A tough battle between the moveable object and the resistable force. I think our team has been super-soft all season. We've had some surprising wins and some shocking losses. I'd hate to put money on this one, but we're better on the road anyway. Watch us pull off a win against Houston and...

Brad's coaching prowess on full display. Does he think this is the NCAA tournament or something? Another huge lead blown that ends in OT loss. Figure it out. We're fun to watch but Jayzuz. That's just brutal.

Worst game of the year. What an embarrassment. Not just out coached and out played. We were out hustled too. Our team looked like they didn't care at all. I don't remember when I saw a better definition of sucking out loud. We looked 100% uncompetitive the entire game except maybe one or...

Doing this like75% of the time at least gives you a CHANCE. Make them beat you, don't fall back and take it as a given.

worst loss... SO FAR

I agree. It all comes down to whether or not coaches can gameplan a way to defend the perimeter successfully. I don't particularly like our odds, but that's why we play the game. Win or lose it will be mostly fun at the State Farm Center. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the game...

So this is what I am holding onto from this point on in the season. Thank you. It might be total crap, but it's good enough for now.

Had to drive home tonight and missed the game. My wife asked me if I'd try to find the game on the radio and I replied, "Nope. It's going to be an embarrassing loss. Probably around 20 points." Boy, did I underestimate our ability to tank the second half. In any case, beautiful drive home...

I don't disagree but that isn't the problem here. We have a LOT of talent. They can play together, but they look lost at times and we're TERRIBLE at making adjustments. Portal toys or no, we have coaching issues. Being up double digits on MSU and then blowing the game, and these kids are...

Limit turnovers, crash boards, and make free throws. We win on made free throws.

It's not that they don't like winning. THEY DON'T HATE TO LOSE. --Shoresy

I 100% agree. They miss shots they made in high school reliably. They're so tight you can hear them squeak when they run down the floor. This really does seem to be an Underwood thing year after year. They get tighter and tighter and tighter... until it can't be ignored and then they try to...

I very much enjoyed watching US take those backdoor cuts for easy layups instead of watching Maryland/Nebraska doing it to us. It really is more fun to give than receive.

I particularly enjoyed how the broadcasters waxed on about how this officiating crew was the very best at what they do and got to this bowl game by grading out so highly or some such nonsense; of course this was after sevral terrible calls. It was like a call went up to the booth, "The refs are...

One of these two things doesn't potentially put player safety at risk. If Beamer thinks a player giving himself up and then throwing a lateral for a trick return is fine and legal, then is it also legal for Illinois to always ignore a player signaling they are giving themselves up and hitting...
