    Just sickening to watch. Should be crushing these guys. We can’t seem to play with aggressiveness with our top ranked offense.

    2 7 footers towering over our opponents and 0 post game. Just stupidity at all levels.

    Wisconsin 91, Illinois 88 OT Postgame

    So damn weak when there's a bully (or a ref) beating us up. Unfortunately, its been shown over and over again that how you play coming into the tourney is also your fate in the tourney. Guards will beat us, we will get out-rebounded, and we will fail to hit free throws when that day comes.

    Speaking of which, is Ty not going burn his redshirt this year? I thought I heard last that he was coming back in Feb?

    Michigan 84, Illinois 70 Postgame

    Disappointing, not this one game but our recruiting philosophies. We are built to look like world-beaters when we play smaller, not overly athletic teams with average defenses. These are the teams we should beat in the tournament. We are NOT going to beat the aggressive, athletic teams that...

    UCLA 95, Illinois 94 OT Postgame

    Just missing that killer instinct up 23 points early. Then playing casual/optional defense the rest of the way only to give up an uncontested layup at the end. That's brutal. I think this mindset just a couple weeks from the tourney means we aren't in the right place. We should be...

    UCLA 95, Illinois 94 OT Postgame

    Our 7 footer couldn't stop a laypup? Come on! Andrej, come on man you gotta toughen up and grab that offensive rebound and its game over! Oh and play some D please.

    Illinois 88, Purdue 82 Postgame

    Still riding that high. Had a great workout after the game with all that energy, then a great dinner with friends. I think the beloved Illini may just be influencing to a very high degree the entirety of my life :)

    Obnoxious Renn. Over-rated Braden. POS Zebras.

    Play some decent defense and we can win this! (Mirk, Tomi, Andrej)

    Going all in on team Euro sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I'm not sold on this strategy.

    Nebraska 83, Illinois 80 Postgame

    Settle in guys, another one of those Brad's teams that will play great once in a while and get you excited, but we know they are easy to dissect/out-coach, don't have the toughness/athleticism to hang with the big boys, and just don't have the "it" factor. Our ceiling perennially is the 2nd...

    And now we should win 10 in a row :)

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

    This should be an easy win. Illinois can't seem to smell blood and run all over them. Just don't see the fight.
