*** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

I mean what are you going to do? They are making shots to keep us at bay

Don't double and leave their shooters open. There's plenty Iowa State can do to not allow that

Poor time to leave guys WIDE OPEN for 3.

It is such a love hate thing with the aggressive doubles.

 

[xboxfever]

They needed to take the lead with Shannon on the bench. Didn’t do it and now it might be too late. Dug themselves too big a hole. It was an amazing season.

 

[clonebb]

That 3 was a dagger.

You just don’t get to play the way we have in this caliber of game and expect to win.

I mean Illinois hasn’t played that great either but I guess someone has to win. Usually when you shoot that poorly from the free throw line you lose. Of course not this game it appears.

 

[Malone]

The insistence on double teaming is about as maddening as it gets.

 

[trevn]

I’m always fascinated by the tv production decisions. Illinois makes a shot- zoom in on their band or fans in the stands. ISU makes a shot, keep the wide view. Just weird.

More like double with some conviction. Rob was so lazy on the double, ******* liability

 

[HFCS]

STOP DOUBLE TEAMING! IT IS LOSING YOU THE GAME

Agree, it's right back to beginning of the game. The can basically only beat our D if we double team to leave a guy open.

 

[SportsMan9000]

If we double team one more time I am gonna lose it

 

[snowcraig2.0]

It's over. Good effort

 

[cyfanbr]

Shannon didn’t hit the last shot, but I was about to lose my **** on Curtis. Shannon was on the 3-pt line and Curtis instead of being on him was all the way near the free throw line.

No matter what the outcome, I am Super impressed with how we played in the 2nd half. We played scared in the 1st. We came out and attacked and played our game in the 2nd half. It isn't going to be easy in the sweet 16. Gotta keep scoring, and scramble for def stops.

 

[Goclones1727]

That Gilbert missed layup will be in my nightmares tonight

 

[Halincandenza]

Also, why bring Rob back in. This game is not for him.

 

[jctisu]

They are still making the shots and that was not in rhythm as he double clutched

 

[SwirlyBird]

**** chipotle chicken al pastor

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

We had our chances...

If could of gotten it tied on that gilbert layup.

 

[DurangoCy]

One more run, I believe.

Retroactively take care of the ball in that stretch with the chance to get up by a few buckets.

This has been frustrating.
