3 turnovers and at least 2 blocks not a good start

Announcer is obnoxious. Let's not give up any more 3s please.

Frustrating. Pence dribble drives, picks up his dribble and Johnny and Malachi both run away from the ball and away from the hoop instead of cutting.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

My goodness, how many years have we been dealing with turnover issues? Different coaches, different players, it doesn't matter. Something about Illinois state and turnovers.

Who is our "guy"??

That’s the question, IDK.

It’s so weird to see us play offensively. Absolutely no one is flashing I don’t understand. Is this the offense that’s implemented or is the kids just not playing free I can’t tell

 

[TBS_20]

They just don't have efficient shooters

I saw that too.... as for Pence it is early in his career but 6 games into it is difficult to see him playing effectively this year at this level. He looks like he his constantly struggling. Too bad a redshirt is not an option.

We do almost everything poorly. Handle the ball. Pass it. The offense has absolutely no flow. On the other end, we can’t contain dribble drives. Our help is almost always late or out of position. No one rotates, so the first breakdown consistently leads to wide open looks. These aren’t complicated things. We’re a bad basketball team.

Harouna Sissoko should never see the floor. He shouldn’t see it even more now after that three point attempt.

I was telling someone the same thing. If he is going to get minutes this is going to be a painful season.

UIC has some shooters. We do not.

I keep searching for the plan on offense and there just isn’t one. One on one ball everywhere. They are doubling down low everytime the ball goes inside leaving wide open shots yet the ball barely ever touches the post and the guards take turns trying to drive from top of key

We have no offense.

 

[ILLST25]

Trying not to get too far over my skis here but I’m starting to think we may suck again. Best hope being .500 in conference

I know the ongoing sentiment during the Muller years were that we only had athletes and not basketball players. Seeing how we stack up right now against a team in our league, we are very slow. The problems we’re encountering on the defensive end are almost all related to just how we can’t move quickly.

It looks like a Tuesday morning at the Y.

4 seconds on the shot clock, let's swing it to Foster at the top of the key for a 3? Bball IQ!

Building the culture.

Burford is 5/6 from the field. He gives up the ball 3 times at the end of the shot clock?
