Brandon Paul is the only Illini I have ever seen as hot as Lykes. Downey scored a bunch, but not from those spots. Rick Mount of Purdue is another story all together.
We need someone that will stand up during the huddle and say ENOUGH! We need heart, whether it leads to over aggressive play, fouls etc. you CANNOT come to Champaign and run away like this.Blitzed! I HAVE to believe it’s effort, but I have to say that our offensive sets are memorable and repetitive. We’re being outcoached and this is embarrassing. I can firmly say (as an avid Illini fan for 10+ years) that this game will alter the course of the season and path that we embark on.
And - we don’t even get recognition at our own games !! They talk about all these other teams.I just don’t understand when we are down by almost 30 why we have 4 outside passing the ball around, like maybe it’s time to start some new offense Bc this is horrible.
When we tried that, it resulted in repeated turnovers.Can anyone drive the basketball?
.....since the 70s.
Lol. No defending that. Can we get this down to 10 by halftime?
Brad and Lovie compared notes on how to come out flat, unprepared, and uninspired.
We should. It’s called having home court advantageCrowd roars as we chip the lead down to...18.
The opponent also had significant injuries to contend with. It's so Illini that we are comparing which heartbreaking performance is worse, though.At least football had nearly a full starting lineup of injuries to somewhat explain things. This is just unacceptable
