Can’t even throw the ball in bounds.

What was Brad talking about saying we were getting any shot we wanted??

This is hard to watch right now. Thanks

We are so bad and doing the easy things. It's so sad.

We already have 7 turnovers. But unlike in the previous games when we carelessly turned it over, we were completely outplayed and forced turnovers today, which is more disastrous.

Having the ball in your hands under control as well as putting it in the net are good things the Illini might want to try. At this point, that seems like trying to fly to the moon.

The main issue I see is Houston is allowing certain guys to shoot. Belo, Hawk, and DMW and guarding everyone else. If Hawk, DMW and Belo are scorers now's the time to do it or we are in trouble

Not exactly. They're daring guys to shoot where they're not that good, and it's working because they're not able to get better shots. Settling for the shots you're not good at is a recipe for losing. Great scouting and execution by Houston. Need a TO IMO to fire the guys up --they're in a weak rhythm that's not going to get it done.

who is inbounding the ball for us??? Kofi into a trap on the sideline and then throw it away. 3 inbounds plays in a row = 3 turnovers. Back to bad basketball 101 for us. Get heads in game, cut hard with a dam purpose

Here we go again, some in Illini nation are angry with Seth Davis & Charles Barkley. Houston is a better team & I can't stand Kelvin Sampson! We are a good, not great inconsistent team. In the age of everybody thinks they're Steph Curry, the 3-point shot is still a low percentage shot. I have cheered for the orange & blue since the 1970s & I hope we beat these guys. I would love the Illini to quiet the naysayer s but we've got to shoot better & commit less turnovers or we are done!!!!

Probably the last game of the season and we still don’t have an inbound play. That’s on the coach.

Our 7 footer just tried to pass the ball out of a double team from below his knees.

It may good night, folks. I think we are seeing what a Chattanooga like performance looks like against a better than Chattanooga team.

BU us fine I guess with Belo and Hawk taking most of our shots. I think Sampson is too. It's a joke.

How many points does Curbelo have? Maybe if he stood on his head and shot.... He's entertaining. He's delightful. He's artistic. He's thrilling at times. But it's basketball and it's a team sport, not a circus and not a solo performance. Underwood needs to take him out and start yelling at the rest of the team to play basketball. Really, are we going to let Kelvin Sampson's team beat us??!! Come on, Illinois. Play basketball!

Who else on our team is making baskets today?
