Maybe a final four is not happening this year.
Game Thread: Illinois vs Sam Houston
We are a young inexperienced team that plays like a very young inexperienced team

Such an obvious let down game
Guessing Brad will be a wee bit fiery over the intermission
Didn’t splurge for big+, glad to follow the second half from the phone I think 
Mirk back is helpful, sure, but there's more that needs fixin'!
Slow first half with lackluster rebounding, shooting, and defense. Not horrible, but no energy or motivation.
We could use a real inside presence on offense and defense.

I’m thinking he thought the game clock was the time and he had another half second to shoot.
We went from sharing and passing the ball so well, to more hero ball the last two games. I'm sure competition and the opposing defense plays into that...
This is troubling what’s going on right now. Don’t know where most of our players heads are at. We’re just not playing well, making freshman errors and decisions, and several of our guys just seem completely out of it. A bit disturbing we’re coming out this flat after a loss
Rebounds are just about even. Sam Houston pulled down 6 offensive rebounds. That was also a problem against Tech.
What an uninspiring half

Some of the takes here are killing me:
We are poorly coached
We will not make the FF
We’re playing a bunch of freshmen who just got punched in the mouth and still responded. They need to learn and grow, yes, but we are three games in for crying out loud, and missing an All-American and another team leader. R-E-L-A-X.

For all of you saying this team doesn’t look like a Top 5 team-no !!!!ing !!!!. Missing your team’s best player (in a landslide), an extremely key role piece in Jake, and relying heavily on green freshmen will do that to you. I just can’t stand how people expect teams to play every game in their final form starting from Day 1.
Jakstys works hard, gives effort, but he doesn’t look like he can even hold his own against Sam Houston.
I have not seen a regression like Z in some time. Remarkable.
That being said, expect a blitz in the second half and a 25 point+ win.
