Ey rob quit slacking and link your poor quality videos, truth give us some bad takes and paman tell tempo when the fuckng game is on. Cmon people get your shit together
-
I am pretty sure Zoner is going to kick our ass. But I wouldn’t be shocked if we kept it close or even pulled out a win.
-
Tim Brando and Nick Bahe, whoever he is, doing the game.
I saw 1 point dawgs. I expected more.

I'll go out on a limb, and concur.

Is Tempo really named Wayne??? It is all becoming clear now.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say we win by 4. Final score 77-73.

what does the papier mache say?
-
KenPom and Vegas seem pretty favorable towards us in this game all things considered. I see a matchup nightmare.

Lol wow what a limb you went out on.
Covered every outcome

Looks like they have a 6'10" forward who can score. Harper and Murray aren't 6'10".
Plus a 6'6" wing who can score. Should keep DaMonte busy.

The last time this happened Michigan kicked the shit out of us with practice jerseys on.

That was fun!

If we play them even in TO's, we've got a shot. Otherwise, 10 toes up.

I ‘member 😩
-
Idk if it’s been said on here yet or not, but Hutcherson is out the rest of the year according to Underwood on the pregame show.
-
Let’s get this party started! Go Illini!
-
As long as Curbelo isn’t playing we should be good…
Why would Arizona kick our ass?
We were ranked higher than they were preseason…
Now that the problem has been solved we should be good…
Illinois 85
Arizona 73
-
Well they’re pressing. Get Damonte outta there lol
-
Damn they’re long and athletic. Get Damonte outta there damnit. We are gonna need A LOT of offense and he’s not gonna cut it.
-
I’ve changed my mind…
3 minutes in and we forgot how to get the ball to Kofi…
Arizona 85
Illinois 64

Cursed

What is the nature of the injury?
-
Is curbello going to red shirt or what???
-
Same with Hutcherson. Dude never plays.
-
Finish.
-
What is the nature of the injury?
Athletic hernia or athletic herniated disc or some shit like that. But said he out all year.
-
2 on Hawkins
-
That Lithuanian dude reminds me of the Russian off Rocky. He’s massive and same demeanor.
-
Athletic hernia or athletic herniated disc or some shit like that. But said he out all year.
Thanks. Sucks for the kid.
Damn, Plummer has been a helluva get.
-
2 on Larsson too.
-
Athletic hernia or athletic herniated disc or some shit like that. But said he out all year.
The back was last year. He injured something else this year, and aggravated it.
-
Thanks. Sucks for the kid.
Damn, Plummer has been a helluva get.
If not for Plummer, we'd be screwed so far today.
Hawkins has got to quit getting these early fouls.
-
Kofi!
-
We're getting killed on the offensive boards
-
Trent!
-
Sick crossover by Trent!
-
That’s cash, baby!!!! Trent fucking Frazier!
-
Idk if it’s been said on here yet or not, but Hutcherson is out the rest of the year according to Underwood on the pregame show.
Seems to have Epstein-Dudek Syndrome.
-
Way to step up Frazier with Plummer getting a breather.
-
Just great play on both ends
-
Holy shit, this is fucking awesome and lit as fuck! The atmosphere is like a National Championship game. Wow
-
This is fucking fun.
-
This is so fucking fun!
-
Damonte was boxing out, wtf
-
3 on Larsson
-
Make a play for once in your life Payne.
-
Make a play for once in your life Payne.
Yeah he needs to show something. Pretty disappointing.
-
Can’t watch this…
Let’s go on a run then take the foot off the gas and get lazy with the ball…
Still not getting Kofi enough looks…
What you’re all seeing is fools gold if it continues like this in the 2nd half…
-

