Fuck Houston. Fuck Samscum. Fuck Eric Gordon.

Come on you boys from Illinois. Let's reverse 2022 vs. the Cougars and head to a Big Ten game for the Final Four.

Are you going to bark all day, little doggie? Or are you going to bite?

Illini Basketball vs. Houston Pre-Game and Game Thread (Thursday, 9:05pm on TBS) - JFG Yesterday, 8:44:37

I still can’t get over the game plan and execution of last night - snipes824 Today, 15:01:01
- I think both are true - Blazer Today, 15:19:51
  - I think that’s mostly right. All I know is I saw a wagon last night - snipes824 Today, 16:35:17
- I underestimated how great of a match up this was for us - jdl Today, 15:08:01
  - Kind of insane that a team would intentionally build their offense around the midrange game. - OB25 Today, 15:58:58
    - they count on being able to OREB the misses - assassin Today, 16:25:20
    - A lot of stuff out there that it was just a cold shooting for Houston - Blazer Today, 16:08:32
      - It was a cold shooting night for Houston AND we had a lot to do with that. - DocWalk20 Today, 16:12:18
        
        oooo - Blazer Today, 16:23:26
        
        Are you Cam Crocker?* - DocWalk20 Today, 16:27:19
  - Felt great about it once I learned they blitz ball screens. Cashed nicely. * - uofi1998 Today, 15:31:48
  - Our size really bothered them too. I am still blown away by how great our defense looked. - Warrin'_Illini Today, 15:16:45
    - Watching us continually pass out of the ball double teams was borderline erotic too* - meanjeans Today, 15:19:18
Did we double the pick and roll much in any game this year? I'm having trouble remembering if we did - Orangeillini Today, 13:55:36
- I feel like this is not being talked about enough - deadpoolOG10 Today, 14:12:43
  - We’re also weaponizing Kylan who has started to jump out on the hedge very aggressively at times.* - voiceofreason Today, 14:42:29
    - Yep. That started against Penn, I think, using Kylan as a rover - Blazer Today, 14:52:33
      - It is borderline violent. I love it. There was a down court TV angle last night when Houston - voiceofreason Today, 15:26:09
        
        Love that he's just a defensive specialist now. Not looking for his shot - Blazer Today, 15:31:39
  - Considering they double every ball screen, you’d think they’d be prepared * - uofi1998 Today, 14:15:39
  - Our defensive gameplan and execution was incredible.* - Warrin'_Illini Today, 14:13:42
    - Especially since we hadn’t done it much all year — so I’m guessing Houston wasn’t really prepared - DocWalk20 Today, 15:15:39
- I don't recall much actual doubling - jdl Today, 14:04:36
  - I assume he's talking about the hedging* - gvibes Today, 14:08:00
    - yes that's more accurate. basically not the drop coverage that we ran all year.* - Orangeillini Today, 15:12:51
      - Did we run a single possession of drop last night? - Blazer Today, 15:30:52
    - Of course * - jdl Today, 14:14:37
ooo - jdl Today, 13:09:00
- LMFCO* - Jackie Today, 13:26:18
I have watched and then rewatched on a loop about 50+ times, the Mirk postgame interview. - illinilosch Today, 13:04:17
- Heard today he broke Kofi's freshman rebound record. Wow. * - Tuscy Today, 13:41:07
  - Pretty great but Kofi did get robbed of 2 to 9 (?) games. Thanks a lot pangolins.* - Chuck Woodaby Today, 14:11:56
- SVG was swooning late game * - jdl Today, 13:09:50
Lunch the next day and I'm still having a great time. :-) - osklister Today, 12:41:03
- Friday beers today are going to rock.* - Warrin'_Illini Today, 12:46:51
Is it time to fuck up Iowa yet * - MC Today, 12:27:12

