I promised myself I'd be ok if we lost this one...I just didn't anticipate we'd give up. Don't think we learned whatever lesson the scare with Ohio was supposed to teach us.
Sure can, zero adjustments on defense, zero offensive adjustments. Do you like when we just dribble it at half court and wait for a ball screen that does nothing or when the dribble hand off weave does nothing. Let me know.Not sure what was terrible about. Can you explain this?
If Kofi hadn't gotten into trouble, I don't see a 1-pt game at halftime.Sucks to lose that way, but I have to think it only makes us better and gives us a lot to learn from. We likely won't play a better back court all season. Loved how strong some of our freshman played. Ayo and Kofi will have better games. We were just out of rythym when Kofi got into foul trouble early.
And Miller 2 for 11.Ayo 6-18 says it all
Yeah, Illinois had to work for every basket. Great perimeter defense and without Kofi, it was hard to help on drives.Were we watching the same game? We showed up to play. We just fell asleep for like a 5 minute stretch in the second half and you can't do that and recover against a team like Baylor. For most of the game we played at worst even with them despite our best two players being ice cold. I am not happy, per se, but encouraged that we are a good team now and by mid-season we will be a true force.
Both Ace and Ayo were a bit off. Kofi playing a little out of himself as well. Credit to Baylor for taking all three out of their element.And Miller 2 for 11.
Fourth game against the number 2 team in the nation. A close game until half way thru the second. I don't see how the world you can describe this game as disappointing. You act like we were never in the game. Where this team goes is to get better and improve.Very disappointing performance
Ayo and Cockburn(our best players) were particularly disappointing.
Not sure where this team goes from here but I see way too many flaws to seriously consider them a championship contender at this point. Just let the youth grow and gain experience.
Whenever we lose you can count on this post.What a terrible coaching effort by Underwood. That effort was pathetic.
Sucks but maybe we’re an elite 8 team. Probably sweet 16. Something is missing, effort, coaching, not sure but we should have played them tighter at the end.
Griffin-no. Feliz-absolutely.Missing Griffin and Feliz is bigger than most people want to accept.
He had a mullet!Even the white boy was dancin’ on us