Wtf are you talking about? We’re up at half against a much more athletic and bigger team. Stfu and get off here. You have no idea what you’re talking about troll.
-
Didn't like our finish to the half but we're up 4.
Payne is..not very good right now. He needs to give us something. Anything.
-
Hawkins needs to step up in this second half. This is exactly the type of game he should thrive in.
-
Up by 4 at half, I’ll take it. There were some haymakers thrown that first half. Wow, back and forth.
-
Sure I do…
We go on a 19-0 run, then let’s give the ball to Granderson at half court, turn the ball over and a way we go…
Rest of the half looked like predictable garbage…
Hopefully Frazier and Plummer have another half of hero ball in them since we’re not feeding Kofi, otherwise we lose by double digits…
-
Up 46-38 in shooting, up 24-22 In boards, up 7-5 In assists, down 10-8 In turnovers.
2nd chance points, points in the point, points off turnovers and 17 by Mathurin keeping Zona in.
-
Grandison is playing out of his mind. 17/34 on 3s this year. He really is the X factor in these last several games.
You know what you’re going to get from most of the guys game in and game out but it’s Grandison upping his game to get you a win at Iowa and winning this game

Kofi getting PUNKED to start this second half
-
Kofi and the bringing the ball down crap everytime. Just hold it high
-
Kofi and the bringing the ball down crap everytime. Just hold it high
Been a big problem for 3 years now.
This team needs to understand the importance of boxing out and wanting defensive rebounds.
-
Kofi has been terrible
-
Our fucking ball handling...grrrr
-
We're too stupid with the ball. Been a problem all year for us.
-
So careless with the ball!! 😡
-
Did a bunch of Arizona fans infiltrate the Orange Krush?
Why so many fans wearing Arizona colors with 6 on their shirts?
-
We suck…🤣🤣🤣.
Up 13 had a chance to knock them out and we took the foot off the gas…
-
We're too stupid with the ball. Been a problem all year for us.
Since day 1 with Underwood.
-
Arizona is on fire. Let’s see if Illinois has one more 19-0 run in them
-
Team needs Curbello back if its going to be a great team and beat the very top ones. They just dont have a #2 p.g.

Yeah, we need Curbelo back so he can drive the lane and do one of two things…throw up an errant shot or give the ball to the other team…
-
The 6th man on stripe the hall orange and blue
Ok they should never do that promotion again. It’s way more intimidating when everyone is wearing 1 color
-
Man, I wish Damonte would knock it off with that right arm extended trying to pass it into the post.
-
Win or lose this has been a great game to watch. Helps to look good when you are 14/29 on 3s but still very good flow to this game.
-
0/10 from 2's. Where's this efficient offense we hear so much about.
-
Finally a bucket from Kofi.
And another.
-
Kofi getting it going now.
-
Kofi with the double double
-
Kofi 💪🏿 is one strong motherfucker! Now make your free throws!
-
Free throws. Let's go.
-
Did Brando say Zona should be ranked #2 earlier ?
-
Did Brando say Zona should be ranked #2 earlier ?
Yeah
-
Did Brando say Zona should be ranked #2 earlier ?
yes he did.
-
Damonte, fuck!
Let’s go!
-
Kriisa just throwing it at the rim and it's going in.
-
Plummer is incredible. Can’t remember the last time we had a guy like him with that quick of release.
-
We have 4 guys who have scored. 25,24,12,11
-

Cory Bradford?
-
Figures those are the only two angles we get
-
Wtf Plummer? Dribble the damn ball.
-
Well, that's so Illinois
-
Absolute stupid basketball
-
Ugly offense last couple minutes. Kofi took a a bad 16 footer, Grandison took couple quick 3s at the top of the key, and that 5 second call on Plummer just can’t have that mental mistake.
Credit to Arizona. They are exceptionally well coached
-
32% shooting 2nd half
-
That 5 second call was the game. Wtf was he thinking?!
-
We have 4 guys who have scored. 25,24,12,11
And all 4 of those guys are gone next year unless Kofi comes back
-
Wtf Plummer? Dribble the damn ball.
Underwood walking the other way looking at the floor when the whistle was blown.
-
This was winnable but you can't play stupid ball against a team like Zona and expect to win.
Gotta smarten up.
-
That 5 second call was the game. Wtf was he thinking?!
He wasn’t thinking
-
Trent just caused a bunch of gamblers some money.
-
Why we lost…
68 field goal attempts…
36 three point attempts…
Not a balanced offense…
-
Is this what we're reduced to? These two assholes dominating the game thread.
-
Can’t complain about that game. Very well played.
Kofi probably lost some $$$$ today bc he wasn’t good.
Rest of the team did their jobs. And that effort would beat just about everyone else in college basketball except for the very top teams
-
Is this what we're reduced to? These two assholes dominating the game thread.
Hey look kid…
You should be frustrated at coach Underwhelm…
Not us…
-

