apparently we are favored by 2.5 with a 59% chance to win
lets fucking GO!
-
From the preview ....
" The Illini visit College Park for the first time since Dec. 2, 2022, and are in search of their first road win at Maryland since a 71-62 non-conference victory on Nov. 29, 2011."
🤷, but 🤞
Benetti and Hummel doing the game.

Many thanks to whomever schedules the color guys on TV broadcasts.
We need this game big time. Ball movement and tough defense. This loosing streak must end.
Maryland and fans will be jacked up to win for Lefty's memory.

Unless MD is now fucking the dog and given up NCAA hopes for the year, it could be a tough game.
They have three pieces which create issues for Illinois:
1) A physical inside scoring post
2) A lead guard who can get into lane and score
3) A decent defense with a rim protector
On the other hand they are the worst 3 point shooting team in the world.
I hope we help on Reese and and Young. Scott has kind of sucked recently.
Should be an Illini win. Our roster is a bunch of 25 year olds- winning on the road should be doable.

Well he's now out due to some freak injury.
EDIT: Well never mind.
-
Hawkins needs to be restricted to three dribbles or less
-
So coaches can step out on the court to interfere with plays now? Good to know.
-
How does a coach get to do that?! That should’ve been our ball.
-
That was some Mike Tomlin bullshit. Unbelievable.
-
Domask obviously fouled on that shot that went in. C'mon refs. And keep Willard in the box and not interfering with play.
-

Yep, and his yapping at TSJ should have at least got a warning.
-
Domask gets a shiner = play on
Young gets a ticky tack foul = Nah that shit ain't gonna fly
Fuck these asshole refs
-
Let Domask get doubled in the backcourt while the other 4 get their spot around the arc?

Typical Big10 reffing, been like this since I was a young guy, and I'm old.
-
Even with all the BS, we’re up 5 and I’m ok with that.
-
Yeah I can't complain with being up 5 on the road. I don't care who we have to sacrifice to get a win against Maryland. Get it done!
-
Maryland shooting 50% from the field. Not a surprise when they've once again been terrorizing us in the paint.
-
Couple of trips down the court that were weak.
-
Guys can't stop drives into the lane.
-
Intention foul?!
-
We're probably going to have win this from the line.
-
Intention foul?!
Central State 8 refs probably better than Big10 refs.
-
I'm tearing myself away from enjoying myself for a chance for a kick in the nuts.
LFG !!
-
So how can the fans chant “rapist,” “lock him up,” and “non means no,” and nothing happens but giving the horns down sign against Texas is a technical?!
I in no way am asking the refs to do that, just curious why.
-
Really dumb, Ty. That cost us 2 points and you got your 4th.
-
We better not collapse and start settling for 3’s! How does their bench get away with so much shit?!
-
Reece just tackled Hawkins. What the fuck?!
-
TAKE GOODE OUT OF THE GAME ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
And Dain should be playing more in this game.
-
Not a lot of minutes for Goode but 4 fouls? Hey BU does that tell ya something?
-
The announcers get it with Goode. They mentioned that Maryland is hunting him out and attacking him.
-
And Dain should be playing more in this game.
With all the play down low, he should be in there.
-
Nice swing there and TSJ is clutch!
-
TSJ TIME!
-
As soon as I say that he misses the damn FT
-
A big road win !!!
-
Thank you for not fouling and allowing us to burn precious seconds you might have needed, Willard.
-
A big road win !!!
Incredible effort by our kids, especially down the stretch. Domask saved our asses denying Young an easy 2 on the break.
I'm thinking TSJ is finally back.
-
A big road win !!!
Yes sir, road W is always good.
Gotta clean up that defense from allowing all those drives into the lane.
-
Great win on the road. Underwood was feeling a little like Juwan Howard does against us, in College Park.
-

I was scratching my head with that decision.
-
Thank fuck
-
I was scratching my head with that decision.
I've never seen a coach essentially throw in the towel down 4 with 40 seconds left.
-
That was insane and I thank him greatly
-
So I guess it's back to the dreaded #10 again.

Don't care. At tPSU next then home vs the fucks that took care of Wisco today.
Just win both.

Our offense has become very good. A lot of ways to score. Have to hand it to Hawkins. Don't look now but he is our leading 3 point shooter and is effectively driving to the rim sometimes.
And I like the give the ball to TSj and GTFO of his way at end game.
He is a FT machine.
Our defense is struggling. Cannot stop penetration or any scoring post. Have to clean that up heading into tourney. You don't win 2 or 3 or 4 games by just outscoring people in NCAAs.
We are not going to play anybody any good the rest of the way except for Purdue in season or BTT, or MSU in tourney.
We are looking like we will win 14 or maybe even 15 games in BT.
Might grab a 3 seed which will help to get off the 4 line.

Great win. On to the next.
-
Still don’t trust this team but 5-1 to finish doesn’t seem unreasonable at all to me. Good to see Shannon coming back into himself in the most hostile environment he’ll likely see, and Domask and Hawkins relearning how they fit in with that.
Thought the defense was better tonight when they needed stops. We just don’t have the personnel to stop some matchups, unfortunately. Maryland should have a much better record with the guys they have. They’re a bad matchup for us, like usual. They have an elite defense and we hung 85 on them at their place in front of a sold out crowd.
Liked how they schemed some stuff in on defense tonight but didn’t rely on it too heavily, kind of not tipping their hand for when they need it against a better team.
-
Really solid win. I'm encouraged that we have more often than not we seem to have done well enough at the free throw line in road environments because there's a fair possibility they run into a team in the 1st or 2nd game of the tourney who can't quite keep up defensively and it winds up putting us on the line a ton. And I don't know if it's just getting back to midseason form or what, but Hawkins has jumped at least 10 points in basketball IQ since November.
-
I wasn't aware but Domask finished with the double double, 19 and 12.
Guerrier finished with 9 and 1. We need him back getting some rebounds but he at least put up some points.
Goode with goose eggs everywhere except minutes and fouls, 9 and 4.
-
QG has done this his whole career unfortunately. Has stretches he looks like he could play in the NBA then disappears for several games.
-
Yeah he was a double double machine early on. Maybe the newborn is keeping him up at night. Who knows.

Coleman Hawkins is safely off my shit list. His shot selection has improved significantly and he's shooting the open ones with a lot more confidence. Still has his few "wtf" moments like blindly throwing the ball over his head towards Maryland's basket but he's playing like an All-American the last month. No complaints here.
