BabaBOOEY!!!

Sorry, I've been holding that one back for a while

We need Kofi back in

 

[SuperMetroid]

Really sleepwalked through the last 5 minutes there

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Our offense has been garbage. Defense is keeping the margin comfortable.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Ok, that Audij tip slam was impressive

 

[Miles Leonard]

Honestly feels like we should be beating them by a ton more

 

[Illini_Jack]

Not how I wanted to end the half

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Sloppy play at the end of the half

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Brad ain’t happy

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

At least they didn't cut the lead to single digits by halftime.

Coleman Hawkins needs to worry less about yelling “GIMME THAT $h!T” every time he gets a block and worry more about grabbing a freaking rebound.

 

[tell it like it is]

Will this team ever just put somebody away? Please??!!

This game is not over whatsoever. We got outworked in that last five minutes of the half and the turnovers need to stop. Given how bad NW played, this should probably be a 20+ point game. NW has to be thrilled with "only" being down 12.

 

[BRucks]

0 assists for NW

I started watching with 7:12 left in the half. Hot garbage by both teams.

Maybe it is me, but our after timeout plays are very bad.

Trying to get to cute with the passing. Ayo, Miller and Hawkins all had one in the last few possessions.

Probably should have put Kofi back in somewhere around 2:30 mark, just to shut down their little rally. Coleman is all effort and zero awareness.

 

[BDMAN]

This team neerds to get their butt chewed at the half they have become nonchalant and none competeive not taking NW seriously

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

We have 10 turnovers. Against Northwestern.

They're also leading in offensive boards 6-3 (OTOH, they missed 22 shots, so more opps for OR).

 

[skyIdub]

Kofi double double in second half.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Well, the good news is we are up 12 with Kofi on the bench for 15 minutes and Ayo with 3 points. But, yeah, the last 5 minutes was garbage.

 

[azillini1]

GB having a good game. Overall, too careless with the ball. We do this against most BIG teams and we will be down at half.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Turnovers. Turnovers. Turnovers. Turnovers. Out shooting them 60% to 34% but NW has 7 more shots. Argh.

It's Ayo and Kofi time!
