Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[hiberto]

Jeebus. Our shooting is awful

we're in the bonus, stop chucking threes and attack the paint!

 

[IlliniMilkMan]

Two really bad 3 misses by Wagler.

He's trying to do too much right now.

 

[AnnaMay]

Ok Kylan. You got it out of the way. You and Keaton need to get the ball moving.

 

[Clngpl94]

If we could make a basket it wouldn't even be close....

 

[blife]

Got to settle down. Looking a little shaky. LFG!!!!!

 

[NarrowJ]

2-12 from 3 isn’t gonna get it done

 

[Scoregasm]

Everyone is watching Keaton with zero movement, the offense is stale.

 

[ILLINIFAN2]

Replay that..... AND, keep going inside, ffs

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Gotta hang in there. Can’t let this be anymore than a two possession game at half. Critical last five minutes here.

 

[PapaKvells]

Andrej needs to work on those FTs. Can’t have that kind of gift of drawing fouls driving to the hoop and not being able to turn them into points. It seems like he’s somehow an 80% FT shooter but always misses at least one when I’m paying attention.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Instead of the booty ball, we need to run actions with the bigs inside already. Will result in much easier looks.

 

[azillini1]

Wagler isn’t close with his last couple 3’s

 

[illinitiger]

More Andre please

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Some of the three pointers aren’t even close

The last should've been a 3 shot foul on Karaban.

 

[ChiTown]

Complete momentum killer. Stoj missing both. 1-4 from FT.

Almost like a turnover.

 

[Oracle21]

That 0/2 from the line from Andres was a momentum switcher

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Ok we’ve got the Z brick 3 and Bad Bos 3 out of our system lol

And the Mirk And-1 …albeit 25 minutes too early…

 

[skyIdub]

It’s gotta be Wagler and Andrej to the paint. Start establishing inside.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

Double or Dig Reed from everyone except who is guarding Mullins. Make someone other than those 2 beat us. Bam or Drej on Mullins period.

 

[fantasydaily708]

We didnt seize any of that momentum and now are back on our heels again

 

[BrownTown]

We should keep shooting 3s

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Stop jacking up 3s.

Reed is causing trouble on both ends. We're not challenging him when he's in the paint.

 

[Epsilon]

Stop jacking up 3s.

Don’t love the NBA threes but we’ve been open with good looks. We’re just not making them.

 

[HouTexIllini]

Its urked me for two years now how Ben just does stuff that makes no sense and doesn’t do anything.

He just jumped in the air and does his useless faux swipe/swing in the air instead of actively trying to do something consequential.

And he missed a free steal by going through motions. It kills me watching this stuff and it’s called good defense.

 

[DeeIL89]

Just keep attacking the paint and at least try to get Reed to foul.
