Is Dainja the only who goes in for rebounds on the offensive side? With this team's athleticism, I'd expect more offensive rebounds. One and done isn't a trait for a top team, something Illinois is becoming less and less as the season, games and possessions increase.

This offense does not suit him. At all.
Kinda? Pretty sure Stevie Wonder would have about the same defensive efficiency rating.
I wish Skyy would try to attack but he isn't. Harris is great off the bench but we need a guard or anyone that can penetrate defenses. Epps is really the only one that is doing it in the half court. Until we don't hit these open threes we will need Epps playing the most of our guards.

There's your obligatory Hawkins "throw it right to the defender" pass.
Coleman should not handle the ball at the point anymore; this is getting old. I'm sorry.
CoHawk - 1 step forward, 2 steps back. 3 turnovers.

After passing up a good shot.....
Hawkins Bball iq is not good and I’m an optimist.
TSJ what are you doing

And I definitely yelled an expletive after that Hawk pass and the intentional foul. Just so darn frustrating.
I get why they're gonna call this a flagrant 1 but due credit to Audige for selling the hell out of that
Coleman just cost us a high quality open shot, a flagrant foul, two fouls on TSJ, and at least 2 maybe 4 free points for NW. Awesome.

Hope he’s met his quota…
That one was oof…
Terrible.
Coleman that's in you! Dude shoot the shot or dont but be smart man!
Co Hawk and TSJ just look lost man. It’s so frustrating. Our defense is good enough to be a great team if we could score with any bit of consistency.
We lack any semblance of a leader within the men's basketball program at the moment. So much talent and so little chemistry. Did not anticipate this before the start of the year.
I hope not! He needs about 5 more of those to meet his average.
Another is I think is overall basketball IQ of this team. They need to watch more film. Individually. Learn the game of basketball like Trent and AYO would study.
Missing from this team.
Missing from this team.
NU uniforms look like they came from Semi-pro. The Flint Tropics would be proud.
