Purdue 91, Illinois 68 POSTGAME
I don't know if this is good news or bad news, but we actually don't.
We need 8-2 from here. I like the ROS schedule but good god was this ugly.
Illinois basketball is in a great place.
There are 12 more games.
that was rough

I guess it can only get better from here?
All this about making tournament. If we did (which we won't) we would be enbarrased in the first round and potentially justify yet another year of Groce. This is not what Illini basketball is all about. Groce has successfully turned our program into a bottom feeder in the Big 10

More sad than angry. A great program died such a slow, painful death that many of our own fans probably don't still hold it to its potential. We need to move on, especially with JW making the new hire. I can't see how that isn't crystal clear.
Have you watched this team play, nevvver happen

If you are DJW do you even show up at practice tomorrow? Only bright spot is letting some of the young guys play. Who would have thought MM may be our best player

Clayton Jones got playing time?
Can someone explain what offense we are running or trying to run? All I see is a big come up to give a pick which fails because he takes off too early but since there was no contact, the defenders stay on their guys. The pg barely moves, and sometimes, he will pass it around several times which typically ends up in some forced shot and miss. Our defense is simply atrocious, and I can't tell if it's due to lack of athleticism or lack of help defense or just not being aware, which is sad because I think our players are fairly talented. Are they just not as good as I think they are (or could be) or are they not being utilized how they should?

No, you seem to have our offense down pretty well.
Tracy now averaging 24 minutes, 6.3 ppg, and 1 ast in nine games against P5 competition. He's 1-19 (5%) from the 3pt line and shooting 24% overall from the field in conference play. Also shooting 50% from the free throw stripe in B1G games.
Before the season, I expected him to play poorly due to the achilles injury and time away from the court. In the non-conference season I was shocked at his performance. Now, just sad that it was a mirage. He and Tate are possibly the two worst P5 point guards in the country.
