FFS Put Wagler up top and let him handle the ball

Offense has been atrocious without him.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Our inbounds and OOTO stuff is ABSOLUTE … Has been since Gentry left … It’s absolutely ridiculous this is still an f’ing problem …

All these coaches and none of these dudes can draw up an f’ing play that gets us a clean look ?!?!??!

No call on the travel. What are we doing? Pathetic play this half.

Was watching a throwback game from the 90s and while there have been a ton if changes to the game, how they handle traveling is one of the biggest. Just night and day difference and in my opinion has made the game so much worse. They need to go back to strictly calling it

Bam Bam!

Hey AS, your job is to know where the roller is....in that case, standing all alone under the hoop for a dunk!!!

50 …

Boswell just had a fantastic set on the D end and then hit the 3 on the other. Great conditioning. He's really busting his butt on D and then still has the legs on the outside shot.

I know we dont do it much but in the bonus and with how good tomi is as a passer could he get a post touch? They are calling fouls.

Here we go again … Zero offense outside of shoot 3s … Sick and tired of seeing Tyler just stand up and wave his hand around telling them to run …

Transition defense ??? We clearly don’t practice it …

And I don’t wanna hear how this is the 2nd best offense … It’s not … It is totally reliant on us making tough 3s …

Our transition d cost us the game to Nebraska- you could argue Bama... and it certainly didn't help against Uconn.

Good thing we have those actions to fall back on when we need a bucket out of a time out

 

[derrick6]

KB is an elite defender. We owe this run to his effort

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Wagler is sooo good but we should be embarrassed by how bad we’ve looked tonight when he’s been off the court.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Huge shot by Bos but don’t particularly love the shot. Drive the ball…..

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Not a freshman game — BIG ref game. Look at his plays when he’s one the court. The problem is he can’t be due to horrid calls. The 2nd and 4th fouls were straight up dog

It was the 3rd foul that created the issue. If he leaves that half with only two fouls, we would have rolled our eyes at the first foul of the second half. Going after an offensive rebound that hard with two fouls and 4 minutes left in the half was silly.

It's water under the bridge now. He and they have to figure it out on the fly.

Our offense produces zero off the ball.

Better be careful … The Tyler has the #2 offense people will come for you …

 

[Keene-4-3]

There is something clearly wrong with Tomi.

 

[FloridaMan]

Z pleez!

Doesn’t exist …

 

[BoiseBaller]

Tomi is just broken. Hasn't done anything well tonight.

 

[GTL Adam]

Tomi??

 

[eas23]

That was a really poor decision by Boswell.

 

[chief]

When is the last time Tomi got a rebound?

 

[DeeIL89]

Tomi can't even catch pass thrown directly in front of him? WTH?

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Team is so FN slow out there with these Ben-Mirk-Tomi lineups.

Just brutal.

 

[derrick6]

Now we need interior defense and rebounding! Bring Big Z back
