I loved the defensive effort from the Minnesota game. Really thought everyone, including Plummer to an extent, played strong on that end. That was our best defensive performance season to date. Hopefully we continue to see it from here on out.
-
Got ILLINI win and under in 8 game parlay...we will see.
-
ILL -11.5 O/U -140. Probably a game I would stay away from.
-
Brian Custer is torture at play by play.
-
2 on Kofi and 2 on Payne
-
Here we go again letting another team hang around
-
Maryland doing a good job running our shooters off the 3 point line.
-
Undy calls his first timeout after Maryland makes a 16 point run.
-
What fuckery is this.
-
Brian Custer is torture at play by play.
Can't remember ever hearing him before, and not making much of an impression on me. Thank goodness he's not paired with Bonespur Bill Walton.
There is no way Maryland should be winning this game.
-
What the fuck are we doing?! That Scott kid is kicking our ass all by himself.
-
Feels like the Cincinnati game.
-
6 minutes without a FG. Smh
-
Went from up 21-7 to down 34-30,
-
No blocking out on the defensive end, Williams on the court taking shots because he made 1, not smart basketball.
-
Hard to play with 2 fouls each on the 5s
-
Hanging on the rim and teabagging someone isn't a technical I guess. Cool.
-
Did Ayo say Kofi needs another year after this year ?
-

They'll call that against the Illini though.
-
Fuck yeah Trent!
-
Did Ayo say Kofi needs another year after this year ?
I believe so.
Starting to turn it up defensively.
Huge 3s
-
Trent Motherfuckin’ Frazier, Bitches!!
-
They'll call that against the Illini though.
With a lifetime ban and death by firing squad thrown in for good measure.
-

Be careful saying that, you’ll have PassivePussy talking about how you rape your daughter and shit for saying that.
-
LOL at Curbelo.
-
Double double

Yeah, I hear ya.
Keep the foot on the gas.
SLAM DUNK!
-
DaMonte making shots a little tougher for Scott
-
DaMonte making shots a little tougher for Scott
Maybe Williams told Undy that Scott is chewing Dentyne.
-
Grandison can't buy a shot tonite
-
Pretty sure Kofi got hacked there.
-
Coach pointing out to the ref that there was hacking going on.
-
Grandison got robbed on bank shot.
Plummer on the boards with the big guys.
Another SLAM DUNK!
-
Kofi is a FUCKING BEAST!
-
Nice win!
Thanks for pissing Kofi off, Reese.
-
lol Vegas. IL -12 140.
-
Good 2nd half
-
Good win. 4-0.
Next up at Nebraska Tues.
-
IU kicked the crap out of OSU.
-
2 turnovers in the 2nd half. 5 in the 1st.
-
2 turnovers in the 2nd half. 5 in the 1st.
lowest of the season?
-
Intensity on both ends picked up after the teabag no-call. Maryland wasn't getting many easy looks.
Have to learn to play extended stretches without Kofi. It wasn't pretty when he sat out, and that's putting it mildly.
Shoot 26% from 3, Plummer and Grandison have off shooting nights and we still pull out a double digit win.
Maryland usually has us scouted well. Feels nice to finally beat these guys after choking away so many games to them over the years.
-

I would guess lowest under Underwood.

Payne picked up 2 fouls also. And went back in in the 1st half.

Maybe they should not have pressured their coach to leave.
-
Watched this at my Purdue fan neighbors’ who were doing their best to be polite and not openly root against the Illini since we stood to go 4-0 to their 1-2. They had to settle for celebrating the IU win through clenched teeth.
No surprise we struggled against their length without Kofi to draw double and triple teams. That’s the Achilles heel of this team, and a Curbelo return does nothing to help it. But we survived an ice cold shooting night by multiple excellent shooters by adjusting to attacking the basket and locking down on defense. We very obviously hedge off non-shooters in order to get in position to rebound, and usually it works very well, but it did burn us several times tonight.
Even when Md made their run I wasn’t concerned. Just one of those games I felt confident in the matchup.
-
Which reminds me two of my other close neighbors are Bama and Joe-Jah fans, gotta make sure I get them together for a game watch.
-
" the IU win"
The IU win ?
-
Solid 2nd half to close them out. Refreshing that we've developed a bit mentally since Cincy.
-
Maybe they should not have pressured their coach to leave.
The coach responsible for the Illinois scout, Matt Brady, is still on the staff.

