Game Thread: Illinois vs VCU

[curtmoss]

If this game was in the B1G, VCU would have 15+ fouls

 

[DeeIL89]

Can't make open threes to save our life right now.

 

[Mistakenj]

I just want to say if I see Jake Davis in the effing starting lineup again, I might have an aneurysm. This is typical Brad thinking he’s some analytics guru.

 

[RickBB]

I’m good with AS going ISO every possession.

Just hope his loose handle doesn’t happen at the wrong time.

 

[Ryllini]

AS is earning that check. Listen, zero 50/50 calls are going to go our way. Z was just racked on that last rebound attempt. Fight thru and punk these bitches. AS has the idea.

Where would we be without Andrej

Only offense we got in this game until Mirk can come back in

 

[Keene-4-3]

Worst officiating that I have witnessed this season. Shocking!

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Hill literally committed 5 fouls on that AS drive

This is making me so upset, got hacked and half court across the arm clear as day and nothing

 

[Illiniam1984]

Why do our shooters all (almost always) seemingly go cold at the same time?

They let the other team get in their heads that’s why. They have to stop shooting threes and feed the ball into the paint more.

 

[JKR]

Wagler with one point.

Unless it was Michigan State. It’s almost like these officials watched that game and thought calling the game like that was a good idea.

 

[BTM33]

Andrej and Kylan are playing their asses off...

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Z got fouled on the rebound attempt, of course no call was made.

He certainly did. Apparently it's only an over the back call if you are taller than the guy whose back you are jumping over?

 

[AnnaMay]

No such thing as a reaching foul this game gents

 

[DICKnaggie]

I love Stoj but don't have him bring the ball up with Keaton and Bos on the floor

Stoj has a tendency to keep the ball way too far out. Bam should doing the ball handling. His strength and width make him best equipped against this handsy physical team.

 

[Goillinikobd]

Tyler telling Brad "I'm sorry" right before Commercial. Wonder what that was about

Apologizing for a lousy offense.

 

[illini510]

Where would we be without Andrej

Hence why he should not be coming off the bench at all. Tired of the Jake Davis experimentations

 

[abchew2]

VCU plays “they can’t call a foul on every possession” basketball

It’s good practice for when we play Houston next if we win

 

[Get yourself a new map]

That is such a brutal possession there. Reminds me of when Keaton had it going at Northwestern but you just KNEW we overplayed it and he ends up picking up that insane flagrant foul because we jut stopped moving on offense.

 

[SuperMetroid]

If this game was in the B1G, VCU would have 15+ fouls*

*offer not valid if game is played in East Lansing

 

[Trueblue777]

Brad looks awfully comfy on the bench

Terrible body language

 

[FromTheLogo]

Whether it's Bam, Keaton, or Andrej, we need to take it at Hill every single time. Get him in foul trouble. Without him they are in trouble.

 

[bavanga3]

Where are the Andrej haters right now? LFG!

 

[jrock]

It's a dogfight. Gotta dig deep.

Tyler telling Brad "I'm sorry" right before Commercial. Wonder what that was about

I'm guessing it had to do with AS bringing the ball up court last possession no reason for that
