Glynn Watson and Ed morrow are looking pretty good to me right now. (I know hindsight is 20/20)

37 three pointers attempted by the Illini and made 11 of them.
Just can't lose this game at home but just did.
Game plan was to shoot three's and get back on D. Neither helped us much.
Would have liked to see a change to penetration when it was obvious our shooters were off. Anything.

We got destroyed on the boards and their guards took ours to school..... definitely a team we should have beaten.
Well, you gotta win your home games against the beatable teams. They've already lost 2 winnable home games(Mich, Nebraska). Terrible....
Groce seems to think they practice well but clearly don't execute the game plan consistently. Who does that fall on?
Defense disappointed me about this game the most.

Well, so much for the good feels after the Purdue game. Ah, well. This season is a wash. As soon as Thorne was out in the Iowa St. game, that was the overriding feeling. Sucks to actually go through a wash season, but looking larger picture, it's a wash. Onto Indiana.

Especially when there isn't a Big 10 level point guard that we can put on the floor right now.

Inexcusable loss. Had a chance to turn the season around, come out and do nothing but chuck threes the entire first half, play with no heart, and play more atrocious defense. Comes down to one main word: coaching. Miles took Groce out back and whipped him today.
Guys can't really control getting hurt, but G-D Darius Paul sure as heck could control what he did. How different would this team look with someone who could body up and rebound. Need one of black or Thorne back in the absolute worse way.

That's what I watched.
This isn't Rocket Surgery.
This team needs help down low offensively:defensively even more than it needs a PG.
2-Fold
Defensively......injuries to Thorne and Black killed this team's ability to rebound. Morgan can't and Finke not ready.
Offensively, we are playing 4 on 5.......teams don't even guard our PGs. Put a good PG on this team and we would be good offensively.
I never have to see Tate or Lewis on the court. Go ahead and play Hill at PG........need 5 threats on the floor.

Well then Groce has a different problem on his hands.
