Free throws still an issue. Ugh.
Game Thread: Illinois vs Sam Houston
I mean, we will win this by 20+ but we don’t look like a top 5, or even a top 10, team. Sloppy play, too frenetic, bricking a ton of 3’s, still missing FT’s.
And Big Z…looks like a deer in the headlights frosh.

Let's go, turn up! We need more of that type of energy!
Smart opposing coach! First time crowd gets loud immediately calls a timeout. Wish we knew how to do that!
Great vision by Ethan Brown to see AS coming down the pike
Defense and free throws nigh be an issue this year. Needs to be corrected come march to take this team seriously

"I can't tell you. Secret."
And some of us probably half by drunk-time.
So, who shoots a technical foul shot for us? No one on this team comes close to being good...even Jake. Mirk might be the best, but neither is available. Likely, Tomi would be the guy, or AS, but neither is clutch like Kylan. We need to recruit a 5 star who shoots 95% and call him the ninth man.
Now this is a nice run. Loving what I’m seeing out of Brown and Coleman
No way McDowell should've made that
Is part of our offensive scheme “organized falling down”? Lol
Without Mirk and Jake at 100%, this team is around 15-20.
It must be the tough atmosphere again.
It’s been rough out there for JJ tonight.

It's too quiet.
Especially for a buy game.
For sure...and was just wandering what the attendance might turn out to be for this titanic matchup with this historic hoops program.
And no one can ever get up by themselves. They lay there waiting for teammates to pull them up.

It's always that. The hall is in no way intimidating in the way some other places are at this point. Given the physical structure that was chosen, not sure what we do, but it is also the students and our other fans. Something's got to change.
Literally feels like they're playing in a church.
Rough out there for Z too
