screens and contest but we year in and year out never can.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh boy... Well, pretty clear that UCONN is juuuuuuuuust a bit better 3pt shooting team than we are. We're going to need to make some shots. We look like we have a bit of stagefright

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Well, at least I tempered my expectations.

 

[blife]

Do not go under any screens the rest of the day please

 

[NarrowJ]

Petro and Keaton both have 2 fouls

 

[SemperFiIllini]

Men against boys...

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Just absolutely no answer for Ball.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

lol maybe the worst defensive team Illini have ever put on a floor. This is comical to watch.

 

[TonyClifton]

Might be a good idea to call a timeout and make some adjustments before the game gets away.

 

[NASchamp]

Terrible call, especially when you watch it in slow-mo. We cannot keep trailing these shooters so far behind.

 

[Illinisnake]

I thought when we hired a defensive minded assistant we would have changed defenses but nah, same old stuff. So tired of this crumby fight through screen stuff. He never changes.

 

[JKR]

Watch UConn on offense - constant motion vs Ill who look like traffic cones.

 

[eas23]

Ball's shots aren't even touching the rim.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Do not go under any screens the rest of the day please

Problem is they'll do moving screens until its called, we need to just switch everything

 

[Retro62]

Petro is killing us. I’m here in person and he is a mess on both ends of the court.

 

[ThisYearForSure]

Looks the same as so many Underwood teams. Bad defense and stagnant offense.

 

[Scoregasm]

We ain't coming back unless we start bombing from 3.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Defense optional..

Brad can't cut it against the top coaches- and he never will.. He's consistently gotten us back to being relevant and good.. We ain't ever going to be great under Brad- Tell me I'm wrong?
