Hate to see the Illini have a bad half, but looking on the bright side the doomsday, sky is falling posts are kind of humorous.

As bad as Illini shot, being down only 10 is a gift. Get it back to even within first five minutes and then finish things off for the win.

Guess we will se what we are made of at this point. Many missed opportunities, a little foul trouble....okay. Now, just show us illini basketball and take over.

Pretend we're at NW and it's the second half.

We are getting mugged and the refs are terrible. Yes we are playing terrible as well.
I think the blame the refs line is getting a little old.
We have no offensive movement, no energy, no defense, no fast break mindset when we have our chances, no leadership from our all BIG stars, but gee, if only had better refs?

Make sure we get back and defense and make them earn everything in the half court and we should be okay. Some of those layups will start going down.

I'm still taking this team to the Prom. They'll get their makeup and hair right at halftime.
As a Dad who is often asked to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race with my daughters...I endorse this statement

they are really focused on shutting down ayo's driving and really collapsing if the ball goes into kofi or Georgi knowing they aren't passing it out.

Yes and other than those two offensive moves, really the only thing we had was TF dropping threes.

Ayo is trying to force it on drives. Nobody can rise up with him on a pull up jumper. He needs to take one hard dribble and rise up for a shot.

Getting out-toughed by a mediocre Michigan State team is not a good look. Apparently we can only bring our A games against Minnesota
To be fair, MSU is due for a come-to-Jesus moment given Izzo's 'tude with how they've been playing.

I will give MSU some credit....they do not have a lot of big time scoring but playing well on that end.....but their defensive plan and execution has been superb. Let's see if our staff can figure it out and get the Illini to victory.

On the bright side, Trent's 3 point shots from this season only could be a several minute highlight reel. He's hit a couple great ones tonight.

I don't see MSU shooting 50+% the rest of the way, and we get Kofi back. Stay out of foul trouble and D up like the first 5 minutes and make this right.
