*** OFFICIAL GOPHERS-ILLINOIS GAME THREAD ***

all i know is i dont want this team as a 4 seed, cause they gonna lose 1st round..what am i thinkin they will get a 7 seed in the end. and lose. suck

I'd stop watching then....
 

I was wrong

Here comes the 14-2 run Tubby ALWAYS gives up with a big lead.

make that 17-4.

The Illini were ready to pack it in and we decide to stop guarding the 3. Tubby is a clown.
 

im getting fed up with this garbage. u gottag uard the mother fhking 3, and if u cant..u will not go far. practice, practice..mother fhking practice! this is ridiculous. fhk u oto u white b!tch.
 

Guard the motherflipping perimeter! It isn't rocket science! Honestly how do these guys get their degrees? They are so stupid...

Coleman should learn how to hit a jump shot that kids half his age have down better than him.
 

How on Earth do we want kick that offensive rebound back out and play for the last shot? That was an enormous mental mistake, these guys need to get their heads in the game.
 


our resume: a weak conference usa win against memphis when they were fresh, a fresh msu at home and we came b ack with 6 mins left, and a fresh win @ illinois early on this season. YOUR SUPPOSE TO FHKING IMPROVE.
 

I knew before he shot the ball it would be good. You can predict it. Gopher sports in situations like that is cursed. But it all goes back to Coleman not pulling the ball out for the last shot. Or I suppose to missing a wide open twelve footer.
 

tubby and his sub patterns middle school ball, Otos parents paid for him to play. they talked to tubby on the phone "PLAY MY SON"

There are some stupid things said on this board. Many of them by me. This is one of the stupider ones.
 



You win this game by locking down Richardson and Paul. The Illini have no inside game that EE and Mbakwe cannot shut down.

Yes, I'm sure. Thanks for the insight. How about you just turn the caps lock on and angrily pound on the keyboard? It'd be just as insightful.
 

Pay me 1.5 mill per year for me to be coach and I would do a better job.

My coaching...

1) Leave the 3-ball open and I'm yanking your sorry butt.
2) "Oto, don't even think about pulling off your warmup clothes because you won't see the court again as long as your on the team"
3) Coleman, learn how to make a 10 footer... Otherwise don't shoot it!
 

Coleman is OFF tonight and should stop shooting....if it aint a dunk, pull it back out.

Watching Oto and Mo Williams get extended minutes reminds how much we miss having Rodney...At least Rodney can get the occasional rebound or dunk.
 



this team has absolutely no discipline. that is coaching. i have never been a Tubby basher before (check my past posts if this riles you up; admitted a ref ripper, but never a tubby basher) but this is getting ridiculous

answer..........SHAKA !!!!!!
 

I don't think Tubby is responsible for Coleman missing a wide open 10 footer badly. If that goes in there is no issue. Subs on the other hand...
 

As much as I hate Bo Ryan, at least his players are on the same page as him and don't seem to fear making a mistake. Tubbys team plays scared...all the time. I have watched enough games this year to see that is the glaring difference between the this team and the other upper echelon teams in the conference. They play with such little confidence when things don't go their way..that is a direct reflection of their coach, IMO.

The athleticism is there, the coaching is not. Really too bad, but this easily could end up another NIT year.

You're ridiculous. You f-ing hate Rodney, now you are saying we are hurting because we don't have have him? Wish you were still banned.
 

oh geeze ill get a good laugh when we lose and all the hire shaka come up. I agree.

Oto keep your warmup cloths on. ur useless.
 


Undisciplined and poorly coached. Looks like maybe 4 more wins and a .500 big ten. EPIC FAIL by Tubby once again. His teams always get worse in B10 play unlike the Grinch in madtown.
 

This first half is what happens when you play Mo Walker 8 minutes in a half - when Elliott was on the court, the team was ~+12. Mo in the game, -13. Tubby, WAKE UP. There is no reason to have Walker on the court. If we have no big man, fine.

That second foul call on Eliason was terrible, by the way. For all the banging the refs have allowed under the hoop - which greater favors an outside shooting team - to call Eliason for just trying to put his arm in the way of the interior pass was ridiculous.

Also, transition defense - QUIT STUFFING THE LANE AND GUARD THE 3.
 

What the hell is wrong with people in this thread? No freaking team is perfect!!! Did you anyone honestly think Illinois wouldn't make a run? Just settle down. The game is not over!!!!
 

Hopefully Teague is conferencing Shaka in for the half-time talk.

Are you as good a recruiter too? I'm guessing you are my friend.
 

Simple solution to winning...

1) Play starters 16 minutes this half.
2) Feed Mbakwe
3) Guard Richardson and Paul on the perimeter!

This may have been typed in anger, but i find this post highly inappropriat. Show some class. You should ge BANNED for this alone.

Yeah I expected a 15+ win, were better then them
 

If we lose this game, NIT beckons...No way we could come back from this and beat IU, WISC, OSU or Purdue on road. 8-10 will leave the GOphers OUT and deservedly so. I will not watch another game with Tubby as HC.
 

I can't decide which is more entertaining, watching the game or this thread.
