Yes, I expect energy from tipoff from the Krush up until the end. That's what made Assembly Hall into The House of Paign when we very rarely lost at home. There's a reason we're losinh home game this year and a lackluster crowd is one of those reasons. It's been this way all season, man. And by the way, if fans can't get up and ready for a 2pm game on a Sunday, when will they ever get ready for one? A random Wednesday night?

Not thrilled with the lack of intensity the last several minutes. Team needs some motivation to finish teams off.
Absolutely! Why shouldn't we? If you're not going to bring it, why take a seat from someone that would have?
Edit: It also a team that best us early in the year. The goal should have been to win by no less than 20.

And if not, I strongly encourage them to do so.

Kylan has had a nice game, playing under control and passing up some of the questionable threes, making layups and free throws.
Outstanding inbounds pass!
Somebody bottle up that inbounds play!
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to be happy with the outcome of this game, but our defense has been poo this half (especially compared to the first half)
They’ve improved a great deal on that. Credit where credit is due.
The lack of Crush intensity has been a problem for some time.
Yep. I was I college at Illinois during the Flyin’ Illini years. I was in the band and at every home game from 86-90. While the game has changed some since then, those guys were SO athletic and tough!
0 defensive intensity the last 3 minutes.
This is where Brad hasn't grown 1 inch as a coach in his time here.

WHAT THE HECK???
This team, man. Loved the play for 30 minutes. But games are 40 minutes. Take nothing for granted for Christ's sake. Come on! Absolutely ridiculous given what's been going on the last couple weeks.
