This is a mess

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

3-5 over our last 8. For all the early promise, it's become an incredibly frustrating season.

[Bigtex]

Talk of going on a run. Guess that is a losing streak

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me FIVE TIMES? No way. I know what to expect from this team now and don't feel as bad tonight. If anyone needs it spelled out we are n-o-t-g-o-o-d.

 

[derrick6]

Doesn’t hurt as much. Numb

 

[IlliniTilDeath]

Ugly

 

[blackdog]

This is a talented team that has had bad luck with availability and is overall YOUNG. Riding those young ups and downs

Also I refuse to believe that KJ is healthy because he has not been the same player. He was driving left a lot and that's been nonexistent since he came back.

 

[BlueLeader]

I don't want Top 25 guys with no cohesion that leave. I want Top 100 guys who stay 3 to 4 years and play smart ball.

This has just gotten real ugly, real quick.

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

It sure looks like this team is cooked. It seems like a lot of talent has been squandered. That really stinks.

 

[illiniguy24]

Bad luck. Bad health. Bad shooting. Not enough effort/IQ to overcome it at this level of ball

[NASchamp]

This is so f$@&ing embarrassing.

We’re out of excuses. Terrible execution. Coaches obviously can’t figure this team out or just don’t care.

 

[CT-55]

Wow! It’s like riding the Titanic.

 

[Keisersose]

I really thought we only needed to play one good half to beat Rutgers. Maybe we had it if Tomi hadn’t gotten iniured

Again. This was bad roster construction. Inexcusable to have no depth inside.

Way too many questionable coaching decisions this year.

 

[DeeIL89]

3-5 over our last 8. For all the early promise, it's become an incredibly frustrating season.

All coming during this "easy" stretch of the schedule. Wasted opportunites.

 

[azillini1]

Just an embarrassing loss. Can we use NIL money to get an offensive and defensive assistant coach? Maybe assistant coaches in these areas that have a proven track record.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

We are ok, got to play for March!

KJ, is in a mental junk

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

When are yall gonna realize that this team isn’t worth watching?

Keep making excuses if that helps you. Reality will eventually set in.