Am I the only one who thinks tOSU was a flash in the pan?
-
I like this team a LOT

They beat Duke and pummeled Wisconsin. Didn’t lose to all the bad teams they played. That’s usually enough to get a team a top 15 ranking going into the meat of conference play.
Ultimately I think they’ll play more to their preseason expectations going forward, Chris Holtmann magic be damned.
I think the B1G title is Illinois’ to lose at this point. Purdue is prone to long stretches without scoring and we have the bigs to neutralize theirs. But they’ll rack up plenty of wins not playing us.
MSU hasn’t beaten anyone and got blown out by the one good team they played. We’ll get homered at Mackey and Breslin, and will probably drop a couple of head scratchers along the way when shots aren’t falling or Kofi gets in foul trouble or is allowed to be mugged at will.
At this point I think 15-5 probably wins the regular season conference title. Indiana poses an unexpected threat. I think we will handle them okay but they’ll also rack up plenty of wins not playing us.
-
Wiscy looks pretty damn tough.
-
Pretty cool that DeRozen came down with Ayo
-
ANyone notice we seem to play few weekend games now?
-
Wiscy looks pretty damn tough.
Jonathan Davis is a player.

Very very cool.

He was amused by the pep band's taunts.

What time, date, channel is the game?!
-
Nobody knows.
-
Sure hope it’s not at a time I find inconvenient.
-
I'm glad it's early. The DC Metro has stupid hours these days.

Did Kofi make the trip?
-
hearing Kofi isn't going to play?
-
Read that as well. Next man up. Might be an interesting starting lineup. Maybe tempo can twitt about it with coach.

What and where ?
It looks like the odds haven't changed and still around 7-7.5 ?

It's been going around the friendbook. Says he's been ruled out for the game. Sorry, can't really point to any one source. Somebody said he was at a women's game last night and didn't make trip. IDK.
-
Just great.
He's in concussion protocol.
-
Just had a Maryland fan text me that. When did that happen??
-
Probably when he got pulled to the floor by the PU player, hit his head on the floor and got a foul called on him for good measure.
-
Did Kofi make the trip?
Is there a reason he wouldn’t?

JUST IN: Illini center Kofi Cockburn out against Maryland due to concussion protocol.
Says it happened in practice Sunday which might explain the issues he had on Monday in game.
-
Fuck
-
unleash the Leib!
-
Against Maryland wouldn’t mind seeing Coleman at the 5 and Grandison at the 4 just to see what happens
-
Or Monte at the 5 and Coleman at the 3.
-
Is there a reason he wouldn’t?
Yes.
-
Yes.
Correct.
-
Hope he's available to deliver a pounding to MSU. We owe them for what happened to Ayo last year.

Tempo comes here for news, evidently.

Kofi just got called for a foul by B1G refs because of this comment. Good job! 😡
-
No Kofi…
So basically a repeat of the Marquette game…
We lead from start to finish and lose…
Curbelo 7-15 FG with 10 turnovers driving to the lane and throwing the ball to the other team for layups…Can’t wait to see it…
-
Still -4.5 favorite without Kofi

Concussion was Sun. Elbows like this one didn't help.
-
Lol. No respect from the Terps.

oh Curbelo

ughhh
-
This has been ugly.
-
Back 2 bad curbello
-
We can't stop Ahab the Arab
-
Hawkins asking for more bench time
-
Damonte....idiot
-
he's had several lazy passes. The effort has been poor on the defensive end.
-
Plummer is just so damn good from 3
-
Rutgers is going to have to play better, and play some defense or Plummer is going to have to score 60.

Yeah, I don’t Google Illini Basketball news first thing every day. Sorry.
-
Damonte....idiot
Playing Williams and Payne at the same time=3 against 5 when Illini are on offense.
-
Heat it up Trent
-
BBV looking more and more like a solid contributor

He's doing OK. Charged with a ticky tack foul.

Cheap fouls called.
BU should go on a ref chewing that Bob Knight/Gene Keady would admire.

Williams!!!!!!!

Every B1G coach should. The B1G refs are the worst in the country. Boycott

Please pull Damonte

6 boards and 5 assists to go with 0-4 from the floor.

Please pull Damonte
Just because he's a senior doesn't mean he deserves playing all these minutes.

