We've only had 2 games all season below 50% from 2: @ NW (48.5) and @ IU (44) - GMAW February 27, 2025, 15:10:30 You could say we were the worst shot selectors in the country and it wouldn’t account for - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 13:30:13 Counterpoint: in the last 5 years we've had teams shoot - Blazer February 27, 2025, 14:49:54 too much emphasis on weightlifting * - memyselfandillini February 27, 2025, 21:30:00 I think the chronic nature of bad shooting could be a product of system in that - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 15:20:19 Also, I think it was the Sleepers pod, but may have been one of the other random Illini pods - Blazer February 27, 2025, 15:05:08 But he’s really the only guy who does that consistently - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 16:18:39 I'm pretty sure Boswell has also taken way more off the bounce too - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:22:43 I mentioned Boswell, but taking a bounce and jumping back and away with a guy in your face - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 16:47:30 Agree to disagree, but I think he's taken a huge number of the step back/hand in your face shots too - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:53:10 Boswell's taken a bunch of bad 3s - jdl February 27, 2025, 17:34:32 That’s where I am. There are definitely a bunch of bad ones, but eye test wise they’re not like KJ’s - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 17:44:21 He just made one against Iowa - Blazer February 27, 2025, 17:38:17 It really is the eye of the beholder on this I think* - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 17:20:37 At one point early in the season those numbers were reversed - jdl February 27, 2025, 16:15:44 Step back threes are bad shots* - GMAW February 27, 2025, 15:06:33 You know what I miss?

But Coctostan says they're open and players make them all the time* - Blazer February 27, 2025, 15:07:33 No I’m not. I’m saying we maybe take more than others. And that we miss way way more of those - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 15:16:58 So we elect to take more off the bounce threes than other shots, which are harder to make? - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:11:24 For fucks sake. You’re being a willing jackass now. I’m good. No more on this from me* - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 16:18:38 Chillax man, just giving you a hard time - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:25:11 I think maybe if you're taking a LOT of shots, and some are bad, that can impact the wide open ones - IlliniRunner February 27, 2025, 15:03:41 That’s a crazy number by opp which should come down. I think we are what we are shooting it* - CWR10 February 27, 2025, 13:24:06 I think we are at this point too - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 13:34:37 Teams we should be rooting against if trying to get on the 7 line… - OB25 February 27, 2025, 12:07:45 Wow, Oweh with a sick finisher against Oklahoma.* - voiceofreason February 26, 2025, 22:28:11 Two Last Four in teams headed to OT on ESPN2 (Texas/Arkansas)* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 22:20:55 Another never ending CBB game* - bjl63 February 26, 2025, 22:46:47 Really need USC to not get shit pumped tonight* - Blazer February 26, 2025, 22:12:05 We're in my man * - jdl February 26, 2025, 22:33:19 OSU 6/6 from 3* - biclops February 26, 2025, 22:28:41 7/7* - biclops February 26, 2025, 22:28:59 We should try that some time* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 22:51:11 Dain with 25, 10 tonight.* - GCIllini99 February 26, 2025, 21:45:09 Would be hilariously awesome if Indiana follows up the Purdue win by losing this game* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 20:52:06 MSU went 4-0 against: @ Ill; Purdue; @ UM; @ Maryland* - GMAW February 26, 2025, 20:39:55 MSU definitely has that team of destiny vibe this year* - Blazer February 26, 2025, 20:11:37 Or first round exit. * - assassin February 26, 2025, 20:22:02 I actually think Michigan is the most fraudulent of the top Big Ten teams.* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 20:49:41 Why not both?* - OrangeSox February 26, 2025, 20:22:41 You would think having a kid at MSU would make me like MSU more - GMAW February 26, 2025, 19:59:33 I’m the same with Mizzou* - Drippy February 26, 2025, 20:23:41 Iowa here* - NastyBoyd February 26, 2025, 20:46:43 man, i dislike Izzo and the horseshoe in his arse* - OWWDig February 26, 2025, 19:40:56 So much* - Ron McDon February 26, 2025, 20:12:10 That was insane* - illini21 February 26, 2025, 19:36:59 OMG* - snipes824 February 26, 2025, 19:36:20 Not really sure what that Maryland guard was doing* - Mrap24 February 26, 2025, 19:37:11 Trying to win the game?
