No effort on rebounds

Our twins are so weak inside. Most 7 footers would dunk a ball when they are near the hoop.

Poor 6-9 Mirk is looking like he’s 6-2 today. Has no chance to finish at the rim.

Don’t book any more games at MSG. Not worth it. Team needs to work on defense, blocking out and rebounding. And we need an offense that can do something besides missing bad 3 point shots.

It was a nice season, lots of talent but the lack of experience really showed in the BTT and NCAAs. Great job by Brad Underwood in recruiting and scheduling, and getting some good results along with huge volatility in execution. Really love some of our players like Tomi, Boswell, White...

That had to be a top 3 game of the year for the Illini, maybe the best game, I’m not sure. Incredible performances by Riley, KJ, Boswell and Tomi. Defense and rebounding seemed very solid too. Too many turnovers but quite a game. Would like to see more minutes for Morez, he was great. Ben seemed...

Our team has been fun to watch this season, lots of rebounding and scoring until we run into a strong team like Maryland or Duke. Watching the BTT games the past 2 nights makes it clear our team has not learned how to play solid defense. The strongest teams in the conference play defense and are...

I think Kylan is our PG. KJ should be a SG.

That’s too high. Kylan is a solid PG.

What a relief. I’m optimistic again.

I’ve been a Brad supporter for years now but after watching this team in recent weeks, i think Josh needs to figure out if Brad is the guy. Great recruiting but not impressive results on the court. This season we have a bunch of talent but it hasn’t become a team. Poor shooting, poor defense and...

We have 3 nba players to be drafted and play like this? How can Brad and the players accept this kind of performance? Embarrassing.

I think Brad needs to push his ego aside, man up, have a meeting with Tre and get past whatever happened. It’s the best for the team and Tre.

Seems like we ran out of gas on offense and defense and rebounding cratered. 7 man rotation doesn’t cut it. Is Tre White in the dog house or does he have the flu for 2 weeks?

Watched it live but I’m going to have to replay that one. Everything came together in one game, the depth of a 9 man rotation, the shooting, fast break, wow.
