Gotta be better with the ball and at the line to win on the road, but its a win and we are 11-3. Been a while.
We have Ayo and they don't
I know a win is a win, and teams rarely drop in the rankings when they win, but we shouldn't be a Top 5 team. There is no excuse for letting both Nebraska and Northwestern take the game down to the wire. The Big 10 is a great conference, but the gimme games shouldn't be this difficult.
I really do agree with this, as bad as it sounds I wish we had a little Wisconsin in us. Value the ball, run plays to get the ball to the big (Kofi). I love their ability but they need to stop just turning the ball over and not hitting Kofi every time down the floor.Ayo continues to solidify his legacy, but this team is so immature with a lead. Total letdown again after completely dominating the game early. Must be fixed in the next week or we will not enjoy March.

That’s what I’m sayingWhy do I feel this team might be down 1 with the ball in the NCAA final against Gonzaga, or be down 1 with the ball in the first round against Siena, or both.
There were a lot of dumb, sloppy turnovers. The kitties weren't forcing them, our guys were just making crappy passes.From 15
I disagree. If you win a championship by 1 point, you're a champion. If you win, you maintain your rank. I don't believe rankings should be decided by perception. Body of work got Illinois here even if a lot of the teams problems are worth noting.I know a win is a win, and teams rarely drop in the rankings when they win, but we shouldn't be a Top 5 team.

ThisTurnovers. Free Throws. Fix those, and we’re golden.
I would just like to put our feet on the necks of somebody when they're down. And we were at home. These last few games just scare me.I know a win is a win, and teams rarely drop in the rankings when they win, but we shouldn't be a Top 5 team.
