You don't get a lot of free throws when you dribble around in circles until the shot clock expires. Or then shoot a 30 foot contested shot with 1 second left on the shot clock. When we have these leads, we keep going into "Prevent Defense" when we're on offense and it never works.

I would argue ALL OF THE ABOVE. The O-Line did an acceptable job with pass protection but the Minnesota defense came ready to stop the run and our guys couldn't open holes. They killed us at the line of scrimmage. Peters made some terrible throws. I mean,... on occasion he misses his...

How Georgi and Kofi get used depends on which side of the court we're on. On defense - I think Georgi gets the more mobile big guy and Kofi gets the banger. In any case - it'll be great to not have a guy outmatched by 6 inches trying to play interior defense. On offense,... I believe that...

You gotta remember that a lot of the TJL comparisons started in the Jaylon Tate days,... and by that standard we were very appreciative of TJL's performance. It's amazing to think that about 3 years ago we were pulling our hair out for the long term lack of point guards,... now we're swimming in...

We have the WORST coach in the history of basketball!!! On that shot clock violation,... the 5 biggest idiots in the history of basketball could get a shot up in 20 seconds,... UNLESS some bigger idiot tells them such a big pile of malarkey that they get so confused that it didn't happen...

And to think,... every one of JGs teams were better than every one of Underwood's Illini teams so far. In the past everybody would jump up and down and say that Groce left the cupboard bare for Underwood - but we just got clobbered by the guys John Groce actually recruited. And FWIW - I was...

Those guys were pretty much all seniors. The 2010 - 2012 classes were Zook's worst by a mile. I'm not sure what point you were all making - so I'm not taking sides,... but I'm just pointing out that Zook's recruiting declined substantially at the end. Beckman did inherit a good senior class...

Actually - Finke's stats in Big Ten play are: 4.75 points per game 2.75 rebounds per game 0-9 for 3-pt field goals Not sure anybody is going to argue he plays great defense either.
