Awful shot by Boswell. Made a great play for the board... just a killer.
In the transfer portal after this game.Where's DGL?
I mean it's not even bait at this point. You either shoot threes or don't. That's a coaching decision. Brad could simply say, anyone who shoots a 3 gets benched and we shoot only 2s from now on. That is an option. But if we are going to allow players to shoot threes, over 10 of the threes we've taken today are the highest quality three you can get- wide open in rhythm. So that's it. It really isn't bait in my opinion. You either have the green light to shoot threes or you don't.At a certain point, you gotta stop falling for the bait. They're open for a reason and it's not because Duke, the 4th best defensive team in the country, can't guard us on the perimeter.
We still have to win 2 games to even get there. I'd give us a 50 percent chance of making the tourney.This game has UCONN vibes excluding the 30-0 run. If this is a sneak peak into the Illini being put in an 8-9 seeded game, no thanks. They will get their butts spanked against Auburn, Duke, Bama, Houston, and any other potential one seed.
When you have players incapable of MAKING open threes, you should stop shooting as many of them. This isn’t space brain logic.dear god if i hear one more post complaining about us shooting open 3s
What dirt does Ben have on Brad?
Beat Iowa and you can rest easy. This bubble this year is just awful. Our SOS and Q1 wins have us in, but winning a game versus a 8, 9 or 10 seed is a completely different story.We still have to win 2 games to even get there. I'd give us a 50 percent chance of making the tourney.
