Jalen Pickett just might be our kryptonite. Sometimes you gotta just shrug your shoulder when a guy goes nuclear.

Halftime game plan...
I think we wore Pickett out...We got 'em right where we want 'em.
Can that be reviewed? I think they need to add a challenge flag to college basketball. /sReview that.
Oddly enough I’m not that worried. Just go at them more, get the fouls going, make some stops and let the chips fall.
They're playing against a team that can't miss right now. Illinois is playing just fine.I know I'm gonna get roasted, but this team is one of the least enjoyable teams in my illini Fandom. At least with bad teams I knew they were bad. Every time I get excited about them turning the corner the floor drops out and they look like garbage.
Our defense has been great according to most metrics. I’m sorry they’re making everything.We have elite defense remember..
Problem is they are already a really good shooting team so even a regression to the mean doesn't really leave us much room to make a comeback.
What do you mean...?In some ways, you have to appreciate the randomness (?) of college basketball, in that a team can go scoreless against us for 9 straight minutes on Saturday, and another can shoot 63% and post 53 points in 20 minutes just 3 days later. Here’s to some reversion to the mean.
Ball was trajectory upward when hit. Not a goaltend.How was that not a goal-tending, Loyalty game thread?
It's not like Pickett was an unknown. Put 2 people on him and make others beat you. This is one of those games where you hopefully weather the storm and crawl out with a win. Fingers crossed.at least our offense isn’t struggling this game is not over but we gotta stop pickett somehow
