miles dread is now on my most punchable face list

has MM. made a three this game?

 

[Illini231]

Underwood is a bad coach and I'm tired of pretending that he isn't

This team can’t even put together a good 40 minutes. And we expect them to put together 6 straight quality games starting next week?

We can if the other team forfeits.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Meyer looks not excited to shoot for the first time ever.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Yeah. Totally excusable to leave funk open with three seconds on the shot clock.

 

[azillini1]

Just not built for March!

 

[Jimbo]

Good let’s be a 10 seed

I agree. Losing this might get off the 8/9 line.

NO
I think he's like 1-20 lately

I have thought that for 3 years but ........................

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Well hopefully we do better in the tournament

The BTT was supposed to be the start of our time because it's how this team was out together. It's disappointing, but this is what 2022-2023 gave us. With 32 games down, flipping the switch in #33....don't put money on it.

I hate it when Mm starts chucking. Dude, stop.

Hello Portal my old friend

 

[Zorak]

Kinda done with this season tbh. What have we shown the past month that makes us think we are any kind of 2nd weekend team.

I'm now actively hoping this team misses the tournament because I don't want to watch them play anymore

He's done exactly what you'd expect your Proven Winner to do out there in an elimination game.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

But he’s just kept winning more games than anyone else in the conference?

 

[CleverHandle1]

Chip on shoulder Fighting Illini isn't very good at all. No more chips on shoulder. This team doesn't even deserve a 9th seed.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Big picture, this game really means very little to us vs everything for PSU...we are where we are 8/9 range. I will say that as games have come and gone, it's been the same mistakes late, by the same couple of guys. That's disappointing, but it's also bringing in seniors via the portal.

Well it should mean something to play for a B10 title

4 of 17 from 3 and 50% from the free throw line. never seen a team this offensively challenged.

 

[Bigtex]

Just not built for March!

Not sure what the team is built for

 

[BBIQ]

Sad we still can't run an offense this late in the season.

4-17 from 3, too many turnovers, and missing too many freebies. Sounds familiar.

Close up the computer, take a breath, have a beer and come back tomorrow with a clearer head.

 

[Icy veins]

I agree. Losing this might get off the 8/9 line.

Unfortunately I think it solidifies us as a 9