I think 3s and Kofi shots are our best offense but the main problem shooting so many 3s is you just aren’t going to get many free throw points playing that way
The live ball turnovers were also a killer. Arizona got had to be 15 points off transition points. Can’t give up easy points like that
-
The game changed after the Damonte tech. You'd think he learn how to keep his emotions in check with this being his 15th year playing college ball and all.
-
Kofi played 33 minutes with no fouls. 13 points, 13 boards.
-

Lol 3 point shooting was the only thing that kept us in the game. How is the Truth parody worse than the actual one?
-
We shot 40%. That ain't going to beat good teams.
Zona is tall. That don't help.
-
Is this what we're reduced to? These two assholes dominating the game thread.
My thoughts exactly.
-

I say two assholes, and look who is the first to respond.
-
Underwood just said in the post game this is the softest team he’s ever had lol.
Throwing the team under the bus after that game is strange to me. But perhaps he’s just talking about Curbelo
-
Lol 3 point shooting was the only thing that kept us in the game. How is the Truth parody worse than the actual one?
Point taken…
Next game we’re only allowed to shoot 3’s only and see how it works out…
-
Arizona might be the most complete and talented team we play all season. They’re legit. Yes, that includes Purdue.
-
From Underwood:
Really hammering the team on being soft. Says he's never had a team as soft as this one.
Took blame for the Plummer 5 second call. Says he was waiting for guys to get set and he didn't know the rule. I don't know how a basketball player doesn't know that rule but I give Underwood credit for taking the heat.
Says Kofi is dealing with a bone bruise in his knee.

https://twitter.com/srrichey/status/1469838427998851086?s=21
He’ll never play at this level.
And after CurBelo leaves for Christmas he ain’t coming back
-

This. Hard to complain.
We had two starters have very subpar games and were right there with 25 seconds to go against what looks like a national title contender.
Kofi had an off game also.
Need to work on ball screen defense is biggest issue. Ball handling will be an ongoing issue.
Maybe play some zone a few possessions to mix it up when we have to go small.
Good effort and just came up short.
-
How do we play 10 guys and only 4 of them score anything?

I'm not sure they've played anyone else who's a legit top 10-15 team.
-
I'm not sure they've played anyone else who's a legit top 10-15 team.
Hard to say, but they have all the pieces on both sides of the ball.
They really guard and can score in multiple ways.
Have 2 guys who look like 1st round types.
Are #1 in Net ranking FWIW. I guess we will see as other teams catch up on D as season progresses, but they are very good.
-
How do we play 10 guys and only 4 of them score anything?
why complain? Good old damonte played 29 minutes and combined for 0 points. Good job damonte. Yet he does the little things to win. Still trying to figure out what these are and do they really matter.
-
I am pretty sure Zoner is going to kick our ass. But I wouldn’t be shocked if we kept it close or even pulled out a win.
Looks like you were spot on with your analysis.

It wouldn’t be nearly as fun if he had any self awareness about it.

