(EMPIRE Games @Barclays) Temple, Mon., Nov. 21, 9:30p, ESPNU

[Johnny Rapper]

Wusu continues to lead the team in shots blocked.

 

[gregbodkin]

Can’t hit layups. Hot damn

Can't hit anything!!!!

 

[Queens_Ball]

Is there a way our guys can scrimmage for 10-15 mins right before tip-off? These starts are killing me and eventually (hopefully not tonight) there’s going to be a game where they don’t snap out of it.

 

[Larry Wright]

Awful call

 

[NCJohnnie]

We don't look good at all in half court offense. Wusu has no confidence at all drives to the hoop.

 

[MCNPA]

Whoa how’s that a charge?

 

[sjc88]

The gang that can’t shoot straight has made another early appearance. Let’s hope the last game repeats. They started slowly then picked it up. This is ridiculously bad.

 

[MugCostanza]

Curbelo having one of those nights that landed him on the end of the Illinois bench the second half of last season

 

[RedStormNC]

Maybe they turn it around but this poor play has the makings of a route

 

[Johnny Rapper]

Battle clearly the best guard on the court so far.

worse than the nebraska 1st half?

 

[Knight]

Belo needs to sit for a while.

Closing in on Singleton and Glover all time
Would help if actually jumped

 

[Demo]

We’re going backwards

 

[montyaloofah]

The shooting is brutal. Need to drive and kick and find a shooter. We drive right into trouble.

 

[vegasman2000]

Said it million times Wusu driving is a terrible shot

I am sick and tired of watching him at this point. He even got blocked by the backboard.

Curbelo having one of those nights that landed him on the end of the Illinois bench the second half of last season

Actually he’s playing as he has so far but now the competition is better. He’s gotten away with stuff to date.

 

[Jack Williams]

We don’t really know who we are on offense yet.

Temple looks like they at least know what they want on offense.

It’s been a clear difference so far

A well-earned lack of confidence

This is our MO every game every year.
