Live Game Thread: Indiana vs Illinois

[bailey777]

This is why its hard to get very excited about this team. Cannot ever sustain any momentum. 11 wins does seem about right

 

[birdforbogey]

Trayce is anything but an NBA player

Tamar is not bad either.

Here come the March of the Karen’s.

Beirik said you would have that.

 

[rocketo]

It would’ve been 5 if anyone else was in. Kopp is not an issue stop making him one.

Wait? Didn’t realize he gets a pass. **** off

Still time left. But IL has been playing great.

 

[capovito]

our lack of money three point shooters is now showing. Had lots of open looks but not able to hit them while IL guards seem so comfortable even with contested shots. Unfortunately we are still missing some pieces to be a tough team. TJD seems to disappear against skilled big men. Looks out of sorts and forcing his shot. LImited offensive moves

 

[bailey777]

This game is over. A week to prepare and lay an egg

 

[HoosierAlum07]

Leaving 3pt shooters wide open will be our downfall

IU is getting bitch slapped

Lol. Emotional little bi$&. Your take was dumb. 😘

Kofi abusing Trayce.

Trayce fouls jump shooters and never finds a rhythm.

 

[bsmitty08]

Lack of shooting kills this team

 

[demunn]

Unfortunately TJD will go developmental to the NBA. Another year would really help him. Today is an example where he's going to get owned in the NBA.

 

[aajohn2000]

We are simply overmatched. Illinois the better, more physical team. No answer to Cockburn. IU fell asleep 2H.

 

[bailey777]

Just killed at the three point line again.

 

[Tscurlo]

Fisch: "And Indiana looks like a team that might be done for the day"

Yep.... have to agree with you Fisch.

Here come the March of the Karen’s.

And the Nancy’s ….. Illini should have the confidence to close out the win

No leadership from Trayce in big games doesn’t help. He’s literally no where to be found, but loves to flex vs East Carolina

 

[HoosierJimbo89]

Lack of shooting kills this team

That is the difference.

 

[VanPastorMan]

Illinois just appears to be.better.

 

[rocketo]

Lol. Emotional little bi$&. Your take was dumb. 😘

Lol. Touché. This game is pissing me off. But your take is dumb AF. Kopp has been pretty meh on D. And it is FACT that he lost his guy multiple times for wide open shots. So, that still stands. Bi$&! 😘

 

[ThreeToMakeTwo]

Omy! Thissa ugly.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

And the Nancy’s ….. Illini should have the confidence to close out the win

I mean they are deeper and better. It’s not like we didn’t have a chance. They are number one in the B1G for a reason. Could’ve used Rob today.

 

[bailey777]

The next four games are brutal. Could easily be looking at an 8-8 record after that. If this can cannot start making threes we may not make the tourney.

Yes … a role RP played … Bates and Stewart didn’t get that done Today.

 

[Hatchets7times]

A game like this is expected..Even at home.
When your just a little above average.
There is little wiggle room for anyone not having a good day..
We're close to a bubble team ..I've thought that since early December..
We'll also may rise up and get an unexpected win on the road..
Illinois is a very solid team..

 

[rocketo]

Illinois just appears to be.better.

They are WAY better. Kofi eats our guys alive and their guards are far superior.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

Still dumb. Go splash water on your face and count to ten.

 

[rocketo]

Kills us that our best 3 pt shooters are so much worse at defense and dribble drive. We need some long balls to go down.

 

[Tscurlo]

BAM BAM thank you maam all game.... and they blow the whistle on a touchy feely way out front

 

[rocketo]

Is that why Kopp has been in? Wait? Where is he? Bench…

I think some got a little delusional after beating two bad teams in a row. Week to prepare didn't mean squat this team is far better than us. You are correct we still are a bubble team.

Not sure lost would adequately describe it. He’s just Slow AF. He is a defensive liability and even worse when stewart is on the floor with him.

 

[Tscurlo]

Radio just nailed it: They surround Cburn with a bunch of 3 point shooters and you have a team with success.

 

[HoosierJimbo89]

Is that why Kopp has been in? Wait? Where is he? Bench…

Once again, Kopp and Stewart don't show up.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

I mean yeah. So what. What has his replacement done? By your measure they all should be on the bench. Good grief Karen. His replacement just got it in his face twice.

 

[birdforbogey]

Illinois just appears to be.better.

Captain freaking obvious. Go suck dakich

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

Thus enduth any further discussions of our team sniffing the top 25 this season.
Give IL credit. They buried us with 3 pt shooting while totally shutting down our good 3 pt looks.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

Once again, Kopp and Stewart don't show up.

Kopp and Stewert aren’t the issue. Their replacements didn’t show up either.
