Epps, the guy transferring out, gets the start.
-
41 pts for tOSU. lol.
23-9 rebounding advantage.
24-12 points in the paint.
-
Freshmen Sensabaugh and Thornton with 27 and 10.
TSJ and Mayer with 21 and 7.
-
Outplayed for 39 minutes or so.
smdh.
-
Well, that was a massive pile of shit.
-
Why does this team have to get dogwhipped for 25 minutes almost every game before they get engaged? Can't remember seeing a team quite like this one, even in the bad years of Weber and Groce. This team is too talented to be used and abused so often.
-

yep
that fucking sucked

Illinois did not guard hard during the first half.
This team sucks so much, and Underwearwood didn't exactly shine in the second half. Trying to time substitutions is dicey until the last couple minutes of the game, but he ended up with Shannon out of the game on offense and then back in on D when he was in foul trouble.
I especially liked the part where the team was chucking 3s left and right, but then at the end of the game when they needed to be doing just that, they decided to pass the ball around.
Dainja is a liability at this point.

The hosting company I use had a scheduled maintenance. I did not know it was coming because the email went to my spam folder. Sorry.

On any given day, our resident #1 prick is sort of right about this year's team. They do suck at times. However, the talent is there.
They are shooting 45% on 59 shots per game. 56% on 34 twos; 31% on 25 threes. Hmmm?
He is obviously wrong about Rodgers and Mayer.
He is right about Clark, but most likely for the wrong reasons.
His Dainja / Pruitt comparison made no sense.
Something is off with Dainja though, since the hard fall, and it is more than the NW double team.

This team is 320th in 3's.
The coach needs to devise a better offensive scheme. Can't have 40% of the offense relying on 3's.

watched like 4 min of game
That was enough

Watched 40 minutes of this game. That was too much. This team's play is infuriating. Constantly being beaten on d with back door cuts. Can't guard one on one. Stand around the 3 point line on offense. Catch up to only being down 1 point and then OS goes on a run. As someone mentioned, Shannon put back in the game to play D and has 4 fouls. Dumb.

I went to Drake @ Bradley. Was a fun game , great atmosphere

Oh hey we're live again!
Well that game sucked. We should know by now that doing thing we suck at the most over and over again with little success is not a formula for winning games. We want to be a three point shooting team that sucks at shooting them.
10 seed here we come.

Was the site down for you at all?
It was up for the whole game for me.
I was thinking it was my ranting during the tOSU game that shut the site down, but it was odd that nobody logged on the whole game.
Jay Wright explained bringing TSJ in. If we didn't get a stop in play, TSJ wouldn't be able to come in. I wasn't paying attention to our time out or foul situation, but it sounded good.
New announcers, same old same old. This team has the potential blah, blah, blah, blah.
Nobody wants to play us blah, blah, blah, blah.

Jay Wright: Illinois shoots a lot of 3s, but it's not the percentage that matters. If you make 10, that's 30 points.
What if you go 1-14 in the 2nd half ? Lol.
-
It’s really upsetting Brad continues to let them sling so many threes.
-
If there's a more frustrating Illini squad, I'd like to know which one.

They're definitely easy to dislike.

This theory is badly flawed. First, percentage certainly matters. Second, missed 3s generally lead to longer rebounds that give the other team an advantage in setting up an offense before the D can set up.
Third, Illinois often guns 3s without making many passes, or even considering strategy. At the end of the half at Columbus, Mayer gunned a 3 when the team should have been holding for the last shot.

This team has to take 34 3 point shots to make 10 threes and score 30 points. Whereas 34 two point shots will yield, on average, 38 points.
That is oversimplified, because two point shots also draw more fouls. Also, going inside out improves the 3 point percentage. In addition, bad missed threes create transition offense for the opponent.

Controlling tempo works if you're making 3s and is a lot easier to do getting 2s and drawing fouls.
True, missed 3s too often lead to long rebounds and run-outs for the other team. Missed 3s also mean you don't get back to set up defense.
Underwood's teams look best when the defense is solid.

I would just like to add, Jay Wright is a horrible color commentator

There's a very good chance we end up at 19-13 going into NCAA tourney

I swear to Christ at one point he said he was happy to see us still out there chucking 3s and I wanted to put my boot in his face because shooting 3s is the last thing this team needs.

Since the site was down for me, my one post-game contribution was going to be "holy hell we suck" and then I was going to go about my lovely Sunday otherwise.
-

I actually agree with a lot of what it said, although it looks silly when it repeats things in order to pretend it has people on ignore.
But the 3-point shot in its current format didn't come along until 1987, so Nichi's residual "knowledge" of all things 1957 doesn't confuse it as much when it's discussing that topic.
-

Also, I think you have me confused with about half of the rest of the board.
Temp0, for example, seems to think statistics are simply manipulatives to a point. They are like clothes on a Barbie doll to him.
Nichi is shocked to discover that overall statistics can and do change during a game.
Then you have people like Chico who think a statistic is a topping at the potato bar.

Who is Chico supposed to be?

You keep quoting them and I wind up reading their comments. (Note the pc pronouns).
They are clearly having trouble coming up with any good taunts. Are they still heckling LK about guard hard? If so, does anyone point out LK left?

Does anyone point out to you that it's no longer 1955?

Only Chico I know of is Ron Rivera.

Yeah. Weird comment by Wright.
Need to shoot at least 35% to justify the amount of 3's this team shoots.
31% as a team is pitiful. Even more pitiful is about 40% of their shots are 3's.

Also too bad that Harris may have gotten the green light to shoot 3s disease. He was 0-3 vs tOSU.
I hope he gets over it soon.
