Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[HailtotheChief]

77 needs to sit down. He's in over his head.

He is doing his job. He has gotten guys great looks and angles and they missed. Andre a lay up, mirk a 3, tomi a 3 and Ben made one. He is getting in the lane and making great passes. Should have 6 assist already.

Does Brad ever call a timeout to stop momentum or to draw up a set asking for a friend smh

After 7 years I’ve just accepted that when we get a run going against us it will spiral completely out of control

 

[rmlsr]

That is BS if you’re not going to contribute then you shouldn’t be out there period!

So far, we look completely outclassed and there is a real lack of energy.

Getting absolutely screened into oblivion. Refs never call illegal ones so we’re going to need to figure this !!!! out and quick

It's a timing thing and the screens are more fluent. We are not playing todays game in screening (no more big man standing still). Alabama was awesome at it, it is very tough to defend. I'm thinking we can learn and use it well by years end.

LOL- nothing like having 2 7 footers that are allergic to a post move...

Brads a decent coach when he has an Ayo or a TSJ on the team to win the one on one matchups. We’ve seen our ceiling. And it’s becoming a distant memory

 

[NASchamp]

Do we still think they have Klingon or something? We are so scared of taking shots in the lane.

 

[IlliniCaboose]

Brad every time we get throttled in a nocon game on national TV

 

[BDMAN]

Good lord we are not physical at all, bodied us up and we disappear

My fault. I meant David.

MSG scheduling manager just put a big red X on Illinois basketball team for any future visits. Pencilling in Acme school for myopic Pygmies.

 

[LuckyIllini]

I’ve come to the realization that BU will be good but never great. His lack of ability to install a defense is mind boggling.
Sure we’ll compete for a B10 championship but we’ll never see a NCAA championship under his helm.

 

[NarrowJ]

No and 1 ????

[JKR]

No foul?

 

[Zorak]

Feels to me like this game has been out of reach for a while

Smith mauling Bam every possession

 

[Iamgroot]

I just dont get it with Brad not calling timeouts to stop momentum and draw up a play. its not like you get to save your timeouts for the next game smh.it has me wondering if Brad is even of drawing up we all know he definitely cant draw up out of bounds plays

 

[BDMAN]

Brad needs to tell David he is not damn PG pass the ball!!!

 

[Flyin' Illini]

That should have been an And-1.

 

[illinipimp]

Shades of elite 8.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

wtf Mirk got hammered….

 

[hiberto]

Hurley calls a timeout to stop our run. BU take note
