Let's see. They scored 80. He had 35 of them. I'd say his 35 did very much beat us tonight.
Sorry to hear that, @pruman91 ... Just went through that with my FIL and have a small inkling of how hard that decision is. to your family from mine. Hang in there.rough day for the illini and also for my dad.......I congratulate tjd for a great game tonight and we got thumped tonight.....
as far as my dad , I got a phone call tonight and the nurse at the nursing home brought up giving thought to moving dad into hospice care.....i posted on chat about it but wanted all my friends to know what's happening with dad ....keep my family in your thoughts and prayers.....
Yeah, he said it’s been 6 games inside of 18 days…and Indiana had 5 days rest.Coach Underwood just made a few comments on the raido: 19 straight days with not 1 off day and Mayer sick. Well Coach that's your job not to run them 19 straight days and the training staffs job to treat their bodies. Watching film and walk through and treatment are very important.
This is it. Nothing we threw up went in, even home cooking foul shots bricked. TJD played out of his mind tonite and every bad bunny they put up went in.
Thoughts to you and your family, Pru. Games like tonight are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.rough day for the illini and also for my dad.......I congratulate tjd for a great game tonight and we got thumped tonight.....

And THIS is why BU says TJD's 35 points didn't beat us. Who cares if he scores 35 and we win....and we win IF we don't miss the layups that are usually makes, and don't shoot HORRIBLE on FTs.Random observations:
Seems like every time the fans give the team an electric atmosphere, the team doesn't return the favor... in both sports.
Missed 13 lay ups. Make half our missed layups and half our missed free throws and we win.
I had a bad feeling early on this wouldn't end well for us. Any time we play a team that plays intense ball pressure denial defense, we get sped up and struggle to assert our will. This is a trend that's been going on for a few years.
I was in the stands yelling for us to help down on tjd but at the end of the day, it was their other 45 points that hurt us.
My conference championships are officially dead. Now, I just want to see us make the tournament and get hot and win 2 or 3 in a row.
Let's rest up and bounce back Tuesday.
I-L-I

Yeah, there's no way their guards would have shot the same or better than TJD did tonight. It's baffling why we didn't double him, especially after halftime when we saw our initial plan didn't work.Had we doubled TJD, and forced him to pass out more, I doubt they would have shot with like the 70 percent true shooting percentage they had tonight.
Keep in mind the number of minutes that freshmen are getting on this team. They are not remotely at the level of fitness of guys like TJD are after four years in a high level S&C program. That's just biology kicking in. We will be fine.Yeah, he said it’s been 6 games inside of 18 days…and Indiana had 5 days rest.
I mean that sucks…but so what? This does not bode well for the mental toughness we need for the rest of this slog/in March.
Yeah the talk was absurd and embarrassing to read.Had a feeling this wasn’t going to go well when the board talked for two days about just how badly we want to embarrass Indiana
Exactly. I was surprised we shot that well from 3.This is it. Nothing we threw up went in, even home cooking foul shots bricked. TJD played out of his mind tonite and every bad bunny they put up went in.
Pru, I rarely post, but dish a lot of likes. In this case, your pap is definitely in my prayers and im.sire many others here. Prayers, when shipped and believed in matter.rough day for the illini and also for my dad.......I congratulate tjd for a great game tonight and we got thumped tonight.....

And we were on our home floor. Playing in front of your fans means a few points a game.Yeah, he said it’s been 6 games inside of 18 days…and Indiana had 5 days rest.

Our fans never got a real chance to impact the game. IU kept them quiet, and we didn't do enough to get them involved. Might as well have been a neutral court game.And we were on our home floor. Playing in front of your fans means a few points a game.
