Anyone else hearing this rumor that Frazier, KN and Tevian benched for this game due to “disobeying coach”? Cannot verify but hate to see that...

Please god take Tyler underwood out. Are griffin and jones just not options?

Feels to me like we are the better team if we could play the right lineup

-no more giorgi 3s -no more TU -play griffin sometimes Is Kane injured or something?

This is exactly right. Does anyone know why he is given minutes? Is there a stated reason beyond nepotism?

11 oreb, but agree that is more us doing something badly

Turnover and a foul with 3 min left in the half... not his finest hour

Rebounding is tough to watch. Kane is real bright spot of the half.

Why does Underwood’s kid see any minutes with 10m left in the first half? We have so many experienced starved young players... boggles the mind.

Are you sure you've been watching illinois basketball?

Hope others are right about MS. It seems to me that he doesn't have the athleticism of a Bates-Diop or the spark/talent of BP. Also, re being forced to change his game: if he were a terrific point guard, he'd be playing point guard. I don't think that's the root of the problem.

Out of curiosity, how optimistic are you guys on Mark Smith's ability to ever really blossom? Compared to the past Mr. Basketballs, he's been shockingly bad. Personally, I'm not sure I see him ever becoming good/great. He's big, but seems slow and unathletic when driving. And his shot, at least...

Up until now, the problem with the team seemed to be our big men (or lack thereof)—getting out rebounded/giving up easy inside baskets. Tonight, we dominated rebounding and Ebo and Leron seemed to handle Nebraska's bigs fine. Guards just didn't deliver. On another note, I'm glad that Finke is...

Why has the starting line up been so slow to change even though we consistently come out behind by 10+ points in the first few minutes? In my mind, there is absolutely zero case for Frazier not starting. Would like to see Williams too. Also, Finke has been more frustrating to watch than ever...

Update from insider on another board, this is the short list (in order): Bennett Marshall B Drew A Miller I'd be thrilled with any.
