This thread needs more disinformation to be a proper HQ2 game thread.

Joe Davis does LA Dodgers TV games so I get to hear him every day for baseball. Really good and does a really good job at basketball also. Casey Jacobsen played at Stanford, does a good job. Not as good as Robbie Hummell but a good color guy. He's no Bill Bonespur Walton, not putting viewers to sleep with non-game action dribble/crap. Better than Bardo, better than Kellogg, IMO.

Aaahh. They did an earlier game for us. I think I remember easy to tune out, so much better than Walton, Kellogg or Raftery. I dont have a problem with Bardo. I tune him out for the most part.

COVID is over, Kevin Durant is back, Illini should win, and my busy season is ending. Time to rejoice.

Williams misses from 3. Just pass, set screens to get the real shooters open, rebound, and defend.
-
Nice move Payne! Dang!
-
Payne with the spin. :D
-
Just a reminder of football at We Are ..

And Goode with the hug.

Plummer for 3! Good movement and screens.

Casey was an awesome player who peaked at age 19-20 and had enough white wherewithal to go to Stanford.
Do not like our shot selection so far, but moving the ball well, etc.
-
Williams making me eat my words about shooting 3s.
-
Underwhelm adding playing down to the opponent to his playbook…
I’m with Tempo at this point…The whole chuck a 3 playbook is getting boring…
-
Goode is worthless…
-
You know your not playing well when damonte is your leading scorer.
-
We are playing like ass.
-
FULL RED FACE TACTIC EMPLOYED..
Time for a run
-
Boy, ragged offense. WAKE UP! Settling for 3s against a team that lost to Nebraska.
-
Kofi 1-3 fg’s…
Unacceptable…
Do your job Underwhelm…

31% ain't gonna beat many teams.
Give Shrewsberry credit. We're taking what they're giving us. Jacked up shots.
-
Was making dinner and had it on as background noise more than anything. Managed to catch the words “no offensive rhythm” uttered by the announcer. Anyway, carry on.
-
Finally, some offense other than jacking up 3s.
-
no emotion
-
F you Underwhelm…
This is pathetic…
-
no emotion
None at all. Allowing State Penn to get offensive boards. Just blah attitude.
-
I am not looking forward to our humiliating first round defeat
-
we are for sure a 4 or 5 seed in NCAA unless we win out and get a 3
-
finish
-
This is a dumpster fire that looks like Penn St is going to run out of time to make worse…
We play like this Sunday against Iowa we lose by 20+…
-
Oh darn I pulled a Tempo and forgot there was a game on today.

PSU wanted to control tempo in a low scoring game. We obliged.
-
It’s clearly off Penn State. Just make the damn call and let’s fucking go refs!
-
Wait, wtf?!
-

I saw the score and thought it was a replay of a game from the Weber years.
-
Looked at clear video evidence for a solid 2 minutes and still got the call wrong. Smh
-
finish
This would be considered a great game in the 1940s Whiz Kids era.
How many times they got to review this....and still get it wrong.
-
Hey, a favorable call!
-
Iowa is gonna eat our dicks.
-
Plummer “guarding” like we’re up 12.
-
Up 14 in free shots to eek out a win.
-
I can't say much about this as I only caught the last 1:30 of it.
-

Good to see a 63% FT shooter sink 4 straight to seal the win.
-
We do not put teams down when we should. I'm legit worried about this team winning the BTT, being a 2/3 seed, and losing to the 14/15.
-
Wasn't pretty. Lol.
-
We're not winning the BTT.
-

Played out a lot like the @ NW game.
-
Meh. Let's see if they dial it up again Iowa.
-
That was hard on the eyes
-
They always play down to the competition.

As for Kofi…
I see him either coming back or transferring because the NBA won’t take him…
Right now he’s Shaq, but soft around the rim…
He needs another year to block shots and find a mid range game…And not to bring the ball down and just dunk the damn ball…
-

Pretty much. They had a great defensive game plan for Kofi and the personnel to pull it off. Both teams missed scads of open looks from three. PSU looked fired up and we looked largely disinterested. Rob pretty much nailed it in his pregame write up—classic trap game.
Despite how close it was I was never really worried we’d lose, though.
Why the hell was Plummer in there on their next to last possession where they buried the three to make it a two point game? I was absolutely dumbfounded when I saw him coming out on the court out of the break.
And why was Kofi in there for the subsequent inbounds play when we needed free shot shooters and ball handlers?
Only thing I can come up with other than complete mental lapse from the staff is that they’re prioritizing tournament readiness?
Gonna have to be happy with the W, put this behind us, and get ready for a spirited effort from the Frans.

I hate that I’m even addressing this post, but you’re kind of right for once.
I can’t believe they don’t have Kofi committing to making a move more quickly yet. The defenses being thrown at him are evolving more quickly than he/the staff is.
Some of this is league familiarity and scouting and the degree to which teams are allowed to hang on, hack, and foul Kofi due to horrid league officiating. But this was our only matchup with PSU this year and they still put together a really good game plan. That’s a good indicator of how we are going to be scouted in the tourney. Thankfully DMW was able to make them pay for not guarding him.
Honestly not sure why Kofi would want to come back for another year of this bullshit unless we are showing him hella NIL money. It’s not progressing his game in any way that I can see other than he passes out more. Even that seems to have slowed. He has been able to shoot more jumpers this year, but they’re usually way off. He doesn’t look nearly as explosive as he did earlier in the year.
We don’t seem to able to get him anything going to the basket, he isn’t making decisive moves, he stands there and basically waits to make his move once the triple team is already there and he’s fucked. He needs to go right away and attack the rim as his default catch move. From that point we can call plays to shake it up where he waits for the triple to start to come and then have him pass it out. Letting him decide on his own isn’t working with too much frequency.
If I were Kofi I would probably enter the portal as soon as the season is over and let the bidding war commence. His income ceiling with his current skill set is almost certainly via NIL. Then evaluate the NIL numbers and choose a team in a conference with semi modern officiating where he isn’t going to be mauled each and every game.
-
And how about Trent’s defense and DMW just being a baller tonight?
-
Yeah once Oscar leaves Kentucky after this year, I can definitely see Kofi heading there. Just wonder if the agreement he couldn’t go there was just for this one year. Will be an interesting offseason for him for sure.
-

It's why he's been a starter the past few years. ;)

B1G needs to reevaluate the ref's and how they officiate games. This league cannot continue to get high level athletes who want to stretch the games out if mauling happens every game. Other conferences afford that type of flow to games and athletic abilities showcased.
Kofi is not a PRO in the truest form, but can make $$$ somewhere. This is why Ayo is encouraging him to go now, improve your game at the next level this type of hack a shaq on Kofi will not improve him. NCAA tournament may actually help him as the refs will be let the game flow more, but also may get him some more calls inside?
Won't win the B1G Tourney this year....we peaked early I think....hope I am wrong....also we could be gone if matched against any team with 2 good guards and 1 good wing player....when the tourney rolls around.
-
If we get seeded as a 4/5 and play a team like Arkansas in 2nd rd we will be in big trouble.
-
Iona as a 12 will beat Illinois as a 5. This Illini team is just not good right now. Seems like an old team going thru the motions.
