Welcome to the postgame thread

 

[Illini in Italy]

A promising season . . . is now dead.

Out-rebounded by 12 and you let the other team shoot 53%. And, we shoot 6 of 27 from 3. What happened to our defense?

Can't lose this game. Uggg. But knowing this team they win the next 2 because they embrace chaos

ELITE.

 

[Eternal Optimist]

I mean, couldn’t we at least hit a last second three to cut the loss to 9? Oh well. Onto the next.

I'm sorry but as a player, if this doesn't piss you off, you simply don't belong in a program that markets "Everyday Guys." We're getting embarassed by a team that hasn't won in over 50 days. On national television. A gameplan contengient on jacking up 25 footers and consistently making them is not a good gameplan. Especially against a team without a big man. This team has a LOT to figure out.

Team just can’t put it together for 40 minutes. Frustrating. Very very frustrating.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Worst loss of the year

 

[808Illini]

Oh where have you gone Dain?

Ah, that sucked. We can still make some noise but honestly I won’t miss us not showing up every other game and I’m kind of ready to move on.

Hope that dude chose to go to church instead of watching this garbage.

 

[IlliniMilkMan]

Just a poor offensive showing. Going inside did nothing, couldn't score from the outside and missed some around the rim. All scorers had poor days. That happens.

 

[fatboyslim]

The only good thing about this game is there is still a pathway to 12-8 but it's not what we thought it would be.

 

[hooraybeer]

today looked eerily similar to skyy clark's last game.. lackluster all around, guys in general didn't seem engaged today. i have no idea what to expect from this team in the upcoming weeks

Everybody says we’re inconsistent I disagree. We are very consistent in coming out in the first half with no fire and not ready to play. And we are very consistent Coming out of the locker room after halftime for the first 10 minutes ready to play.

Made one FG after RJ's and-1 that cut it to 8 with 3:30 left.

 

[Coop70]

Team just can’t put it together for 40 minutes. Frustrating. Very very frustrating.

I'd settle for 25 or 30.

I don’t really understand our offense. I notice teams we play get open looks and easy layups but we don’t. And I know our defense is better. I’d like to attend a practice to see what we actually work to do.
