Lostin76 Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Need to jump all over them from the outset and never let up. They have to be pissed after that NW game. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Borderline must win between the NW loss and the two road games following this. We play well at home and we spanked them on the road already, so no reason to think we can't win, but I do think Illinois is also going to be playing with their hair on fire. I wonder what type of video we will release before the game since it's such a big rivalry? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 We'll see if Underwood is as hard headed as he appears. If he singles Trayce again TJD could have 35. I'll take any win but a good boat racing ala 2002 wouldn't be bad either. We just need a feel good game....Bates, TG, MK hitting 3's....get those smiles flowing again after that bad taste vs Northwestern. If I'm an Illinois fan I don't like facing us at home coming off a pissed off loss. I'm thinking 84-67 has a nice ring to it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win within a win for this game would be not having them play over 32 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted February 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Couple of notes from our game in Champaign... We had 4 starters in double figures (TJD, Galloway, Geronimo, and JHS...Kopp was the lone exception) We only got 5 points (all by Malik Reneau) off the bench Race, of course, didn't play We shot 61% from the floor We turned it over 14 times...Mainly having trouble breaking their press (Gotta wonder if Underwood is going to start pressing earlier) They shot 23 free throws (not sure how many 1-1s ) but only made 9 (39%) We only shot 13 Freebies hitting 9 as well 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at halftime of your game in the suburbs I was thinking, "man IU is going to be mad! Not good!" But then the second half comeback I was thinking, "man IU is going to be sad! Maybe good?" But in the end that stuff really doesn't matter. It's a home game for IU and a big crowd that will be noisy. I'm interested in how Brad defends TJD as well. Most likely will start with the same strategy of not doubling/trapping. Biggest change for Illinois from the first game is probably Ty Rodgers, he's been playing more minutes and gained a bunch of confidence. They even ran some plays for him vs PSU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Illini buddies said if Underwood isn't using some sort of trap or after entry pass to TJD trap they are going to have serious issues with staff. With that said I think Illinois had their most success vs us in 1st matchup using a press. Not sure if they have enough bodies to do it all the time but that might be an option. Been noticing Rodgers for sure. We'll see what happens. Not a good time to be facing us for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you guys get the knuckleheads that write these articles? "Jackson-Davis is doing most of his work inside the three-point arc." Most? 😂 "I would say Illinois should throw Dain Dainja at him, but Dainja had three fouls in the last game and couldn’t stop Jackson-Davis." Uhhhh... "Without Mayer on offense, Illinois gets constipated" 😯 "Mayer is 6-foot-9, so having him in there to be able to match up against Jackson-Davis is going to be important." 😂😂😂😂 "But Epps is also a good three-point shooter." "As of late, Epps’ three-point shooting has been off. He is just 1-of- 20 from distance in his last four contests" Stop... Just 🛑 I didn't read the next article by this twit...

When I was in high school, I rode to school with a friend who had a Pinto. Every time it rained, he had to pull the spark plugs and dry off the condensation before it would start. Another friend had a Gremlin. One time we went over a railroad track and the rear window popped out of the hatch and shattered on the street. They were fine 70s American cars. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents had a really sweet red Pinto back in the day. Interestingly enough, I listened to a “You’re Wrong About” podcast that corrected the historical version of the Pinto being more explosion prone than other cars of the time. My first car a green Gremlin that we called the “weed machine.” Gee, I wonder why… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted February 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 This was my mid-70s mistake... 1977 Chevy Monza Spyder...Bought it brand new... Had a 305 V-8... Had the alternator belt go at 4,000 miles...dealership wouldn't put a new one on... When I put a new one on myself, I broke the alternator bracket tightening it up...

My hope is that the Underwood double teams TJD and our shooters get the opportunity to go off. I would love to have 20+ 3 point attempts hitting close to 40%. TJD doesn't really need more confidence. We need Bates, Kopp and Galloway to have confidence from 3 heading into the road games in at BarfZone and Purdue.

Coach gave a pretty good answer the other night where he said double teams are great if we read and react properly. I'm with you though I wouldn't mind one of those pumping the 3's in game if they double TJD all game. Shoot Trayce could have 15 assists if he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
