Hate this lineup on the court now.
Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue
- Status
Nothing worse than watching careless turnovers and missed wide open looks.
We are falling in love with the 3 - missed ones
Purdue going to let us shoot open threes all night. Gotta make them
Our guards are being absolutely abused. Yikes.
Wondering if any player of coach has had enough of Smith shooting unguarded layups?

I really, really hate losing to insufferable gnome Braden Smith.
It's like we've watched two different games already of 5 mins each. I don't like the second one

Getting zero offensive rebounds so far
We definitely don't need to take those when we struggle hitting the open ones
As soon as we start jacking threes things go south

Positives
- Great energy.
- Crowd is great and actually looks ORANGE on TV, like the good old days. Seriously, will people stop wearing literally gray Illini shirts to games?!
- Other than Kylan’s absurd three, pretty good shot selection.
Negatuves
- High knees … GOD, he’s bad.
- Jerseys … seriously, who picks this? They need admitted, lol. I won’t hear any “good juju from the Michigan” game BS, either. We haven’t followed a pattern like that all year!
- It’s annoying how comfortable opponents seem playing basketball in our gym. They seem comfortable shooting, and they never seem that rattled by our crowd. And refs never seem to be swayed by our crowd like they are when we’re playing at Purdue, MSU and even frickin’ Iowa with their crap atmosphere.
- This team is still WAY too casual with the damn ball. Good teams don’t let silly turnovers happen, period … and I want us to be a good team!!
Let’s get a win.

Here we go again with this horrendous shooting.
And what on earth is our defense with Smith???

KJ needs to cut to the hoop without the ball once in a while. Good God, they are overplaying the !!!! of you!
Unfortunately they are just smarter and better coached than we are this season.

We play incredibly stupid
Looking more like layup drills.

They’re letting us take them because they know we can’t make (many of) them, though…
