Jeez some of the takes right now. We are neither as good as the first two games or as bad as this half. Not surprised when we are minus two experienced starters and playing this many freshmen
Game Thread: Illinois at Texas Tech
Tech had 2 team fouls with 2:30 remaining. Not really possible given the amount of contact. But I agree with you and said as much- if this is how the game is called we need to adjust and be more physical.
Wtf is this?

First they need to hold onto the ball instead of dribbling it off their own feet.

Every fear i had coming to roost here. We've survived on rebounding overall subpar shooting and converting putbacks relying on superior athleticism to beat mid majors and we are without a primary ball handler. Can't play defense, and getting outhustled and careless with the ball.
Good wakeup call.

Not going to overreact. Such a different team from the last big game. Its going to take time to gel. #3 ranking a little too high for how many new faces that are going to play important roles as the year goes on. Plus the injuries. Perfect storm tonight.
Not having a true point guard is hurting us
Pathetic
No answer for that Cruz Davis high screen.
There's not gonna be one tonight

Can someone box out the players in white? For crying out loud
Tech defense >>>> illini offense
Going to be a major wakeup call.
Team will need to look in the mirror in a big way.

SOFT, SOFT, SOFT as Charmin.. that is the game in the first half.
This falls on the coaching staff too- absolutely did not have them prepared for this game. Nobody showed up.

Eh, this is a good grow up game. Bunch of freshmen vs a bunch of seniors. This is how you learn. That said, very weird that all our upperclassmen have flat out struggled tonight. Andrej and Stefan have been just disasters out there thus far. Tomi has been fine on offense but he has been a traffic cone on defense. And Z is just getting pushed around
Can’t even blame the refs when playing this low IQ. I think they have been reading the paper clippings
They havent missed a free throw..i think we’ve missed 5.

It was hard to tell, but it looked like Coleman got jet legged, that would more or less explain this.
