I believe the better team is about to blow the doors off this one. Give our guys credit, they're battling.

Dakich is right, they know what we're doing on our high ball screens before we do.

We all knew this would happen. MSU completely changed their defensive energy in the 2nd half. We haven't had the same edge and haven't been able to force many TO's this half. That's the difference. & MSU hitting all their open shots.

Subbing DMW for Trent? Defense for offense sub?

Had to be a full 40 to beat this team.....we quit at 30.
They didn't quit. They're playing hard. The deeper, more talented, more physical, more experienced team is taking control.

The tank is just about empty.

I really, really wish Jordan would hit that shot that REALLY matters...he is a great Illini, would love for him to have that moment...but he never does

Totally lost our edge, but the team hasn't given up yet. Just need a few shots to fall to get some energy back.

Agree with this. Our kids are competitors. The offense (if we can get it) will key a defensive resurgence. We need to keep driving. If we manage a drive that leads to a kickout 3, we'll see the energy spike back up.
