One of the more pathetic losses I can remember in some time

Just flat out disgusting

Look at 3 pointers attempted and rebounding margin in the first 10 minutes vs the last 30. That's literally all you need to know about this game.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

This team is completely rudderless. Like watching AAU ball. What a waste.

 

[illiniguy24]

Hope I’m wrong, but this feels like a season killer given the current combo of player and coaching performance. Next week may be rough

 

[Illiniguy2442]

Sure could of used a wing defender who started every game on an elite 8 team

Derek Piper isn't going to be safe after this one

 

[hoopsfan47]

Playing hard for that NIT bid.

 

[Kostas]

Sad...

 

[JJE]

This teams gonna get bounced in the first round.

Brad has some things to answer for

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

This one just hurts. To see every single shot, layup, free throw... just keep on popping out. No field goals the final 8 minutes....

 

[Illini2010-11]

Recurring theme of the 2025 portion of season: Taking and missing a bunch of 3's. Got MSU in foul trouble early in 2nd half, but instead of attacking the rim, take a bunch of low percentage 3s. Either players aren't listening, or coaches are stubborn. Very winnable game that the Illini shot themselves out of.

Also, I despise whiny Izzo.

 

[foby]

I don't get it.

Something 2022-2023 is going on with this team.

So very disappointing.

[DB11Headband]

The continual opponent career highs is not a coincidence.

It is representative of a HEAVILY flawed scheme, inability to adjust, and lack of feel for the game from the staff.

This is a big problem.

Where’s Tre White?

 

[BretMyBeachHouse]

This teams gonna get bounced in the first round.

Which tournament?

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

We let Izzo set the record on our court. There's no excuse for this. This sucks.

 

[GTL Adam]

This game was lost in the first half when we started to give up a 16 point lead and Brad refused to call a timeout. We can blame assistants all we want for poor offense or defense but this is another inexcusable performance for a top 10 paid coach.

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Can't figure out who is more hard-headed: The players when we're in Bonus with 13 min left to go, who continue to rebuild all the brick houses in So-Cal. Or the coaches, who do anything but coach.

 

[ILLfated]

What a horrible game for TJ to get honored at including an upside down jersey. Wtf is this team/program.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Just a disaster, not sure how such a promising start to the season turned into this.
