whitesoxfan99 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 It is really too bad Starks and Cosby somehow forgot to shoot this year. With the way Rice, Nunn and Hill have shot from 3 this team would be great from downtown if those guys were shooting like they had their entire careers.

Brian Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Michigan is better at scoring for the other team. How did they beat illinois? Awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogua Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 3, 2015 -> 03:12 PM) Setting up for a classic "miss 10 jumpshots in a row and go scoreless for 8 minutes as they take the lead and win" game. Yup. Setting up the same as all of the Illini losses this year. Keep it close for 30 minutes and then just lose composure in the last 10 minutes and lose. Very little leadership on this team.

Jenksismyhero Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Can they really change a call like that? I assumed they were checking for the elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were checking for an elbow. They can't overturn a foul call. I wish they could call technicals for flops though. And I also love that the refs just called a travel on Starks when the ball was clearly tipped out of his hand and then ignored Russell's obvious travel on the other end.

It's sick that Tate has to be out there because a senior Starks isn't any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Just consistently awful on defense. No communication at all. Tate and Starks are both f***ing awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Well, Illini will miss the tourney again. Groce is in a position where just making the tourney next season might not save his job. Groce isn't getting the Xs and Os perfect, but this team just doesn't have enough good players on it. You have no decent true guard - both point guards are terrible and Cosby is worse. Nunn is okay but has reduced his offensive game to spot-up jump shooting. Egwu is still marginal, LeRon Black isn't mentally ready for this pace of play, and Maverick Morgan is awful. Hill looks like he's going to be great but he doesn't know how to assert himself in the offense. He's probably suffering from the PG play as well.

Jake Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Also, Egwu may be the worst pick and roll defender I've ever seen. He doesn't understand how to do it whatsoever. He's just going to defend the guard no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Groce's horrid decision to offer Tate a scholarship and not recruit Ulis hard is one of the all time hauntings. Up there with Weber telling Hummel he wasn't a Big 10 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, and he gives himself the problem of not being able to bench the guy because there's no depth. You might want to get through to him by benching him, but Maverick's going to kill you just as much by being a non-athlete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
