I think we all agree that we don’t have a true PG. We are going to have more turnovers because of that but hopefully our rebounding advantage offsets that or gives us the advantage. You need to look at the total picture with the pieces we have. If everyone got what they wanted then everyone...

MD is what he is. We are asking a lot from him because we do not have a true PG (not many teams get everything they want). He is mostly doing as expected now, which is much more than original expectations. I get mad at him at times but it’s because we are asking/expecting too much from him...

Yes - but Goode was 3 for 5 on threes for the game so he was at least 3 for 4 before this. I would need to watch the replay but I didn’t think we were just dribbling the ball wasting time so I guess I can see why he shot it (he shouldn’t have in my opinion). He had been struggling but was...

Inbounding I agree but the coaches are expecting the players to perform to their abilities. Hawkins stunk tonight far worse relative to his abilities than Goode. I would expect coaching to be based on what is expected based on their expected abilities but we don’t see practices. It sure seems...

I think the loss was on Hawkins. He went back to his old self with bone-headed plays. Just to spite me after I told my wife he had actually been playing well. He wasn’t ready to play today mentally. Too much “partying” after Maryland. Very disappointing game from someone that should be an...

I guess if we have to have a mascot I’d go for Blocky. No risk to Fighting Illini name. Is there a Native American tribe that could occasionally or once a year perform symbolic halftime “shows” since we can’t have Chief or is even that not allowed?

3 second rule not so much either
