Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[HailtotheChief]

Make some of these clean looks from 3 and we are ok. Gotta hit some. Get your emotioms in check and do your thing. We are getting good looks.

 

[Illini_Rich]

They are giving us the looks…we hit 35% we win

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

We're a bit lucky it's only 6. If we continue to go under screens, they're not going to keep missing. Right now, only Drej is effective in creating anything.

 

[HouTexIllini]

Not super worried about the offense, but we really cannot guard Reed.

Not super worried about guarding Reed, but we really can’t continue to not make shots.

 

[Julie Meinart]

REBOUND!!!!!

 

[BWBW]

Keep going inside, guys.

 

[Oracle21]

We were able to beat Iowa going 3/17 from 3. We ain’t beating UConn that way. Gonna need to find something more than Andres ISOs

 

[Deep]

0-5 from three. Christ

Lol
We are like 3 for 35 v uconn on 3's this year.
It will change

 

[illinifan1987]

Can we please start making some threes!!!!!!

 

[Illinisnake]

Hit some threes come on!

 

[joeybcrazy13]

Keep fighting boys!!! ILL

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Play the script…maximize Andrej and steady the ship and get a few threes to fall in 2nd H! ILL

 

[FromTheLogo]

We haven't played well, but only a 2 possession game. Breathe.

 

[FoundersClub]

Including Iowa…3 for our last 25 from 3?

 

[LuckyIllini]

For the love of God hit your threes

 

[Retro62]

We just need to settle in. Once we get a couple of threes to go, things will start rolling.

 

[WyattEarp]

I’m only 4.5 possessions late…but
like clockwork we got a lift when Andrej came in the game.

 

[fantasydaily708]

We probably not winning tonight if we cant hit 3s. Unless Drej and Wagler can get downhill all night they will need to make some 3s to win

 

[Illiniaaron]

0-5 from three. Christ

Three point shooting has totally gone away the past 12 games or so.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

The final form version of this sort of team would be a great three point shooting team. Then they’d be unstoppable. As is they’re an average three point shooting team that shoots a ton of them, gets offensive rebounds and avoids turnovers so it’s more of a death by analytic volume for opposing defense.

 

[azillini1]

Reed with 4 boards so far and Ivisic brothers with zero. They have to contribute and help out. Wagler and Jake or Ben we need you to get some 3’s

 

[HailtotheChief]

Ben is like negative % on pressure threes. Need one of them to fall!

Ben missed but his shot looked fine. Jakes wasnt close. Ben moves and challenges on D better than Jake.

 

[DeeIL89]

Still can't get the threes going. Been like that for a stretch of games now. If 3s aren't falling then it needs to fall in the second half. Frustrating.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Bottom line for me is hitting shots. We hit our normal rate from the arc and the game is tied.

 

[Iamgroot]

Anybody else realize Brad actually called a timeout thats improvement. Now lets go hit some 3s and win this thing ILL
