Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[mydosburns]

Refs bailing us out?

Loyalty threads --

After UCLA game: we are final 4 good

Mizzou halftime: team has no heart, team stinks, coaching stinks, team is soft, etc.

Two really bad games for sure, and we should be unranked, but the talent is there. There needs to be a hard reset over the holidays and come back with intensity. Lots of season left.

Nice offense Brad. Every game. 15-0 run 16-0 run. Embarrassing

That’s not just an offensive problem if teams are routinely scoring 15 or 16 unanswered points on you.…two sides to that coin.

And, nobody is moving on offense again to start the second half. What is the offense, Underwood? If the players don't want to execute your offense then sit them. Maybe there isn't an offense? Everyone just stands around and waits to shoot a 3.

Like I said Underwood may be the problem.

No movement, not going for loose balls..just lazy

 

[drsmitty74]

Illini's youth being exposed in the 1st half of this game.

I think it's much more than that.

 

[SKane]

I expect that ILL will make at least one run.

Too much talent to not at least do that.

 

[madillini4]

Clark lost on defense and not much better on offense

 

[illinipimp]

I’m almost 70 with spinal arthritis. I can shoot 3’s better than 1/17. Just sayin.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Great rebound Hawk but why dribble it and allow a steal? As much hoops as he has played he should just put it up without dribbling!

 

[ThetaDragons]

If y’all can’t see the timid I don’t know what to say

 

[ChiefGritty]

@Dan, suggest you do away with game threads next year (or even this year). Ample evidence that intelligent life does not exist here on Loyalty . . . . just sayin' . . .

I'm perfectly capable of being an idiot in the normal threads, sir

 

[john1952]

The Illini are just standing around on offense, third time this half.

 

[skyIdub]

This is groce.

 

[AT6]

Feels like Bruce Weber 2012.

Worst game of the year I've seen from Coleman in particular.
He's -got- to look to score
And he can be an absolute beast on the offensive glass when he wants to.

Brad just doesn’t care anymore. Did you see his reaction to that flagrant foul call?

 

[SescIllini]

Charmin wants to do an NIL deal

 

[ChiefGritty]

Brad just doesn’t care anymore. Did you see his reaction to that flagrant foul call?

Yeah he's quitting on this team, not the other way around.

But like...lotta games coming up!

 

[Baskins Tiger]

Nahh wtf

 

[blife]

Seems like we have a bunch of guys who are not bought in to Brad’s system and way of coaching, and are not playing for each other. This season could get very ugly if a leader doesn’t emerge.

The only guy who could possibly be a leader on this team is Goode. The rest of the potential leaders just don't appear to have the personalities or mentality or desire to take the reins on this team.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

An impressive start to the season, but this thing is fundamentally broken right now. Hopefully, this is what the bottom looks like because I can't imagine the on-the-court performance getting much worse. If they're going to pull themselves out of this (not this game, it's already done, but this season), it's going to take every single person in that locker room actually giving a f*ck about each other. Right now, neither the players nor the coaches seem to. I have hope, but, honestly, not much.

 

[skyIdub]

Triple double may have been the worst thing that happened to CoHawk. He's trying to conduct instead of just playing now.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Brad just doesn’t care anymore. Did you see his reaction to that flagrant foul call?

I mean, nobody else on the court seems to care so why should he?
