Big Ten rule. Note how other conferences with fans and such are rather lax compared to a program like Illinois. Look how many games Mizzou and SLU have missed.Why doesn’t Illinois have fans when some other schools do?
I don’t think Ohio state is a team you can make a huge prolific run against like NU. I don’t want to say never, or that we won’t adjust and make it close but not feeling a W at the end of the day
Agreed. The weave has never worked well for this team. It runs the clock down and we inevitably take a rushed or forced shot.BU is simply not doing a good job with this team- what exactly does the handoff weave Accomplish? We have two plays high ball screen and handoff weave
We need to just run set plays everyone down the floor like back in the Self days- letting players decide what to do isn’t working
Hard to rebound when everything they make goes in. This is more about gamescriptOutrebounded 19 to 11 and we are bigger down low!!!!!!!!
True but our offensive rebounding is abysmal as well. Plenty of chances there.Hard to rebound when everything they make goes in. This is more about gamescript
40 full minutes? Nope. But no team ever does (maybe Gonzaga). I would be happy with an average 32 minutes of capable ballWill this team ever put together 40 minutes of capable basketball? After laying an egg at home to a far inferior team, this is how you come out in the 1H? Absolutely inexcusable and pathetic.
They drive you to drinkin’ already??Put in Tyler at the 5 I guess
Same thing with him in! Still getting beat down by 15 at the half. Not enough touches for Kofi! He's 2-2 from the field and isn't getting the ball. No attacking the rim and people just standing around watching Curbelo dribble around the paint instead of moving to get open. Too much standing and watching, and no effort. It's ridiculous!Lmao...did you just watch the 12-0 run with Curbelo on the floor and Trent on the bench??
We are middle of the pack in BIG. Two pro players and we seldom get offensive contributions from anyone not named Kofi and Ayo. The team needs players who can score and a few more lanky players like a Liddell. Losing this game would be 2 losses in BIG at home. Take a look at our schedule on the road... I see many more losses.Welp, glad I missed the first half. Wasn't expecting this yet again, so much for this being a Final Four team, at this rate we'll be lucky to get a 12 seed or higher.
Yup.boy I thought we were past this. I mean I agree with you. But to be at this point and be “good” with 13 point deficits this year. I thought maaaybe Iowa would be the one time we’d be down this big this year.