I tried to tell a couple of stupid fucks on here that it’s a bad idea to even engage Truth. But no, I got shouted down for it.
So yes, this is what you’re reduced to.
-
It wouldn’t be nearly as fun if he had any self awareness about it.
At least he didn’t fire off like 4 in a row right back at you.
I think that’s my favorite. He complains when people make long posts, then fires off a whole page of one liners. I swear to god, I counted 14 in a row one time.
Oh, and Tempo. I’m not talking to you. No need to respond to me.
Actually, I’ll get ahead of it and just go ahead and tell you to go fuck yourself now.
-
Here’s the official news on Hutcherson.
https://twitter.com/srrichey/status/1469838427998851086?s=21
epstein-dudek syndrome
From what I can gather, that had do with lower abs. Should recover fully from surgery.
I figure he has two potential years of elegibility. One free covid year and one medical redshirt. Assuming he has or will graduate, he could use them here or elsewhere. Am I wrong?

He'll be 24 in April and essentially not playing for 3 years.
Hope all goes well for him.

Guessing there is about zero chance this dude plays basketball for Illinois

Yeah that’s a scholarship that could be going to an actual player that plays. Like Groce said, scholarships are like gold lol.
-
I'd wager money on his return.
-
I don’t doubt he’ll soak up a scholarship as long as he can, just don’t think he’s going to play basketball here. I wish he could.
-
He's not a waisted scholarship. (Nor is Brandon Lieb.)

No comments on Underachiever calling this team soft after the game?

I can’t help it you’re soft.

And worse yet, a guy who talks like a tough guy but is soft as room temperature butter emotionally.
-

I dont think he was happy with lack of rebounding, the pick-pocketing, and the common thievery.

what's that is his job to stay around 34" ??

Can't say I've ever visited any of those pages, but the meme for me is pretty amusing, I'll allow it

Haha
-
I don’t doubt he’ll soak up a scholarship as long as he can, just don’t think he’s going to play basketball here. I wish he could.
None of his injuries have been career ending.
Scholarships for new recruits will come from somewhere. I think if everyone who could return returned; they'd be +2.
-
Some guys just can’t stay healthy and he seems to be one of them. I believe I read somewhere that he is almost 24. I’d love to be wrong and hope he becomes a star here. Just hard to keep hoping.
-

Is 24 his age or his waist size?

You may have read it here.
"He'll be 24 in April and essentially not playing for 3 years"
-
He's been playing this year.
-
After not playing actual games for 2.5 years he gets hurt in an exhibition game then managed 61 mostly ineffective minutes across four games, then suffered a different, season-ending injury. That’s just brutal.
-

I got the impression he suffered a sports hernia, which would explain ineffective play, then aggravated it.
If he wants to move on, that will be his decision.
If he wants to further his education, I assume we will honor his scholarship.
Definitely a tough 3 years for him tho.
-
That’s crazy that Hutcherson will be 24 next season. And barely played college ball.
-
I was surprised by how slight he was when he finally saw the court.
-
His official bio is 6-6/190, which means he may actually be 6-4/175 or somewhere in between, which is pretty thin by athletic standards.
It's a shame he's had the injury course he did. Played 35+/g as a freshman, too. Would have been nice to see what he could have done here healthy given that we weren't the only good basketball school recruiting him.
-

I feel like I mentioned this point.

Luther Head had similar injury and came back way better player but given Hutch’s age I doubt he ever contributes much.
If guy is 24 and has aspirations of playing pro ball anywhere I’d not advise them to waste the finite years they have as a 6th year college player

Austin Hutcherson will actually be 24 on April 7 2022. For comparison, Kenny Battle turned 24 on October 10 1988. JCL turned 25 on July 15 2021.
KB's dob was 10/10/1964

😂🤣 man that was probably the most impressive season in the history of college basketball for Battle.
-
JCL turned 25 on July 15 2021.
JCL’s played for 4 different high D1 teams. That has to be a record.
Illinois
DePaul
Iowa State
Kansas
Although with free transfer rule, this may occur more frequently.
JCL in his 7th year of college 😂.I wonder if he has a degree yet
-
He’s about to finish his Master’s.
