Need to get a better lineup on the floor out of this t.o.

Can't you compliment him on a good play? Quick to criticize, quiet when he does well.

Yep. The Tate and AA experiment needs to go away quickly.

JCL has swagger...kid is good...he's home and showing he's a legit B1G player..

So where are the AA haters now that he drew a foul and got Jok out of the game?

I don't think anyone hates the kid, just think there should be about 9 guys ahead of him on the depth chart. :thumb:

AA is going to play meaningful minutes as long as you are playing back to back games.... just gonna have to hope we can get by

We have to do a better job of screening that zone to get JCL a look . That really should be the purpose of the the other 4 players on the floor right now

Nope. I gave him his props, go back and look.

We've got to use the bench. Hectic pace in this game.

I recall making the run with Sergio to the Championship game (didn't we finish last in the regular season that year?) --- and we had no legs in the final.

And that was just 4 games!

Maannnn if this team was healthy

hooraybeer · Mar 10, 2016

it's infuriating to me that Groce thinks it's ever a good idea to have Tate and Austin in at the same time.. that was arguably our worst offensive possession of the game (of course). but I'm done posting until after the game

JCL doesn't seem like the stare down type ... other guy musta been running his mouth.

There is. 5 starts, 2-3 guys off the bench and the 4 injured guys.

KN cash!!!!

Bomb Squad 217 · Mar 10, 2016

We want this!!

Ulysses Everett McGill · Mar 10, 2016

IA gettin' rattled

illini8507 · Mar 10, 2016

Back to double digits!

PaytonHighstep · Mar 10, 2016

I love the intensity against Uthoff on that possession

ivwilsoniv · Mar 10, 2016

Great defensive strategy by Groce here. Switching between man and zone consistently. Keeping Iowa off balance.

PaytonHighstep · Mar 10, 2016

Get Tate out and put JCL at the point against that zone
