AJ deserved a better on-court sendoff.
Godspeed, AJ. We freaking love you.

We stinks.
Bring on an improved Giorgi, Samba, and Kofi and January. We need some interior size.
Oh well, 14 years of no tournament. (Cub fans are gonna love this. . .) wait till next year 
You got a couple of chances to make this right, so go make it right. Hopefully the last couple of weeks can serve as a lesson and these kids can come back next year ready to play every single time out. They’ve been really short on intensity for a good bit now.
Sums up this game well. Nicely put, my original response involved more "f" words.

Just because it can happen doesn't mean it will

The O/D, IMHO, will not allow us to be good next year.
Three years from now, when two mor egood recruiting classes have somewhat figured out how to execute these O/D schemes, we may be good.
Trent definitely doesn't look like himself. If you think back to Wisconsin he left for a bit and then he took a hard hit against NU. He just can't stay in front of anyone.
Call me when these fellas learn to play half court defense.

Agree with sentiments here. I am still feeling good about next year, in that I feel our current players will get stronger and we will get some more size. There is simply no way some combo of Kane/Kofi/January is not much better than ADLR. I feel very comfortable with AG providing next year at least what AJ has provided. Trent and Ayo have to bring consistent aggression and play well together. Also have to imagine that Tev steps up and provides more than we've had from Kipper.

Plus, the rest of the B1G basement teams are also loading up and getting better. Top 5 is a dream at this point.

Agree with this, too. Not so much worried about guard play tonight specifically (especially if Trent is injured), but I am concerned with the rarity of seeing strong games on the same night from at least 2 out Trent/Ayo/Feliz. I really like all three of these guys, but it seems there could be some kind of compatibility problem in styles or decision-making between them.

Blown out on our home court is not a good look. Our defense has taken a big step backwards. Why I don’t know. Either we lost some intensity or teams are figuring us out. Maybe combination of both. Guys will need to make some major improvements in the off season for us to be top half of the b10.

I agree. A far cry from how Dee, Deron and Luther played together. One on one talent without much play making is the issue. Indiana's team play was
outstanding tonight.
So are you worried about are guard's?