Beat Iowa, beat MSU, beat scUM - TarheelIllini Today, 11:34:41
- There is only Iowa* - Ron McDon Today, 14:02:35
- Beat Iowa, they are playing really well -- then we can worry about what is next* - Quiz Today, 12:14:42
  - This. BEAT IOWA. - osklister Today, 12:41:41
If St Johns knocks off Duke tonight it’s going to be impossible not to start thinking ahead * - meanjeans Today, 11:12:13
- looks like Foster is going to play tonight for Duke - assassin Today, 12:31:14
- After what I just saw last night, bring on whoever* - snipes824 Today, 12:26:58
  - agreed* - illini21 Today, 12:39:00
- St John’s can definitely beat Duke but not sure they can win it all - bjl63 Today, 12:05:20
- There's a tradition in tournament play to not talk about the next step - illini Today, 11:26:50
- They did not look impressive in person last Saturday - RVA Today, 11:23:47
- Yeah I started going through scenarios after the win last night. Glad Arizona and Michigan - Warrin'_Illini Today, 11:23:47
- Now that it feels more serious, we sadly need to root for Purdue if we win tomorrow. - OB25 Today, 11:14:13
  - Agreed but Purdue did beat Michigan in BTT - jdl Today, 11:40:33
  - Indeed. Boiler up * - meanjeans Today, 11:19:45

- This made me look up what class we signed at that 10 year mark - OB25 Today, 12:36:29
- This is a deep cut * - John Coctostan Today, 12:25:50
On the FT thing, how do we solve it? - illini Today, 10:21:01
- Let Tomi and Andrej shoot them. It’s a Wagler / Boswell / Mirkovic issue. They’re 20/38 (53%) - meanjeans Today, 10:39:25
  - I was having Nick Anderson thoughts after Bos missed 3 in a row. Thankfully the 4th dropped.* - Warrin'_Illini Today, 10:45:21
  - Watching the guys, feels like it's in their head a bit. Definitely was for Kylan at the end. * - illini Today, 10:40:38
- Solution: Make FTs* - UofIL6 Today, 10:38:38
- Regression to the mean...* - uofi1998 Today, 10:32:49
- Just hope it gets better* - GMAW Today, 10:21:50
We need to discuss Boswell he simply was not good yesterday. If he didn't get into foul trouble... - gullit Today, 10:02:18
- We were worse with him on the court yesterday. Just a fact. He can clog up the O* - cpsteine Today, 13:12:49
- meh. he's an option in the quiver. sometimes he has good games, sometimes he doesn't - John Coctostan Today, 10:59:32
  - This I also agree with* - Carl Spackler Today, 11:02:16
- I agree with you. He is really disruptive to what we try and do in the half court. - Carl Spackler Today, 10:55:13
- It’s mostly just missing shots. He does so many other things though* - Herman Blume Today, 10:46:54
- I really liked his dribble save when Houston could have had a free fast break* - Potomac Today, 10:35:42
  - That was a massive play. Huge swing potential there* - UofIL6 Today, 10:42:11
    - No doubt. When that one went our way, I had a “turnover fairy is on our side today” kind of vibe* - DocWalk20 Today, 11:21:42
- I thought he was ok with the ball, missed some shots and went 6/10 from the line instead of 8/10 - apusikam Today, 10:35:42
  - Agreed* - DocWalk20 Today, 11:20:50
- I’ve gotta be honest, I don’t think we need to discuss that at all. The free throws were annoying… - OB25 Today, 10:23:12
  - My only complaint was using him for a take foul at the end of the first half... - uofi1998 Today, 10:33:54
    - The way that went for us and for KU vs St Johns - jdl Today, 11:42:21
      - I think is has to be planned out and walked through. - mrkoolaid Today, 11:54:09
    - As someone who never played and is not a hoops strategist - bjl63 Today, 11:05:15
      - first one was at least to get preferred defense (Z) on the floor - RVA Today, 11:11:11
        
