Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Down 8 and walking it up the court...love it!

Because these guys are just *playing basketball* at all times. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. Onto the next game.

Some teams have that it factor, and others don’t. Period. And we don’t. It doesn’t piss these guys off to lose, and I don’t want to hear arguments to the contrary because we have more than enough evidence that this is the case. They’ve lost so many games now due to slow starts, silly turnovers, shooting like a high school team … and nothing changes.

Know why Ben just sunk that deep three? Because it didn’t matter. It was “just Ben shooting threes” … no more pressure, not giving all you had in any way possible for your TEAM to win.

We are going to get beat by a team that started 4 frosh.

Just gotta make it to the tournament. But getting nervous about making it all together if this type of play keeps up.

I'm a huge BU fan and this team still has a ridiculous ceiling. But good lord, this has been a stinker.

Should have had change a long time ago ...

I've been saying this for years. It's just lipstick on a pig from the offense he brought to Illinois. And no defense. No in game changes. Dude gets out coached constantly. Some serious depth chart issues.
