    Strong finish! Down 4 after three quarters. Bryant made a three and we evened up the rebounds.

    Missing a ton of shots at the rim today. Gotta make those - especially the bigs. The guards are driving into traffic and struggling to convert. Just out of sync

    Some mind boggling turnovers but fun to watch. It's been a back and forth game so far. Need to get Bryant going

    Maybe part of what we're seeing is that building team cohesion - especially offensively - is hard and takes time? I'm not trying to knock the efforts or intentions of the senior transfers who have led the team in scoring so many times with big individual games, but when they're off, there's not...

    Big effort from the team tonight! The first few minutes were back and forth and neither team could miss. Illinois went up 19-10 at one point and the crowd was going nuts. IU called a time out and settled down. They made some adjustments to cut off our guards who had been driving straight down...

    Just watched the press conferences. You can't listen to coach and the players talk and not be impressed and excited for this team.

    I'm gonna go with "yes" on that. In fact, I think that's where I am. I played girls bball back in the day and still could never get into watching the sport in general. Right now I'm enjoying supporting this team and benefitting from other people's more general fandom ;)
