Guys, tonight is the biggest full moon of 2017.

 

[winorlosewestillbooze]

I feel like that’s the first three I’ve seen Alstork make lol

 

[chief78]

cowan is a punk

 

[skyIdub]

Come all the way back or die trying.:frustrated:

 

[Future Walk-On]

Alstork didn’t foul but it “looked like a foul”

 

[CoalCity]

They're shooting 3's like they're in warmups

 

[IlliniMed]

lol. Didnt know putting the defense in an arm bar was a defensive foul

 

[skyIdub]

Black holds the ball while Lucas flashes all alone under the basket.

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Phantom foul calls on Alstork and Trent

This ain't what any of us wanted to see but I suggest many on this fine forum step back from the ledge. Every single player on this roster is expected to conrtribute much more than ever before at this level. Hell we are playing 4 freshman. I can't remember the last time that happenened. We are gonna take our lumps some times and tonight looks like one of them. MD is a better team and they badly need a win tonight. Right one it looks like they're gonna get it. Calm down and trust the coach. Trust the process. #WeWillWin.

Going to be along season if can't be competitive at home. Underwood has a lot of coaching to do just not a lot of players who look like Big 10 caliber starters right now. Freshman have promise but they are playing like freshman especially Smith of late and upper classman for the most part just aren't good enough

Cowan is getting away w murder, but it doesn’t matter when everyone for Md can’t miss

This isn't football. It doesn't take THAT long to turn things around in basketball.

They can't miss because none of their shots are being challenged.

 

[FC Illiniman]

Maryland took Purdue to the end of game Friday, they're not a bad team,top 4B1G

 

[Welchelracing21c]

Seriously Cowen just went over and back with the ball and no call

 

[blmillini]

We need more length

 

[Love the Illini]

top four or not we should be competitive at home and so far we have not been

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

KN gets clocked in the face and gets called for a foul.

You're right but it will take longer than 8 games with the roster BU inherited.

Kipper bricking the layup literally just changed the entire game
