Game Thread: Illinois vs UT Rio Grande Valley

[illiniguy24]

You said he’s been looking like a freshman more and more each game. He was our second leading scorer two of the last three games. It’s a bad take.

Yes he isn’t playing well so far *tonight*

 

[FloridaMan]

We are looking at a Duke game repeat if this version of the team shows up Friday.

Hockey change loading.....

 

[CDRUSN]

Our offense has regressed to jacking up missed 3s, except for Andrej.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I'm thinking we need to switch up our halftime speeches/routines. Whatever we have going on this season ain't working

 

[CleverHandle1]

And they continue to chucking three pointers. 5 in a row!!!! They are going to lose some games they should win because of this.

 

[aveseaboy]

Petro is phenomenal at breaking down a defense who overplays everything.

It'd be nice to have another ball handler who could do that...but at least we have 1.


Watch the lead get cut and us come out clunky when Petro is on the bench....

I love Bam but when he is hesitant from 3.
He becomes soooo much easier to guard. Gets very 1 dimensional

You were spot on btw

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Wasn’t expecting this kind of game from the guys.

 

[BrownTown]

Our offense has regressed to jacking up missed 3s, except for Andrej.

Bring Petro back in...

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

Is andrej the worst shooter on the team?

 

[skyIdub]

There we go, get the Mirk going!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

If we are a 25% three point shooting team, we are going to be in trouble. This is the third game in a row we have just stunk it up from three. I am concerned.

 

[BrownTown]

You were spot on btw

I didn't want to be...lol

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Update: still very bad at three point shooting.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Our offense has regressed to jacking up missed 3s, except for Andrej.

Eh, 2 of those 3s were pretty high quality. That said, yeah we need to make a more concerted effort to go inside

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

That was a foul on Tomi.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Outstanding entry by Kylan to Mirk. Love seeing that. Beautiful

 

[SuperMetroid]

Attacking the basket >>>> jacking up 3s

 

[azillini1]

We are settling for too many 3’s to start this half and not hitting them. Do this on Friday and we will get embarrassed.

 

[CDRUSN]

Nice finish through contact by Mirk. Now get aggressive and guard your man on defense.

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Attacking the basket >>>> jacking up 3s

Petro listened.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Yeah, Petro looking good

 

[FloridaMan]

How can the shooter get his own rebound when we have 3 guys under the basket? Terrible

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

With nothing but respect to Lee, glad Petro was off the bench first in the second half.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Man, some of these Illini have soft hands on these rebounds. Be better.