        The Drej foul wasn't even intentional. Just a bad call, anticipation from refs* - Blazer Today, 15:36:26
      - trying to disrupt their offense - Sammich Today, 11:09:08
    - This. The last 10 secs of the first half were terrible* - UofIL6 Today, 10:41:37
- It kinda feels like when he gets in foul trouble, he tries to overcompensate when he gets back in. - JFG Today, 10:08:06
  - I think the problem was that he is one of our better players inbounding and vs the press - CanHartlebHireSnider Today, 10:10:28
The orange unis really pop. Our best look imo.* - Warrin'_Illini Today, 9:54:41
- Hundo P* - illini21 Today, 10:03:05

    - Like the 2005 Final Four* - uofi1998 Today, 10:10:52

  - I was pretty bitter we lost the stl 2 seed since I had tickets - GhostofPokeyStixPast Today, 10:45:13
Someone offered the FT discrepancy bait to Sampson postgame. He didn’t take it, in fact explained it - Carl Spackler Today, 8:53:14
- In their 6 losses prior to us their opponents shot 159 FT compared to 88 for Houston. They know - meanjeans Today, 11:19:04
- Yeah I saw that too. He said when you take 3s and a bunch of 17-19 footers, you don’t get fouled. - voiceofreason Today, 9:12:07
- Could’ve been 40-2 and it wouldn’t have been biased. * - uofi1998 Today, 8:58:48
  - It is impossible to overstate how much Tugler fouls.* - Carl Spackler Today, 9:05:17
    - The two hand shove on the screen followed by the look of shock was hilarious* - CWR10 Today, 11:27:43

  - I’d like to make another FT this decade but generally agree. * - illini Yesterday, 21:59:44
The live ball turnovers are the difference. I think we’re better than this team and Houston knows it - opossum jenkins Yesterday, 21:58:17

can we redeem any of our offensive efficiency rating credits next half?* - OrangeSox Yesterday, 21:58:03
Does every team’s fans feel like they always give up a 3 to end the half? Because that’s what I feel - Herman Blume Yesterday, 21:57:30
- well, to be fair, we let UCLA get 3 free throws* - apusikam Yesterday, 21:58:26
What a stupid strategy, lets put an extra foul on everyone's ledger - RVA Yesterday, 21:57:22

  - Well said* - Blazer Yesterday, 22:00:58

    - yeah I didn't like the fouling either - apusikam Yesterday, 21:59:35
    - Agreed * - EffinIllini Yesterday, 21:57:05
That was pure hot garbage* - cpsteine Yesterday, 21:53:40
feel like they were on the ropes for a bit and then missed some opportunities to pile on* - lcubed Yesterday, 21:53:26
- “Missed some opportunities” is gentle. Brad needs to destroy trash cans * - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:53:48

LOL at a bunch of fouls and then no one knows whose guarding Flemings* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 21:53:24

      - After the bos foul??* - John Coctostan Yesterday, 21:59:36
      - Had plenty of stoppages in the last ten seconds, pick any* - RVA Yesterday, 21:59:09
        
        After the first foul, you’re just… fouling? I dunno, doesn’t seem like rocket science.* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 22:01:13

- yeah he's not soft* - apusikam Yesterday, 21:51:23
  - That attempted finish was the definition of soft.* - voiceofreason Yesterday, 21:54:09
    - He hung in the air and tried to draw the foul and absorbed the contact - Blazer Yesterday, 21:56:18
  - He’s the guy in the PG-13 movie you’re REALLY hoping is gonna make it happen * - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:52:11

  - 8 man rotation * - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:47:05
    - They really go 10 deep* - Blazer Yesterday, 21:57:40
Box score check: +8 rebounds, +2 FTA, -4 turnovers. +6. On track but shaky - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:43:37

We’re better than this team* - opossum jenkins Yesterday, 21:42:49

Dammit, David. That is the ONE thing you cannot do* - DocWalk20 Yesterday, 21:42:11
we are getting solid looks - memyselfandillini Yesterday, 21:42:06
- They’ve had some good looks from decent shooters too, we’ve been fortunate - Blazer Yesterday, 21:43:24
- Their 3 looks have been better than their % IMO. Their 2 pt jumper game is what it is* - gvibes Yesterday, 21:43:00
  - Agree, but the shooters that are shooting them taking 13 is a big win for us* - John Coctostan Yesterday, 21:43:34

