Maybe we are underestimating the psychological aspect of what he is going through and that may be impacting his on court play as well as the fact that he was out for a handful of weeks. A rape charge and all the pressure one has to deal with can't just be easily forgotten or removed from one's mind.

Coleman really struggled defending stronger 5s. They are going to keep going at him. Once again a team is !!!! hunting and exploiting matchups just like last game. Hopefully Underwood adjusts.

I U shooting 50% and we are at 34%. How many teams are we going to let shoot +50% against us. Also, IU now out-rebounding us. What happened to our team?

Incredibly frustrating to see an okay Northwestern hold serve against us at their place while we go down our leg against a subpar IU team at our place.

Is this the day we start talking about missing the tournament....we get blown by every possession, and our offense is now back it down and miss a shot.
Overreaction of the day right here. They are clearly not this bad. They are having a bad game, albeit at home. That is not encouraging but this is an NCAA tournament team so just stop it

Pathetic start to both halves. Where is the energy? Where is the swagger? Where is the fight?

What’s with these Illini since the Maryland game? We can talk about TSJ integration and flu all we want… but someone has got to step up and lead this team.

Ok, I know TSJ is not "at game speed". To me this is the game to stay with him to get him back. I hope to see him play 15+ in the 2nd half. I see a surprise double/double comeback to spark the Illini 2nd wind of the season
Boy do I look stupid. If TSJ is not driving, rebounding, or looking for his shot. Sit

If we can come out and play like this after that embarrassing display on Wednesday in Welsh Ryan, I don't think there are any indications that we'll be "fine" at any time. There are some serious flaws in our team that our opponents are beginning to exploit.

Why is there no double team/help from someone else for Hawkins? How long will BU allow Hawkins to be abused by centers in this league in the post?
