You’re right.
I love his offensive game. Just thought that ten seconds was exemplary of why he hasn’t seen more minutes.

When your opponent makes nearly 90% from the FT line, it's tough to win. When they hit nearly 90% on threes you're pretty much dead.
This is horrible coaching right now. We stick to our game plan and help defense off the shooters. Doesn't matter how many they make. Horrible recognition by the players as well.
So they're hitting 100, right?

Did BU tell them that Defense was optional today? Every shot is wide open
Cementing our position as one of the worst defensive teams in the country
Are the Hawkeyes going to put up 100 points today?
Completely agree. Yes, it’s a blowout, but highly concerning that we continue to help off of shooters when it has been disastrous for over thirty minutes.
While I understand the sentiment, sometimes you've just gotta tip your hat. When you have as many deficiencies as we do, our true talent being as young as it is, you have to give up something. We have obviously decided we were going to make them beat us from the outside by helping off their shooters so Garza and Cook wouldn't beat us down low. To their credit, they've made shots. If "adjust" and stop helping off, Garza/Cook have a field day like the last oop.

Garza has the second most punchable face in the big ten, next to pitino
It is truly remarkable how a little bit of a run can be completely stymied by whistles. Our team continues to fight and then the whistles, or in Georgi's case underneath, lack there of, slam the breaks on a bunch of young kids battling their hearts out on the road, unlike the Minnesota bunch did in a similar situation.

Can't wait until teams have to tip their caps to us again on a regular basis.
I was a freshman in '04-'05. I often think about the few generations of Illinois students who likely never became fans of Illinois Basketball, or the recruits who haven't grown up with good Illini basketball. But it just dawned me the other fan bases that see Illinois on the schedule and look at it the same I'd see Penn State or Northwestern when I was in school. So sad.
Giorgi didn’t even argue (and he is known to). AJ foul was a touch foul, but his third and fourth were really dumb and obvious.
This officiating has been completely par for the course NCAA standard.

Enough with refs...lets start with defense.
I disagree, these guys live for shots where they can get their feet set catch and shoot. I rather take my shot with Garza and Cook
At times our passing looks much better,than it did in Maui, at times.
