Game Thread: Illinois vs West Virginia

[FiveStar]

UL- WSU pretty good game on espn. snider would have been an excellent bandaid for us

Losing Evans was worse

 

[TCTORNADO]

Have you thought about being an athletic director.

He's a proctologist.

 

[schnaurt]

He's a proctologist.

That is eye opening. Hahahaha

 

[Give it to Greene]

Finke leads the scoring with 10....

WVU had 8 steals in the 1st half...

 

[whovous]

Honest question. Has anyone spoke up to call folks out to light a fire? Players or coaches?

Groce got on Finke pretty hard on his defense.

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Finke the lone bright spot. My favorite moment of the first half was when he had to dribble up and beat the press himself because literally everyone else was scared to even help. He did eventually turn it over but it's hard to blame him. Not his job.

 

[schnaurt]

Groce got on Finke pretty hard on his defense.

That is a good start. Let'a see how they come out in the second. One can always hope for greatness.

 

[CoalCity]

Coming out of the half nobody even near rebounding position. How much more of this can we take?

And a rushed open shot by Finke on the next possession.

Pass the scotch please.

This is pathetic.

 

[illini8507]

Well, we look just as bad as we did in the 1st half...

 

[IlliniRon]

Still watching this, but let's see if Malcolm Hill can get in the game, and if we can get the ball down the floor, rebound on defensive end, shoot free throws, etc. Not likely. Finke is the main offense from the first half, what happened to everyone else?

 

[Deleted member 3875]

Len Elmore just shredding the Illini; rightfully so.

 

[CoalCity]

Anyone still think Malcolm is athletic enough to play at the next level? I love the kid but he's really been exposed today. As everyone has.

 

[Give it to Greene]

More turnovers....

 

[ChicagoChief]

Coming out of the half nobody even near rebounding position. How much more of this can we take?

It won't have to be much more because Groce is as good as toast

 

[SuperMetroid]

Embarrassed to be an Illini fan right now. Again.

 

[roger murdock]

How much more of this can we take?

How much Patrón do you have?

 

[GortTheRobot]

I really can't believe we have sunk this low as a program. This game is a nightmare to watch.

 

[Illini1221]

Leron Black dribbling the ball up the court with no guard in sight

 

[illininks]

I've never seen a team get so schooled in effort AND in coaching at the D1 level. This is pathetic.

 

[O-Bla]

Way to have the boys prepared, Groce.

Hopefully, it is no longer a question of if Groce will be fired. It's a question of when.

 

[IGBDA]

Our point guards are content with letting Finke or Black bring the ball up by themselves. Terrible

 

[cjcastan]

I really really wanted groce to succeed this year and be our coach for a long time.

Unless something really turns around quickly. We are probably going to turn the page at the end of the season.

 

[CoalCity]

How is that a foul on black?? Utter BS
