Euroclydon Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 7'0 290. IU does not have anyone to match up with that. If you try to play their power game against it you lose. Since TJD never learned that jumpshot he talked about during the offseasons and Race has lost his today, not many choices on offense. Parker and Kopp with another MIA. Can't trust Bates to get a good high % shot. No Rob. Lander against a vet like Frazier is a loss. Maybe a miracle happens here at the end but UI has more firepower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that...it’s how he’s playing on the offensive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn’t happen. It’s also a rough matchup for us. TJD isn’t big enough to guard Cockburn and it’s causing our guards to double leaving wide open shooters. We are good enough to beat Illinois but we need to be more efficient on offense and give up less wide open 3s on defense in order to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev_AK Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 I desperately want to make the tournament and I think that is the main goal for this team. It is there to take, but we need to hold serve at home. IL is a bad match up, especially with 27th-year senior Trent Frazier. I feel that Durr and TJD should have played together in this game. Take out Kopp, and move RT to the 3. But what do I know? On to the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzIam4IU Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 3 minutes ago, IU Scott said: We were still up 46-42 with a good look from Stewart for a 7 point lead. It is not like we came out flat like the UM game but UI is just more talented. Frazier is the key to UI and he just came out on the second half and took the game over. I never said we played terrible in the first half...I said we didn't look sharp. IU didn't shoot very well, made some bad offensive decisions. We also came out very uninspired in second half...which is unacceptable at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 If Illinois continues to shoot like this they will win the B1G. Can’t guard Kofi 1-1 and let these guys kill you from 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euroclydon Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 So much for being ranked. What it means is IU has to win at home against Wis nd find a legit win in the road. Knight would have forced Kofi to come home out and guard someone because IU had shooters everywhere. Think back to beating Shaq/LSU in tourney.

My wife made basically made me quit watching after I said something along the lines of pimps and hoes. Not my finest moment. Heading over yo thay prediction thread. How about 3-6? Is Illinois really that good? Seriously? I've watched a lot of college basketball in my life. No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, me, all of us, and hopefully CMW sees and understands this. TJD would go crazy against any 4 in the B10 and that’s his role in the league. Yet, we get him in foul trouble, again, against a real 5. Dumbfounded SMFH!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94hoosier Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Not the end of the world. Still have at least 5 very winnable games. Really need rob back. TJD needed to face up and drive Kofi more. Backing down just not going to work The turn and throw elbow from kofi has to be a foul. Just ridiculous. Give credit to the Illini. Frazier and Plummer can’t shoot on the move and need no space 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