I hate everything about Houston's style of play * - opey8 Yesterday, 21:39:20

- I’m going to go ahead and remind him he can’t turn it over again though* - DocWalk20 Yesterday, 21:40:28
Good Dre* - cpsteine Yesterday, 21:38:50
Ugly offensive game against an excellent defense, but effort is at all time high right now* - gvibes Yesterday, 21:38:39
I’ve seen enough. Houston is a medium talent. If we don’t beat ourselves we win by 10* - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:38:24
- They would finish 6-7th in the B1G* - Stu Yesterday, 21:39:52

  - He’s a good looking, fashionable man. But we gotta get him an orange pin or something* - John Coctostan Yesterday, 21:40:02
Brad would be smart to keep Drej in the game for a while* - GrandmotherPearlsJam Yesterday, 21:37:58
The more we get the ball in Dre’s hands the better our chances of winning * - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:37:38
Please make some shots. It’s right here. * - illini Yesterday, 21:37:19
I have my complaints but fouls 6-2 is a win for us * - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:36:43
- Considering we’ve committed one and they actually committed 10+ though* - DocWalk20 Yesterday, 21:37:43
  - It beats 6-6* - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:40:03
- we should be in the double bonus by now* - illinibone Yesterday, 21:37:10
  - Beats 6-6* - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:38:00

And Sampson bitching about one shove finally getting called* - DocWalk20 Yesterday, 21:35:09
Omg Wagler play smart * - cpsteine Yesterday, 21:35:06
If your name isn’t wagler, dribble less. Move out of the traps, open shots* - John Coctostan Yesterday, 21:34:45
- Wagler has done zero * - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:35:09
  - Hasn’t hit shots but he’s making all the right reads and drawing fouls* - Blazer Yesterday, 21:39:14
    - and i bet if you look at replays, his misses could've been fouls. - Nobster Yesterday, 21:41:36
brad needs to get on the refs. this is asinine* - illinibone Yesterday, 21:34:04
fuck these refs Jake squashed on the offensive glass and nothing followed by a soft - memyselfandillini Yesterday, 21:31:53
fuck these refs Jake squashed on the offensive glass and nothing followed by a soft - memyselfandillini Yesterday, 21:31:50
Playing like shit so far. Sorry. Thank God their offense blows. Cenac chucking shots left & right. - Kajagoogoo Yesterday, 21:31:37

    - For sure, but let’s remember this is one of the best defenses in the country* - Blazer Yesterday, 21:37:07
      - Their help and recover in particular is so good. So fast* - John Coctostan Yesterday, 21:38:52

I knew mirk and tomi dribbling was going to bad. stick to the game plan guys* - snipes824 Yesterday, 21:31:16
I’ll take all the Cenac jumpers ya got* - Blazer Yesterday, 21:31:12
This home crowd thing is a total nothingburger, by the way.* - OB25 Yesterday, 21:31:12
We can’t win when Tomi can’t hit the broad side of a barn. His 3s aren’t even close.* - voiceofreason Yesterday, 21:31:11
This is on a platter. Let’s get hot please* - John Coctostan Yesterday, 21:30:57

Every possession feels like a 7 hour battle. Nothing easy * - MC Yesterday, 21:24:14
Defense is strong. Too much dribbling on offense—need quicker passes and off ball cuts - Blazer Yesterday, 21:24:03
- That was a key point in LaTulip’s pregame - quick passes, don’t over dribble* - Potomac Yesterday, 21:26:24

We are getting way better shots than them. Hope we start making them. * - illini Yesterday, 21:24:02
That is an absolutely psychopathic foul call in context * - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:23:23

  - For the moment I’m going to just assume they wanted to get the under 12:00 on time * - meanjeans Yesterday, 21:25:25
