Maryland 76, Illinois 67 Postgame
Bad loss yes. But let’s not get carried away here.
Coleman got pulled for 7 minutes after he got his second foul. What more do you want??
QG can dunk. Layups.... Horrible.
I don’t have a stat sheet but it seemed Domask had a lot of decent shots that fell off the rim. Not sure why. Fatigue? Getting bodied by the defense? Anticipating getting bodied? Hard to tell on tv. If he had had 2 or 3 of those fall in instead of fall off the rim this might have played out differently IMO.
Might have to change the Tipton gif to Maryland.
We clearly are a piss poor team. Purdue, the best big ten team since the start of last year would never lay an egg like we just did...oh wait...Can’t wait for all the overreactions

How long has it been since we've had a quad 3 loss?
I wonder if the lack of judge’s ruling took the wind out of their sails.
Perhaps they were at the very least expecting a decision and this looming over their heads has sucked the energy off from this team.
Everyone seemed off and this seems like the only logical explanation besides the fact that Maryland just played with desperation and we had zero energy

Not really surprised by this. Maryland has had our number and have looked better lately.
These types of games are going to happen in conference without Shannon. Probably more of a 4-6 seed without Shannon vs a 1-2. Still a good team and capable of doing some damage but don't have the same ceiling and ability to make up for miscues. Really miss his on-ball defense.
What's the Tim Anderson beef with Julian Reese? Do love Harmon immediately coming and calling Reese a !!!!! though.

Because too many 'shots' were more like throws, Pru. Anything in transition was running and launching and clanging off the rim.
Add to that the terrible threes (after the opening 5 minutes) and 6 for 16 on layups (pre-garbage time) and the shooting was off the charts bad.
What we do without Shannon is on film. We need to adjust.
At the risk of being unfashionably objective, Dain is a solid low post player with great feet, but if you watch any defensive set that he’s involved in, he’s just lost.

I don’t think many of those lost a game at home against a sub 70 Kenpom team.Can’t wait for all the overreactions

I’m not saying the team is doomed but this was a bad loss, plain and simple. One you couldn’t have. Especially if you want to sniff a B1G title. Place us firmly in 3-4th in that conversation.
This is true but how many of those were on the road? I’d wager ours was the worst but maybe I’m wrong.Can’t wait for all the overreactions

To me that's on the captains of the team. Party all you want but not before early afternoon Sunday game. Especially after we did this last year.
Why not? Domask tried to all day, only to get caught in the air and throw the ball to Maryland.
I hate that I have to root for Maryland the rest of the season now.

I know this is minor but why, why WHY did our stinker have to be against Maryland. They are inside Brads head. We suck against Maryland.

Yeah I'm betting not many of those were Q3 losses.
Hard to make critical adjustments when you have a really short bench and you have multiple players really struggling. He could have played Dain more, but that's really about it. I'm not sure how successful DGL would have been as Harmon was getting cooked out there on defense and DGL hasn't shown much on that end this season.
