I get what you're saying, but by moving our tournament up a week that's exactly what the Big Ten did.

It is. Especially because of how they have played so far.

I'm sure it won't last, but Rutgers hanging around with Purdue. Down 5 with 10 minutes to go. Weren't we up like 43 at that point? (I know this observation means nothing).

He was totally surprised by that pass from Kipper. Looked like he had no clue what was going on.

That was a nice catch and finish in transition by Alstork

I believe Cahall15 was making a point through a generic argument that could be applied to any Native American mascot/symbol. It's essentially the argument many of us Illini fans make when defending the chief. It gives some of us, who think the chief logo is okay but the Indians logo racist, a...

I agree about Kipper. He has B1G athleticism and a solid shot. He's a little inconsistent on the glass, but when he's tuned in he's a good rebounder as well. He has plenty to work on, just like the rest of our team, but he's still young.

Games like this will happen for teams with a young roster, new coach, no front court. We have all 3 problems. It makes it feel much worse because we haven't won yet. We played well enough to win 4 of our previous games, but just couldn't pull it out. If we came into this game at 2-4 or 3-3...

You have to wonder if he's regretting his decision to leave OSU.

I'm afraid you're right. Ayo won't fix this.

Howare they just wide open under the basket every possession?!?!

I realize we are playing better competition, but it feels like we have gotten worse.
