Unfortunately, we go as Kendrick does. And since the big win against Purdue, Kendrick has been horrible.

There was a game plan?

The closest situation injury wise to the Illini team this year was last years michigans team. Had just as horrible an injury situation yet remained very competitive and beat us 2, maybe 3 times as I recall. The one major difference was and is - good coaching.

Dakich please stop, Indiana isn't even lighting us up. We are lighting ourselves up with our nonsensical lack of effort.

No injury excuse for this one. Or for the last one for that matter.

If your point is that injuries aren't making us lose by 30+, I agree. If your point is that because we have Thorne back, there isn't an injury excuse, I don't think you see how out of game shape he is right now.

I hope we get beat by 50. Get them in a room and make them watch this crap all day.

Down 33 with Indy nailing 16 three pointers tonight-disgusting

And regarding my O/U question it looks like way over is the answer.

As my homie Carlos Zambrano famously said, "We stinks"

My point was the former. A new AD is going to have to take a long look at the state of this once great program.

I can't believe our starters are still in this game. Our coach just doesn't know how to get a message across apparently.

Did we even show any interest in Beilfeldt as a grad transfer?
 
#272      
Are they really going to use their version of Ryan Schmidt on us?

Honestly, in about 17 years of viable Illini-viewing memories, this is the worst basketball performance I can remember. Only two or three even come close.

It isn't just losing big on the road. One of our stars was miserable. A kid we passed on twice is lighting us up. Our PG turned down a wide open layup down 30. We'll give up 100 after allowing a team to shoot 84% in the first 12 minutes of the second half. We aren't chasing guys down, instead allowing them to happily go for Dunk contest type dunks. I just watched our PG dribble the ball off his foot on a fast break.

Guys, we stinks. I know we're injured, missing 3 preseason starters. But the defense isn't there. The offense isn't there. The EFFORT isn't there. The coaching isn't there.
