Cannot shoot and cannot rebound. Going to be a long game.

0-7 from 3. I don't care if it's open, for the love of goodness, stop shooting them.
Only Illinois would KJ pass up a wide open layup to pass out for us to shoot a 3 that we miss
Make a frickin' shot.
KJ had a layup on that last one.
Passing up easy ups for another missed three…
We have no explosiveness, or ability to go up in the lane. Scared, perhaps
KJ need to finish the layup. He kicks it out every....single.....time. Just lay it up.
How about try a different one?

It's so frustrating. I can't understand it from either the players or coaches. Keep ignoring what doesn't work and do it more.
Closest thing to a goose egg
I pray for a will Riley Heater night. ... but then again.. we will get cooked by Duke shooting lights out..
I guess we are just going to aim every three.... instead of shooting it.

This is the worst outside shooting team I can remember since I started following Illinois basketball 35 years ago.
But if we hit those 7, we would be winning 31-18
I mean perfect setup to DGL and can't hit the open 3 in rhythm. What can you do *shrugs* We've gotten incredible shot quality this game. Need to make open shots. Simple as that right now

I thought it was funnyClassy commentary on how a college kid gets mono
I thought (based on an insider post) we were getting a “different KJ” tonight. I don’t see it, still passing up open layups for 3s.
We look completely outclassed. Ben has nowhere to hide on defense.
