The no talking is extremely concerning.
Illinois 108, Sam Houston 86 Postgame
Young guys usually defer to vets with the leadership, and the talking is usually initiated by the leaders. We are in a weird spot where the leaders arent gone, but arent really there either. Kind of in a weird limbo right now.
I'm pretty sure our defensive rating just says "searching for signal"
Expected.
Our adjusted D for this game, was 113.8, per Torvik.
Last season, 113.8 would rank somewhere between 275-280 nationally.
This. Great post.

His defense overall is not good and that's kind of generous. He gets some flashy plays with deflections but also gets lost a lot. He has higher upside on the offensive end but Jake is way better defensively right now.
Likely not auto but Jake will need some time to put Ethan on the bench. But guess what...that may not happen if Brown can improve defensively. You have to remember, Jake was a matador his first season? Then he improved. Glad to have them both, but Brown seems to have earned some time regardless.
And in classic loyola marymount style we give up a quick two on the other end.
This team reminds me of a Fran McCaffrey Iowa team with fewer backdoor cuts.
I think Tomi should be studied for his complete lack of an immune system.
our vets who are clearly the best leaders are hurt IMO. I expect more out of Stoy, Tomi, and Vaaks, hopefully we see it against Duke. Hard to get fired up playing Sam Houston
The rebounds were a little better than it seems from the totals- we got 40% of our misses while they got 29% of theirs. I'd still expect better against a shorter lower ranked team
So do we only have one BTN+ game left?
Seattle U on Dec 29, I believe
We had 6 turnovers, not 5.
Big Z finally with a 3!
