Have been questioning the talent of this team even when we were fully healthy, now just questioning the heart.
:huh:

I think it's a composure issue, IMO...we were clearly rattled.Have been questioning the talent of this team even when we were fully healthy, now just questioning the heart.
We are nebraska bad
Thankfully Izzo will empty the bench in the 2nd half. MSU played 13 guys the first half. I don't think we even have 10 guys on our roster tonight with all the injuries and KN's absence.
I honestly think this is a different game with Nunn. He's the glue that holds this team together.
And I'm the tsar of Russia.
Sorry, this one's got me into my second Bushmills before half.
Pass me what you are drinking pls!I'm predicting Illini will have a huge 2nd half and win. They won't miss a shot and izzo will lose his mind. Illini will then win 15 straight conference games and make the tourney. Watch and see!!!!

If MSU had 4 starters out and we had 1 out, it'd be a much different story. This is obviously a bad game by UI, and we're heading to a no-postseason postseason, but if both teams were at full strength this would have been a very competitive game. It is what it is.

I'm not trying to be an antagonist, but he wouldn't make that much of a difference. Nunn out/Valentine out, it's a wash. Face it, this is going to be a very long season.

Nah.
The tOSU game showed me that the team has heart. We just don't have any depth, and there's that noted lack of talent as well. Tonight we're seeing a title contender team play like a title contender. And our starting lineup consists of one baller, a redshirt freshman, a true freshman, a backup point guard... and Maverick Morgan. All are playing at a very loud and amped-up Breslin Center.
We are rattled, out-talented, out-manned, and being swallowed by the environment.
