Dainja is getting absolutely abused. Guy is going to need PTSD treatment after this one.

Maybe, but our D is WEAK tonight.
Brad wont send the double team or give tjd another look defensively and it is killing us. Dainja has no chance one on one.
This .... and nothing else. Full court, trapping defense.
Where is Leib when you need him
It's obvious nobody on our team can guard TJD one on one, right? Right?? It's past time to double him.
People saying TSJ is not a good player is like saying Kofi is not a good player. They both make their living in the paint (Kofi with power and TSJ with quickness and moves) and both couldn't shoot a lick from the outside. I am not saying TSJ is better than Kofi, but he is dominating this game like Kofi did many times against Indiana.
If we can't shut down the bigs (not all that imposing) of Indiana, Purdue will kill us.

Mayer is very crafty on D. I’d think he could help some.
TJD…he’s as punchable as a Hawkeye. He’s a good ball player but he’s getting layups and dunks. You should be 9/9 when dunking.
My take is the BU had a strategy planned on how DD would play him. Sticking to it due to no foul trouble. Problem is, to stay out of foul trouble, DD is letting TJD do a layup drill. He is a lot more skilled than Illini fans want to credit him. Double him and he is pretty good at getting the ball back to an open teammate.
Just a piss poor effort all around tonight, unfortunately. This is an Indiana team that is rather mediocre and has not won on the road in two months. Not a game you can lose at home if you hope to compete for conference championships.
Yet another slice of humble pie being served to this young, seemingly immature group.

Holy moly we made TJD have to pass it out
Such poor game planning. Letting TJD go 1 on 1 all game and no adjustment?
Game over
Time to press if we want to have a chance
We finally made the adjustment. Unfortunately we waited until we were down 20 to do it.
Where’s the fire and the hustle in this team? We don’t have anyone on this team that can out bully the other team.
Didn’t come to win tonight..every lose ball and rebound off our hands..no sense of urgency
It's almost like Underwood still thinks he has Kofi to challenge TJD.
He’s not “getting” layups and dunks, he’s taking them by force. Big difference.
