No more Yadi batting 5th, please.

And that's a problem. No recruit(s) is/are bigger than the program. There has to be some major silent verbal agreements in place to make this gamble even remotely worth it.

I can't fault any players that decided to leave for another program after all the debacles they had to go through during their time here, but I wonder how many of them are wishing they would've stayed the course now? :illinois::shield::chief:

I set my DVR for an extra 30 minutes before leaving for work this morning and it ended right at the start of 3OT. As much as I want to bash the state of the program, I can't right now. Good effort. Way to gut one out on the road. Wish that FT% would've shown up against WISC last week, haha...

I don't know if I'd consider the sky to be falling in wrt this year's outlook. All I know is that a LOT has to shake out in our favor. I see our squad evenly split on both sides with aging/injury prone players looking for a bounceback, and younger, largely unproven guys that could become...

Not really sure what to say about last night's game. Really found it odd Khalid felt the need to put the team on his shoulders with some of his (pretty makeable but somehow missed) shots at the end of the game. Was more or less bored while watching. Would like to see some actual set plays or...

Did anyone see his tweet about his announcement date? He had an emoji for every team. Ours was just a capital I. Couldn't have even used an eyeball or anything! While it would be nice to have some foreign talent on the team, I agree with anyone who has said it would be fine if he didn't choose...

Vs. IND he did exactly this, had his man beat for an easy lay-up, and then passed it back out to the three-point line-- twice. I feel he was really seeing the court well last year and was doing a better job setting up the offense without nearly the number of deep threats. I agree he's...

:congrats: I thought we would win after being in Champaign for 10 days in a row. No road games. No travel. Just a bunch of 3 point attempts with a low conversion rate and no adjustments. What a joke. Foolishly optimistic after the Purdue game. When Tim Miles is coaching circles around you as...

Glad I wasn't able to bet on this game, as I would for sure have taken PUR minus the 9. Even gladder I would have been proven wrong. This is certainly a win off which to build. Saw consistent effort from start to finish and we didn't fade whenever it appeared Purdue was starting a run.

Thanks :thumb:

Is there a link to a post game interview anywhere? I tried Binging it and came up empty.

It should look like we have a semblance of any set offense. I don't care if we're running out team managers to play (which I know we did last year). We have yet to shoot over 50% in conference play in 3.5 years. That's simply astonishing. Different year. Different players. Still a lot of...

All I know is that we've seen an 8 game in-conference losing streak 2 years ago, a complete and epic collapse at the end of last year, and absolute pantsing defensively this year. This is JG's 8th year as a head coach. He's young relative to other coaches, but let's not pretend he's completely...

I think it's funny, not so much in a haha way, but more of a sad way, where we are now compared to a year ago. We played MICH a year ago to the day, albeit on the road. We lost that game. We lost this game. I remember Aubrey Dawkins torching nets last year. A no name at the time. He pretty...
