Davis needs to follow his shot on the ft a while back and yes, poor switch of Pyrce to give hima shot that leads to a tap in rebound.

- Cary-Grove, the better Trojan team
And just like that down ten again
Brads body language awful on the bench
Anything better than our drive/TO and 3 point chucking..
Team defense is SOFT
Because in a tight game, which we can all agree it will be, they are pure gold late. There's a ton of schematics late where those timeouts are critical. You have to have guys mature enough to weather some storms in the middle of a game, especially on your home floor. Saving them, as much as possible(not all the time)....it's smart. Now, there are time where you absolutely have to call one and reset everyone or get some rest.
Mirk has been not good. He has caused several breakdowns on defense switching/not switching and he hasn't given much at all on offense. Rough learning game for him.
One of these teams is really well coached.
Whatever we’re doing on offense and defense is a total mess. We seriously cannot drop a home game to Nebraska.
I love Wagler, but if at any point he wants to not settle for 25 ft 3 point shots that would be great. Actually, that applies for all of the guys

We are letting them believe, and not want to take the shot. Trouble
Our offense is sleepy. Time for less NBA more SFA.
That technical will swing the game… have seen this movie before….
This staff is getting absolutely embarrassed
It’s amazing how easy it is to get a bucket out of a time out when your head coach, or any coach on the staff for that matter,can actually draw up a play
This is embarrassing! Our offense looks like day 1 of kindergarten compared to theirs. They are crisp, cutting, moving, efficient, pocket passes. Ours is rub screen handoff, jog around, go 1 on 1 and hope.

Ball was moving early in the half and the shots just didn't fall, moved away from that which has been a mistake. Also, Wagler is so unreal for a freshman. Making some huge shots.
Berke Buy-a-Vowel with 3 steals, the Illini team with 2. Hoiberg coached teams always bring the hustle and fight for loose balls. We win this if we can just dial up the intensity and toughness. Playing from 10 down now, and not showing enough to close that gap. No excuses, given the rest and prep time we had before this game.

They always have at four guys in motion. We have two at the most and everyone else just stands. I get the two man game but when it isn't working where is the change up? It's been that way the last three years. Defenses constantly have three guys who are getting a breather while we are running non-stop on defense.

I like Brad and know end of season this will be a 3-6 seed but it’s the same stuff every year. Unless we have an elite hero, just some head scratching things.
Maybe we should play a box and one. Just a thought Brad.
I never wish for us to lose. But it is December and you are playing like $&@? so we deserve to lose right now. Have to feel the consequences of getting outplayed because discomfort is the seed for growth.
