Only a matter of time before Curbelo is starting for us. Team looks so much better when he is on the floor.
Cant keep an 85% shooting pace all game - and from the outside. Get this down to 5 by half and we'll be good.Penn State can't miss. I'm not sure that's the defenses fault either.
Yes, but OSU for the calls that Rutgers got against us.Not only that but Rutgers just got their arse handed to them by tOSU.
How’s the score?how's Illinois's defense?
I agree. They won't hit 80% for the entire game.A whole lot of game left. I'm not concerned.
PSU is white hot. Generally, they have had a ton of open shots.how's Illinois's defense?

Thanks. That's an important insight. It was my experience while paying but I never got within a light year of this level.Heard a great quote from Loren Tate earlier this week, while discussing the foul situation we always seem to be encountering in our losses so far this year. Paraphrasing......
"Lou Henson used to tell me that when our players/fans complain about fouls, it's really a problem with our defense. Our guys are getting beat by the offensive player, and our poor defense is causing us to foul. Seldom, if ever, is it about the refs. We just need to get better on the defensive end of the court."
I mention this because it's also my personal belief. We've played bad defense so far this year, as evidenced particularly by the Rutgers score and the first 8 minutes tonight!
If all their shots are layups they can hit +60%... our defense stinksColor me concerned.
