No worries, Illini win 74-72. 
Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern
- Status
Illini have also clanged several wide open 3’s. When shots aren’t falling everything looks worse. And this team’s shooting appears to be at a low point
In their defense, it's not like Northwestern sucks at it.
Also, we're gonna have to get some big kills here or we're toast.
Crazy we were favored by so much in this game
IMO, our freshman guards get taken advantage of and they're getting taken advantage of by seniors. To me, it's execution or a lack thereof. BU has won a LOT of games with us. He didn't suddenly forget how to coach. Last year, we were the team with the seniors.

It’s simple. Brad is a good evaluator of Rae T.
Say what you will...we are a streaky team and we don't quit. Anyone here remember when we were down by double digits to the #2 ranked team?No worries, Illini win 74-72.

The NU defense swarmed us in the first half and we clearly didn't have an answer. We need to figure that out or suffer a double digit loss.
The good news is we're getting better penetration than we did in Evanston. The bad is that we haven't completely figured it out

Let them drive they can’t hit layups
Is that like 9 straight games Mayer had been fouled on a 3?!
Mayer draws that foul once per game.
MM is an artiste of the step back
Interesting strategy. 0/10 from three, so every shot out of halftime is a three.
Let's see how the second half unfolds, but what I haven't seen here is credit to the other guys. They're really good. That's getting lost a bit. Ok, epic comeback coming.
No, no, that was very early. UCLA. Texas was the game where they let up Mayer was perfect.
Life?!
Come on!
Yep and Jaden put them away.
And just like that, we're under 10.
If this team decides to make their identity on D, we're fine.
