He’s been horrible … This isn’t anything new …

He is unplayable … He’s soft … He can’t play …

He’s never in the right spot … He never makes winning plays … There’s a reason he’s in the portal every year …

Give me Ben over him …
And Tre is averaging 14 pts and shooting 41 percent from three for Kansas this season. Certainly been an interesting comparison between the two this season.

Guys - I think we need to calm down on the coaching criticism. 3 grown !!! men in Mara, Morez, and Yaxel bullied us out of this game. Plain and simple athletic basketball.

I called out the Illini do not pass the looktest of a championship caliber team. And someone made a snarky cognitive bias comment. Well well well...

This team doesn’t make a long run in the tourney unless they fix the D. I don’t care how good your offense is. We go cold from three and can’t buy a stop.
There is no fixing the D. It was always going to limit how far this team goes and there's plenty of evidence at this point that it's mediocre at best.

Wagler hits a three to cut the lead to 53-48. Momentum was on our side.

Dusty May calls a TO. Michigan puts us to bed with a 24-11 run since that TO.

We just look off tonight, we aren't passing it around and looking for open shots. It's been more one on one and people playing hero ball and taking bad shots.

UCLA is better than their record reflects … They’ve got just as much talent as us …

And we weren’t mentally ready … Again …
Why do we seem to start a downhill descent around this time every year??

Worst part about this game is:
1. We had to wait 6 days for it to arrive
2. We led by 5 early and were playing well to start.
3. Michigan has proven they can win it all...we have not.
4. Morez has played terrific.
5. Though we have a height advantage and stress rebounding, we are getting outrebounded

Multiple choice questions...pick one...you cannot fail.

I’m all for bringing in some high caliber Euros…but Brad, for the love of Chief Illiniwek, bring us an f’n Chicago-style junk yard dog. Any doubts on who won the Morez-Mirk trade are put to bed after tonight…and I love Mirk.
I think I’m done with the Euro experiment.

Michigan is too good for this Illini team. Too much athleticism. Too much size/phyicality for an Illini team that is used to dominating with their own size
Sorry, as great as our offense has been at scoring, there sets and execution are far superior to ours. It doesn’t help that we don’t have a power post on the team.

Need to pin this post. Best of the game and #1 takeaway.
