Game Thread: Illinois vs West Virginia

[sacraig]

I'm not convinced that Groce bothered telling the team that WVU likes to press. Tate looks clueless.

Just put in all the athletes and back door this over aggressive d

If we could fix the defensive rebounding (weak) and make some free throws, we can stay in the game. If we attack the zone better...not sure if that's possible, but let's see.

 

[TownieMatt]

Get a rebound!!!!!!!

 

[sunman]

Team all out of position on that play. Team needs to move without the ball.

Tate already looks burned. It's almost like he doesn't trust trace to run the point.

 

[Hoppy2105]

Need some rebounds.

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Hahaha this is awful

 

[aluma]

Malcolm is so weak sometimes. How on earth can he play that weak when he is built like a truck

 

[skyIdub]

For the love of all that is holy get Tate out of this game

 

[sunman]

12 ft airball

Frustrating.

 

[SuperMetroid]

In the corner every time WTF

 

[IlliniMed]

PUT TJL in the game. What we have is not working. ERGO change what you're doing

 

[TownieMatt]

Remind me what Jaylon Tate is good at again...

 

[CoalCity]

Well that last 10 seconds just killed the good work.of the last 5 minutes.

 

[illiniknight]

Wow. Our seniors. Hill gets lazy after a rebound and gets picked. Tate try's to make a pass while falling backwards. They were getting back into this and just like that it is back to 13.

 

[Hoppy2105]

This is not Illinois basketball.

 

[ATL Chief]

These rebounds are depressing.

 

[StateFarmCenter]

That is what we came out of a timeout with. Wow.

 

[JudsonFTS]

That spin is a travel ref.

 

[TownieMatt]

It's a turnover party and all Illini are invited!

 

[Illini2018]

This is such a poorly coached basketball team

 

[illinimike]

I just tuned the game on... wow we look bad. Can't even get the ball in.

 

[illiniguy24]

Was really hoping we would stay under 10 point deficit at half

Looks like most of the players are not ready for a press and are just getting frustrated out there. That's on the coaching staff, I think.

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Thank god theyve seemingly missed every free throw
