please get a message to coaching staff. at 12:13 first half, iowa player made a shot. it was a 2 NOT a three, but given credit for 3. so, score off by 1. neither ref raised their arm and the player's foot was on the line. we can't lose by that one point.

Only Wagler and Stojakovic have more than 2 points. 
Mute.
Iowa is defending very well. More movement is needed. 1 3 pointer in the first half.
Illinois has no offense right now.
It's all just iso. Get some off ball movement going.
Stojakovic is going a better job on Stirtz than Boswell. His length gives him something to think about.

Really hope Jake stays on pine for most of 2nd half. You absolutely can't keep AS off the floor for long.
AS kept us in both this game and vs VCU

We’ll be alright. We’ve been a second-half team all tournament. Long game…we still have to get a lead to flirt with giving up.
If we lose this though that would be the most Illinois fandom thing ever.

Not worried at all…come back to this!

This ain’t gonna get it done boys. You want this or not?
Ben/Jake - move without the ball. Get in the short corners. Do something other than being another body on the floor.
Boz - where’s the elite defense? You letting a guy named Bennett do this?
Tomi - take some of Z’s fire.
Mirk - settle the hell down. Use your body to get position rebound and go back up. Your taps aren’t working.
Z - spark.
KW - be aggressive.
Drej - keep going.

Andrej starts the 2nd half.
Screw the normal rotation!

Only 1 assist in first half for us… the ball is not moving. Also, the screens at the top of the key are really sloppy. Haven’t seen a good one the entire game.
Start Z and AS in the second half. BAM and Tomi should be getting fewer minutes until the can show an impact.

I mean Iowa had 7 turnovers and got beat on the offensive glass 7-1. They would be in control of this game if they limited the 2nd chances
Trying to look at the bright side here. As bad as we played and as good as they’ve played we’re only down 4. Gotta come out strong in the first 5 of the second. The first few minutes of the second half could decide this game.
Because he keeps turning it over.
Out rebounded them by 10 but you cant miss the damn lay ups and put backs.
