That foul on Coleman is a direct result of having zero effective inbounds plays
Does it seem like other teams can get open cuts to the rim and Illinois can’t?
Absolutely awful defensively.
Would not have been a foul if we knew how to run a dang inbounds play ... 
If they call a T here, this place is gonna get ugly.

Goode is so slow and always off balance.
I feel like this team can’t do anything simple or easy anymore.
That’s a flagrant

Very much trending in the wrong direction unfortunately
I guess I should not have said good things about CoHawks play today so far. Roller coaster is right
Ditto.

Yes it does
As sad as it it is, that was probably Luke's best defensive possession tonight and he'll pry get a flagrant. His man is averaging around 2.0ppp this game thus far
That's what happens when you take double digit threes in a half.
Luke not allowing an and-1, but a bit too exuberant methinks.

I literally quit basketball for baseball in eighth grade, and it’s still patently obvious to me that Luke should be put in to take a couple open looks to potentially extend a lead or close the gap and then sit. On a team that is having a defensive crisis, we can’t have him playing extended minutes … and I love the guy.
No way they beat the squaks if this continues, expecting a Iowa run to start 2nd half, and a lack of response from the boys. Terrence playing today???
How about just moving! Lol

Luke is not a high minute player on a championship quality team. He just isn't.

More generally, if our strategy is to outscore everyone … we should all emotionally check out now. We’ll win some more, we’ll lose some more, but odds of a March run are VERY low.
