I'm sorry....but did that just say we are shooting 46%???

That was the worst half of basketball from a basketball IQ perspective I've seen out of Illinois. This team unfortunately is just not a fundamentally good team. Really sad to see.
The first half of Bama A&M looked awfully similar.

53% of our shots were threes. Only three made. No free throws. Butt ugly.

I like Brad a ton but am skeptical gasket blowage is going to give us the answers
He's just doing what we all want to do.

I mean, it's like telling your kids to not do dumb stuff but they still do it anyway. Can only bottle up that emotion for so long.

Why do we do the Melendez cut to the basket only once per game? Why can't other guys do it? I feel like we are doing the same offense as last year just without Kofi.

Still don’t know how this team beat UCLA and Texas lol.

Texas beat themselves and Terrance turned into Steph Curry for a night. Didn’t deserve to win either game.

Honestly the best we have looked all year was against Virginia. Maybe because they play pack line and don’t pressure passing lanes. Seems like Brad’s teams always struggle with ball pressure.

Does positionless basketball mean no one is especially good at any position?

I don’t care what BU thinks, right about now I would take one of the PGs from NU.

Curious how this season with change Brad's thinking on recruiting and how to use the portal.
Yeah, it’s a gamble. I mean we hit with Plummer, but TSJ has been slumping. I think it’s best to build with recruits and he can blend them together over time, if he can keep them from entering the portal. It’s a tough job now.

Hawkins and Clark are killing us again! This is becoming a consistent theme.

I thought this team would live at the line given the size and ball handling to drive from multiple angles, but the best driver on the team is Epps, the smallest guy on the team. All our big guys do is sit 30ft out shooting 3’s (minus Dain). SMH.

At this point, the lineup has to be Harris, Dain, Epps, and ?? I honestly don’t know who to should fill the last 2 spots given how poorly everyone else is playing.
