Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[Illiniaaron]

Horrible last five minutes.

 

[BWBW]

I hope Brad lights a fire in the locker room.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Up by 1 and not being able to capitalize on UCONN's drought is very disheartening.

 

[Retro62]

That was a terrible half, except for the blocks. We need to have our the kind of second half we’ve had all tournament.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

3/14 from 3 (21%). They're 7/18 (39%).

that's the difference.

Trying to decide between scotch and bourbon right now…

Why not both

 

[illinidday89]

Need to make some "well taken" three's in the second half and make 95% of our FT's to win this.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Relax … we got our usual crap half out of the way first. Time for that second half mojo.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Bottom line is we need to shoot the ball well, and we’re not. We can win this, but need to hit shots.

 

[blife]

Got 20 minutes to figure this out and make some F'ing open looks

 

[ChiIllini75]

Make or miss game at this point. Too many misses for our guys, and most not looking very close.

 

[FoundersClub]

Yea. About as poor of a half as you could draw up. Hard to point to one thing that we are doing well.

3-14 from three. UConn 7-18 (40%).

 

[zentrails]

Wagler got mugged by Karaban

kneed him, no call

 

[OrangeBlue98]

No excuse for the bad play, but once again Wagler gets mugged every time he attacks the lane and never gets a call. What does it take for him to get similar treatment as other stars get?

 

[fantasydaily708]

Terrible half gotta have the best 2nd half of the season. They broker than a joke on 2s or 3s nothing is falling

 

[ChiTown]

No consistency in our offense so far.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

We are a second half team.

We are a second half team.

We are a second half team.

Please god, we are a second half team tonight.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Missed threes, missed free throws, and a few missed bunnies. Gotta shoot better, nothing else to say.

 

[Boomauer]

9-1 deficit on assists. No real offense...just going one on one.

 

[Ryllini]

We got smoked in the first middle 4. We have to come out and take the fight right back to them. Played a little tight. Mirk pulled a string on one and kylan on a mid range. We have plenty of tips at the rim, haven't fallen. And for f sakes, hit a 3

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Of course these pricks can’t miss all of a sudden

They are shooting about where you expect them to. We aren't.

 

[jumpingjack]

Michigan fans are bitches, openly rooting for UCONN.
Y'all scared?

 

[fuggles]

Trying to decide between scotch and bourbon right now…

I choose maximum quality

 

[rdk573]

I'm debating whether to stay for the Michigan/AZ game after this travesty
