I know a lot of you are upset with how we ended the game…but I placed a bet for Illini to win by between 1-10 points so I think they just did it for me guys 😂😂

Back when I was on active duty in the Air Force in the Strategic Air Command (holder of the weapons of mass destruction), we had a favorite song, "Nuke 'Em 'Til They Glow", by Danny and the Detonators. 😎

Maybe I'm getting nitpicky in a game they were winning by 20 points for basically the entire game but I was unimpressed.

Too many unforced errors offensively and a lack of focus in the 2nd half. Also just too many bad offensive possessions where they just chuck a 3 up instead of trying to get something moving towards the basket.

On the bright side, Morez was great and Kasparis is probably the best cross court passer I've ever seen at this level.

Collins has a team that didn't quit the last 20 minutes.

Brad should be embarrassed.

53 in a half without their best player is disgusting. Is it time to accept that we are in huge trouble if we can’t rebound a bunch of our misses? These guys simply can’t shoot.
What a horrible take. Did we finish it off like we should have, no but we got a fairly easy win. Just what we needed at this time. Especially without our best post player and passer other than KJ.

He's right, we are great fans and I'm sure they are great students, but they are not doing their job and Coach is too busy to notice arms crossed and phones out during live play.
This feels like a “old man yells at clouds” comment. I thought the Krush were fine today. Sounds like some of us on this board are jealous of the love Purdue students have been getting by the media.

I wish it was as simple as trolls. I think there are many people that aren't true sports fans and lose an appreciation for the entire picture.

Glad we showed some fight, even though that was an ugly last minute…


What happened to the Orange Krush? It’s gotten worse every year since the renovation, but I can’t believe how bad it has become. No energy, no coordination, no interest to be there. I don’t know what needs to change but it should be unacceptable for us to have one of the worst atmospheres in the BIG.
If you listen to Brad's postgame interview, he was effusive in his praise of the Krush.

I can understand not having much juice against a bad opponent on a Sunday afternoon. Plus the game was a blowout for most of the game. It’s not like the crowd was needed.

Illinois crowd participation depends on the level of opponent. Always has

That's what you take away from this. Just ridiculous! This was one of Brads better coaching jobs this year. Yes we lost some intensity in the last five minutes with Northwestern showing no signs of fight and then threw in a couple threes late to get it closer. All without our second best player.

I enjoy getting on here to see what everyone thinks about the game. There are a lot of great fans on here who have a lot of passion for our Illini family. There are some on here who just like to rip on Illini fans and how they are feeling. Even if I don’t agree with what you say, I won’t be the jack… calling you out! Treat your fellow Illini fans/family with some grace. Great win today and let’s hope we can stay locked in! We are capable for sure!

Actually it's a "middle aged man yelling at Krush standing around with their arms crossed and on their phones in the middle of the game" comment.

But, you know...if "fine" is the new norm for this generation....I guess that's all we get.

I remember a different Krush that garnered the same love as other student sections. This ain't it.
