2 fouls on amori

Surely our staff and players are realizing that we are scoring when we drive to the paint, right?? Like, I’m sorry, guys - NONE OF YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOOD THREE POINT SHOOTERS! 
It might be different in the building but the energy from the crowd has not been coming through on tv this year
2nd foul on Omoruyi. That is very very big. Gotta take advantage of it
Dainja is having his way down there keep getting it to him
0 for 6 from the arc. Keep firing. Rutgers needs to set some records.
Goode back in and still no RJ
Nah, crowd is quieter than you'd expect to hear at high school girls Freshman B squad match thus far
As bad as we have played. Only down 6 with 7 to go

Someone needs to show Krush a video of the Izzone or Purdue’s section or Rutgers’ section. I’ll always love the Krush, but this is a WEAK performance. Go watch an old game from circa 2000-2006, and they’re jumping up and down every defensive stretch. 
Not sure if that’s a generational thing or what, but great fans don’t react to the product on the court … an elite home court environment AFFECTS the game and helps spur the team on.

One has to wonder. If it seems so apparent to the majority of us , why don't we just pound it in there till they show some ability to stop it? Too much effort required? Ego thing? Puzzling.Surely our staff and players are realizing that we are scoring when we drive to the paint, right?? Like, I’m sorry, guys - NONE OF YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOOD THREE POINT SHOOTERS!
It’s not possible that we are losing during the great white hope’s return. Must be that the refs, Bardo, Lunardi and all recruiting ranking services hate us and are in on the conspiracy.

Let me guess Rutgers offense - every play. Let set a pick at the key, roll to the bucket, and let the guard get a good 6-8 runner. Fight over the screen or make them call a foul one damn time
Don’t wanna sound like an old man, but that the Krush sits down during timeouts is WEAK AFSomeone needs to show Krush a video of the Izzone or Purdue’s section or Rutgers’ section.

Would not be at all disappointed if Illini never shot another three without the ball first being touched by a player in the paint and kicked out.
We started out so well, up 4-0 with two good shots going to the basket, then settled for a three on the next possession which ended up going back the other way for points. That seems to happen all too often for this team. Not only does the three point shooting kill our offense, but it often leads to offense on the other end.Soo many threes for a team that doesn't shoot it well.

What makes it even more frustrating is that (unlike Kofi), Dain is relatively great at passing out of the post! If we’re going to jack up a three, can we at least feed the post first?!
Finally.....someone figured out the irrefutable facts!!!!!
