Game Thread: Illinois vs Valparaiso

[zentrails]

Disagree. You’re asking Ty Rodgers who isn’t a PG to be a PG and in doing so, takes him away from what he does best. He needs to be on the inside because he doesn’t have a jump shot. Not a cope for success imo.

He was a pretty good PG on that HS superstar team a couple years ago setting up 5 star players

 

[Leelnd]

I really like Morreti in the game.

 

[CDRUSN]

Credit to the Reverend. He preached some kind of motivational sermon to get his guys ready to play with max effort. Roger will always be one of my all time favorite Illini. Just a great competitor and leader.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Can we decline free throw opportunities?

 

[Gbop]

How can this team not be able to make a FT????

 

[Rainier Wolfcastle]

We’ve been saying that for far too long, brother

Unfortunately, it’s a recurring theme during BU’s tenure. I don’t know why this is consistently happening every year…

 

[zentrails]

Lol. This is a Kenpom 300+ team. If this is the answer, we are nowhere near a top 25 team

I've never said we are anywhere near a top 25 team
Right now, clearly we are not.
OTOH we just played the #4 team fairly evenly.
But glad to give you a LOL, you're welcome LOL

 

[Illini8420]

This is bad

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Yeesh, when the fans said bring in a free throw coach who playedpro ball, they didn't mean Shaq

 

[Chickenmane]

Brad seems a lot scarier when he’s just sitting

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

This is a joke, right?

 

[New Creation]

We are really down 10 right now…

Glad we’re both laughing

 

[UCantHideYer]

Our FT shooting is silly.

 

[ChiTown]

My eyes are burning,no one can make a free throw to save there life.

 

[pruman91]

A FT , a FT , my kingdom for a made FT.....................................

But it is still not the problem. We are not having a rebounding issue. We are shooting HORRIFIC.

 

[GetAWin]

Can Moretti shoot?

 

[zentrails]

Glad we’re both laughing

Yep, I'm actually glad that I'm too cheap to pay to watch BTN+ games

 

[Get yourself a new map]

Dang, almost hit the perfect half on missed front ends.

 

[ChiTown]

Looks like we’re playing the number one ranked tea.

 

[CDRUSN]

OK men. Any time now, you can put your shovels down and stop digging. This hole looks deep enough.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Effort level on defensive rebounds is completely unacceptable

 

[vikings001]

Why did Dain change his FT motion if he was just going to be abysmal and go like 0-8 or whatever it is to start the year? He was like 50% last year it wasn’t this bad

 

[New Creation]

Why does underwood want this team shooting more threes when they can’t even make free throws or lay ups or complete a junior high pass..
