Only a matter of time before Curbelo is starting for us. Team looks so much better when he is on the floor.

I'm so in love with Curbelo's game. I just can't wait to watch him grow over the next few years.

Cant keep an 85% shooting pace all game - and from the outside. Get this down to 5 by half and we'll be good.
A whole lot of game left. I'm not concerned.
how's Illinois's defense?

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!

Yes, but OSU for the calls that Rutgers got against us.
Belo and Kofi are a real problem for people. He needs to start. No question.

How’s the score?

I agree. They won't hit 80% for the entire game.
Nice to see Miller hit a 3

Miller drains a 3!

PSU is white hot. Generally, they have had a ton of open shots.

The fact we're down by just 10 is a good thing.

Yeah, they're hitting everything. But our defense is also looking sloppy.
We seem to have stopped the bleeding, keep it within 5-7 by halftime and we’ll be in decent shape.

Thanks. That's an important insight. It was my experience while paying but I never got within a light year of this level.

CURBELO: Based upon what we've seen so far, I agree. Curbelo starts for Frazier next game. What a facilitator!
Wow - we actually had a good play called.
If all their shots are layups they can hit +60%... our defense stinks
