One more depressing thought...end of the first half. That's why you hold for last shot.
Indiana game rings a bell.Ball screen with a guard how about a double out of that action? I mean you can’t get beat by the same play run 100 times in a row can you? I guess you can
Let's start a go fund me for you NOT to watch lol.
The adjustment was to put Shannon on him. He does not pressure the ball and plays too far back. You have to get the ball out of Perkins hands. That’s on the coaches. TSJ guards like that all the time….just like the end of the first half.I guess I have a different take- I thought the Illini played extremely well, maybe their most complete game against a quality opponent. However, I agree that one play destroyed them: drop coverage on the pick and roll. Just like against Indiana no adjustment was made against the one thing causing all the problems.

To those who think the refs are the reason that Illini lost the game...
Good teams don't make dumb mistakes. Good teams play with a higher basketball IQ than this team showed at times during this game.
Clearly the refs missed the foul on Hawkins, but I think that's one that the refs swallow the whistle on 8 times out of 10 near the end of the game. It just so happens that in this case the foul is what caused his hand to knock the ball out of bounds. It's kind of silly when you can clearly see 2 things occuring on a replay, but have to ignore one of them and overrule a call based on the other.If you dont think that the refs missed crucial calls down the stretch that hurt us then I guess we watched two different games.
Ty Rodgers mom was right about a lot of our fans.
Whatever she said, she has to realize that’s every fan base now. That’s the problem with the internet.I probably have a good idea but what did she say?
That’s because we are very middle of the Big ten this year. Could possibly make too 4 but we aren’t great.0-5 against the top half of the Big 10 so far is unsettling…
He played hard and did make contributions on the defensive side, but it is really hard to overlook some of the bad. I think the problem is that his role on the offensive side of the ball is much larger than it has any right to be.The amount of hate Coleman Hawkins gets on this board is ridiculous. He obviously didn't shoot well today, but he did a ton of other things. 9 rebounds, 3 blocks, an assist, interior defense.
