Just take it up strong Finke! No need to shot fake and let two guys collapse on you.

If there's one positive to take from this second half it's that we're creating a textbook tape on how not to play defense.

I'm a fan and have hope that someway somehow the team turns in a solid performance. I'm an Illini fan and have been forever, but I'm sorry if being real about where this program is upsets you. I envy you guys that are positive about the future and this team, but I can't blindly throw out positive feelings when it's painfully obvious there isn't any.

You can feel that way if you want, that's up to you. I really don't care.
I just want to know how to set you as ignore so I don't have to look at your continuesly negative posts.

Well... getting embarrassed on national TV! Seems about right these days. Is it next season yet?

That tape has been created several times this year.

Finke is so much better than he's played since the injury. I wonder if he's still feeling it or if it's a mental thing? He needs to snap out of it...somebody needs to get in his ear and keep reminding him how good he is.

Defense terrible as usual, no offensive plan as usual. Coaching is sad. Listening to these fans chant ILLINOIS SUCKS, and we know they're right. Dark days.

It's not luck. Funny how terrible defense and high percentage shooting correspond, huh?

I'm aware of that. I'm also aware they still have to make those open shots (which they haven't been doing recently), and they are making them at an amazing percentage on Senior Night

Finkes shot fake is pathetic, and this team seriously lacks simple fundamentals.

3 minutes left, down by 30 and Hill is still in. Get him out of there so we have him for the B1G playoffs.

And it's not just typically negative folks pointing this out. Both Werner and Piper, normally very optimistic observers, say that we simply have no plan on offense. Big Ten Geeks has tweets up mocking our offensive sets. Alarming.

senior nights are kind of strange that way. Just watched Akron make 20 3s on 50 per cent shooting the other night. eesh.
