Game 20: Illinois at Michigan Open Thread

The only thing I feel like I’ve learned from that half is that this team without Mike Smith and without Hunter Dickinson is not nearly as good as they are with them.

So much for being down 5. Wings missing in action.

Always my worry against this team. Quickness is not our strength.

Terrible last two mins of that half.

how bout 11?

Brutal offense. Way too much standing around and watching one guy try to do something.

22 per half not gonna hang a banner

this game reminds me of a game against marquette several years back where the quickness just overwhelemed us

Well, if you told me that Illinois would have 33 in the fist half, I’d have taken it, no questions asked.

Wow. Didn’t expect us to get run out of the gym.

They look like they’ve hit a wall. I know we’re quicker than this - we look like we don’t have our legs. Weird.

That was not fun. Gotta make some major changes at half and find some energy

Man Juwan’s rotations are still awful sometimes. Going with TWill and Davis over Franz and Hunter because they have 2 fouls, and also not playing Mike all half, just makes no sense

Did they bottle up our ball screen offense because Smith was on the bench for 9 minutes?

That was ugly. It felt like Illinois punched Michigan in the face and then were laughing about it.