I cut him more slack than most people, but he is not having a good game.
-
6 boards and 5 assists to go with 0-4 from the floor.
Boards and assists are a positive, his shooting is god awful.
Let's see if Curbelo can play under control.
-
Our defense is so fucking bad right now.
-
And another bad shot by Williams
-
We have no idea how to run offense.
-
We just had Wiliams, Hawkins, Payne and Curbelo to go with Frazier.
-
this is a loss
-
crippling loss to the resume.
-
Just layup after layup
-
Huge 3 by Grandison after the blocked shot
-
Da monte....
-
Damonte
-
Just hand them the ball Williams
-
Da monte got fouled
but whatever why call a foul on us?
-
Yeah he did get fouled.
They called that a traveling violation on Plummer?! Fuck this
-
its gonna be another 2nd rd exit ain't it?
-
Plummer fouled and called for a travel. What a joke.
-

Courtney Green ?
-
A Hawkins 3 is not the shot there
-
we've shot 30 three pointers tonight.
-
good board Grandison
-
Unfortunately, no one's going to remember Kofi was out from this game. Not a good loss short of Maryland gelling and streaking its way into the tourney.
Can't wait to be a 7 seed.
-
🤣🤣🤣
-
we've shot 30 three pointers tonight.
Because we have no idea how to manufacture offense.
-
6-23 from 3 other than Plummer
-
I called it…
What do I win…
-
embarrassing.
-
Once the Kofi news hit, I had a feeling we would drop this one even against a bottom-of-the-conference foe like Maryland.
This is a "meh and move on" loss for me. Not even shocked or upset really.
-
So much for deepest Illini team ever.
-
Underwood without Kofi is a garbage coach of a mediocre program
-
we've shot 30 three pointers tonight.
Live by the 3, die by the 3
-
Fucking embarrassing. Even with Kofi out ending on a 24-7 run with our depth and senior leadership is not acceptable.

The only thing that really bothers me is how we peed down our leg down the stretch.
-
Plummer showed up 1st half and nobody else showed up. Including the coaches.
-
Why does William's get so many minutes??? Dude does nothing
-

Underwood is a system coach. He never changes anything in-game.
He will need overwhelming talent advantage to win the NCAA while not making any adjustments

This is and has been proven a myth, but troll away.
-

Yeah that was not ideal
-
Illinois deserved that loss. I mean nobody played good defense. BBV was at least *trying* to be physical but even he was underwhelming.
I would not be happy if I was RJ melendez watching D. Williams get picked on the entire game and yet he is stuck on the bench.
Underwood needs to get a grip. He just got embarrassed, by Danny Manning of all people. 👍
-
So, in a guard driven era, Underachiever gets his shit pushed in by Danny Manning because Illinois' center is out?
-
If Cuerbelo is sick, why was he playing?
-
Yeah RJ Melendez should NOT be sitting on the bench behind Damonte Williams. Especially after shit like this.
-
Meh on to the next one, hopefully with kofi and some heart from the rest of the team
-
Why does William's get so many minutes??? Dude does nothing
This is what I kept thinking. He can jump high but only straight up and not while he's moving laterally?
Zero freshman minutes, for fuk sake.
-
Williams played 34 minutes last night
Are we really gonna risk losing these talented freshmen so he can play 34 minutes?
-
Underwood loves his little DaMonte. Always has. We struggled last year until his minutes got reduced.
Needed to make adjustments on defense to stop the layup drill going on all night.
A zone would have at least mixed it up. We got abused.
-
How does DaMonte play 34 minutes and not pick up a foul ?
Granted, Curbelo didn't look right last night but who's going to be the 1st media guy to ask if Curbelo will start vs MSU ?
-
BBV and Payne had 2 rebounds in 37 minutes.
-
Podz was the 1st off the bench, at 6 1/2 min, out of Goode, Melendez and him. That seemed an odd choice to me. He's struggled in conference play and hasn't played much. He had a turnover, and sat back down. That was it for him until 45 seconds left in the game.
Goode got 5 minutes, but did get 3 rebounds.
-
Underwood loves his little DaMonte. Always has. We struggled last year until his minutes got reduced.
Not that I remember, but was it reducing his minutes or shortening the bench that got us playing more consistently ?
-
They finally started Grandison IIRC.
Brought Williams off bench.
-
who's going to be the 1st media guy to ask if Curbelo will start vs MSU ?
Scott Beatty, on Thursday morning.
-
Rob, I probably missed it, but was Curbelo sick as referenced above?
He looked really off.
-
Yeah. Fever.
-
Why doesn't RJ Melendez play?
-
Why doesn't RJ Melendez play?
This is my biggest gripe. He is the most talented of the 3 freshman and should be getting more minutes. I’ve been AOTC on this from very early on and been preaching he needs more.
-
Damonte is the career leader in games played at Illinois but I think he’ll end up being one the most forgettable players ever
-
Its starting to sound like no Belo tomorrow tonight, Trent is hurt and Kofi is out till at least Wisconsin. :-X
-
Well fuck
-
Nothing official but the rumblings are there
-
Not good.
-
Kofi could be out today and in tomorrow. It depends on how he cares in protocol testing.
