Game Thread: Illinois vs USC

[IlliniKat91]

I'm dying to know what happened to KJ's hand. Even if it was a delayed response to an injury, it feels hinky to me

 

[ILLmatic]

What happened to Ivisic?

 

[blife]

That's the game. Worst effort on the Boards all season. Terrible effort = terrible lose. Goodbye top 20

 

[NashvILLe05]

Stretching out my hammies for the upcoming Hamer beat down on Loyalty.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Such is the life of Illinois sports fans. The shoe ALWAYS drops.

Toast

Omg lol smoke a bowl, open your meditation apps. These games happen.

Of course they do, but not bringing the energy/intensity when you’re getting spanked is pretty pathetic and demonstrates a lack of pride. I thought they wanted more of themselves.

Thats game.. This was a wake up call today... You don't play hard and don't play as a team....you get embarrassed even at home!

it was game when I saw how we came out at half...

 

[IlliniTaffy]

KJ being hurt sucks but this is embarrassing

 

[OneTime3]

Would have benched Ben and Tre 5 minutes ago.

 

[D1959]

Asleep no ball movement way too much one on one dribbling

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

I hate losing at home

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

THAT IS A FOUL ... just completely changed the game. WHAT?

This just blew the game. Guy just hacks and flings Bos to the ground, go down for a layup.

 

[skyIdub]

Whatever. I'd take these boys straight to practice. Treadmills for all of em.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Getting owned by some mid-major dude named ‘Saint Thomas’ now

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

USC is a lot shorter team than us but manhandling us. This game sometimes.

EFFORT

 

[hiberto]

44 points given up in the paint and there's still 2+ minutes left. unacceptable

 

[Flyin' Illini]

If you told me we were shooting 20% from three, I would say there's no way we've made that many.

The bigger problem is we're giving up 52% field goal shooting on the other end.

 

[WSIOTCSS]

Well that sucked

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Would have benched Ben and Tre 5 minutes ago.

This is a Boswell game. His first half......

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

No defensive intensity. No rebounding. No in game adjustments (again) to turn off the water when someone’s going off. No three point shooting. We deserve to lose.

 

[blife]

Can't protect home court you can't win the BIG title. Not good blown out by USC at home.

 

[PapaKvells]

Is Ivisic able to dunk?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Wind sprints until 5:00PM.

 

[BDMAN]

Thats game.. This was a wake up call today... You don't play hard and don't play as a team....you get embarrassed even at home!

Yes indeed, we forget this is a young team and maybe the team and the caching staff were feeling themselves about how special they were...well wakeup call delivered
