Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[…INI!]

Wish tomi would attempt some dunks. He’ll score or get fouled.

 

[hiberto]

can't miss these bunnies!

 

[IlliniWatcher]

Gotta hit those inside shots under the rim. Gotta. At least the Huskies' fouls are mounting.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

Just nothing rolling in for us. I’m telling you it’s a greater being at work against us.

 

[Keisersose]

So many misses right at the rim.

 

[fantasydaily708]

That's like 8 missed layups tonight disgusting make those and they might be winning right now

 

[One Man Fast Break]

This ball is just not falling our way.

But we need to get back to shooting threes. Have to strike some lightning.

 

[NASchamp]

Not going to come back if we can't get those bunnies to roll in. Ouch.

Been so many of those. All of ours are rolling out and all of theirs are bouncing in. It’s a game of inches.

 

[sacraig]

Can we for the love of god take a three.

We are ice cold from 3 and doing reasonably well in the paint. Do what's working.

 

[SuperMetroid]

How? How are none of these shots rolling in for us

 

[SummerofGeorge]

Can we for the love of god take a three.

Huh? We have clawed back in by going inside.

 

[CDRUSN]

Nice move, but gotta stuff that one at the rim Tomi. You know, use that height advantage and stop finishing soft.

 

[ohioillini77]

Layup killing us.

 

[FloridaMan]

They are only shooting 36% from the field, yet, that is better than us. Putrid

 

[JJE]

Tomi watching his missed bunny instead of finding a body.

 

[fatboyslim]

Watch out for Karaban out of this timeout

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

If this is where it ends, it's in the Final Four. Not a terrible way to go out.

With our group, it can be feast or famine shooting the ball. We had a nice couple of games where we were much more balanced. We ended up in three point shootout and it would indeed be a bummer if that's what closes the door.

 

[Illinifan74]

Can't buy a basket, other than that I think we have played a pretty decent game in the 2nd half.

 

[Iamgroot]

Down with 6 with time step up to and take it guys ILL

 

[216superdude]

why didn’t we get inside during the first half.

 

[DeeIL89]

Tough break once again. Love the take from Tomi but he lost his balance and might have affected that layup attempt.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

I need a super cut of the incredible misses we’ve had tonight. It would be like 3:00 long.

 

[Oracle21]

It’s cliche to say “the ball just didn’t bounce our way”…but tonight that’s exactly it

 

[IlliniMilkMan]

So close, yet so far.

I think it's time for good Wagler.

Story of the game: These rims are f'ing biased.
