Tomi out, Riley & White questionable

Tomi played with strep @ MSU
-
Carey Booth break out game.

Thanks, not.
I heard 1 mention of not being healthy at MSU but there were no details offered.
-
FFSakes....this the season for Illinois sickness.
Step DGL/Humrich/Rez!
KJ will need to carry us and get even more creative in scoring tonight.
-
I see the awful officiating from East Lansing has carried over to tonight. That was a bullshit call on Morez.
-
The annual tradition of Maryland looking like national title contenders against us.
Morez just picked up #2. Oh boy.
-
And then he gets his 2nd
-
If either Reese/Queen do not get in foul trouble, we lose by 15+ tonight, we have already missed 5-6 bunnies at least.
-
First offensive rebound of the night for us goes to...Carey Booth. Just like we all predicted. And then he almost turns it over lol.
-
I don't know how but remarkably we're only down 3 going into half.
-
We are LUCKY to be down by 3, the defense looks like BU first year here. Williard has them schooled for sure, and I hate to say it but Reese is right, so far everyone is too small to stop him/Queen from whatever they want.
Speed them up in the 2nd (both teams like to play fast), and let a little more energy from DGL come out. His intensity is what this team needs right now. Make the Terps knock that chip off the shoulder.
-
4/17 from deep. Not gonna cut it. Need to get hot from three because we aren't stopping Reese and Dairy Queen from getting whatever they want in the paint.
-
I would design some drives with Queen iso on defense...some fakes and maybe some fouls inside or pushes trying to catch up. Either White/KJ
-

4-17 from deep is not good, neither is missing what like 10 around the rim point blank?
-
Reese has 14 and 9. He had a couple of double doubles against us last year. Having Queen to open things up helps them.
We're rebounding ok. Make more shots.
-
Boswell flashes wide open on the inbounds. KJ refuses it for some reason and it leads to another turnover.
-
The freshman big guy shoots 77% free shots.
-
Consecutive losses streak in serious jeopardy.
-
We get within 3 and they just stretch out the lead.
-
Zebras aren't going to call travel on Maryland. They've had at least 3 of them on the last two possessions.
-
Again we get a bit of momentum. Boswell turns it over and they hit a three. Story of the fucking game.
-
Morez has no boards. That's what kind of night it's been.
-
Tomi should demand a 500% raise to play the rest of the season
-
Team has the COVID and they looked every bit of it tonight. Another dud home loss.
-
If this is all it takes to get our ILLINI out of a groove, man the rest of the NCAA better save this tape and have 2 good quality B1Gs against us.
Maryland exposed us, sick or not, 1 starter out of the equation cannot have this effect if we have any hopes of a long season (tourney).

This has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the refs.
-

Sad part is we need both Boswell and KJ desperately, but man when they both have a high T/O night at the same time it is brutal. DGL is our MVP tonight in this stinker imo.
-
16 F*&%&G TURNOVERS from a "professional" young kid and a 3 year P-5 guard for the most part. Man just brutal.
-
Not going to be good for the old Kenpom rating. But wake me in March.
-
January John Groce would be proud of this run
-

I know. Maryland got away with some travels but that didn't come close to affecting the game.
Losing by 21 at home is not a ref issue. It's an us issue. And it's even more concerning after our last home loss which was also by double digits, sick or not sick.
-

Well said, Beastisback1997
-
Well on the bright side, who am I kidding, the only bright side to this game is that Booth got some minutes....that shouldn't be a plus for this team btw.
-
First game in a long time I turned off early, what a stinker

Ditto. I was sleeping before the game was over.
Edit: ........before the final buzzer.
The game was over well before the final buzzer.

Maybe he needs to yell at the players more.

Maybe he needs to actually beat their asses. Like he should have done with Mark Smith

Reese was pushing off a lot but the refs were not a big issue, shooting was and our atrocious post defense
-
In our last three recent losses we are 18-84 from three for 21%.
We are down to 254th in the country in 3 point shooting. 32% overall.
We have a lot of talent, but do not play very smart sometimes and got manhandled inside last night.

I remember looking at these types of stats in past years. The being in the top 25 in 3 point shots taken and ranking very poorly in 3 point shots made percentage was mind boggling to me.

Good points and very mind boggling that BU wants to keep doing this, especially when it seems that this team can almost score at will when they get downhill in their offensive sets and attack the paint/rim area. I mean we miss alot of layups, so if we get better at that, then we outscore anyone.
BTW that method of play will also open up ALOT of easier 3's when attempted as well.
-
Give credit to Maryland for their defense last night as well, I remember one possession in particular where we were literally playing hot potato around the perimeter with like 4-5 super fast passes and they still got up on us super quickly
-
Missed Ivisic's passing on offense..
-
Did what's his fuck (Jesus I can't remember his fucking name) overdose these idiots on Monster before the game?
What was that cocksucker's name?

What's his fuck's name is Matthew Mayer.

Should have called him up to haymaker these idiots like he haymaker’d Skyy Clark into taking his ball and going home.

I was afraid we might see this. He did not look good on the bench and if he had strep and the "flu" that was going thru the team I'm not surprised he ended up with what seems to be a common occurrence for kids that age.

I have not watched this team a lot, but in contrast to most previous years we actually have two guys who are lead guards and know how to use ball screens to create different actions and can create their own shot or penetrate.
Honestly we have not had real PG types hardly at all since DMac.
As noted also we have a big in Ivisic who can pass and shoot from perimeter.
Add in our ability to offensive rebound and there is no reason to rely so much on the three ball when it is not falling.

That's not good that can take forever to recover from

If he's that sick why the heck would you have him be on the bench

Mono isn't very contageous, its usually passed on through kissing or other bodily fluid sharing

Brad said he was “deathly” but had him on the bench looking awful while we got our shit pushed in mainly due to his absence. Not sure what good that did, he should have been in bed loaded up with hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

Let's hear what they would be!
1)Orange Krush needs redone. The atmosphere is BAD. It's not like it was at all! back in the day. If your gonna spend more time on phone then watching the game DO NOT GO
2)Better non conference home schedule. We need more SOLID opponents. The whole 1 big name at home aint gonna cut it no more!
3)Suits are MANDATORY , no more casual look for the coaches, suits, ties dress shoes.
4)1 game per year at a site in Illinois. Springfield, Bloomington, Peoria. We are a traveling team to come to parts of Illinois!!
5)Recruit 4 year guys. No more 1 and done, no more lets get this guy whos gonna transfer. Nope nu uh, old school ababy.. Build a foundation which will lead to long term investment and growth!
6)rock n roll music during breaks.
7)not so loud. music is ear splitting
8) ORANGE EVERY GAME. WE WEAR ORANGE EVEYR GAME SHOULD BE A ORANGE OUT
9)BRING BACK THE CHIEF......You gotta problem? Go root for Indiana or Iowa pal
