Officiating aside, we looked like we had no plan for that game.

We need to run an actual offense. Pound it down low. Do some offensive rebounding. And KJ needs to shoot some 3s. We have had terrible shot selection.

Easier said than done against this defense. But guys need to move without the ball. Cut. Set screens. Get yourself open and make your defender hesitate. Too many guys watching in the corners while KJ and WR dribble all over the place. Tennessee defenders able to sink and cut off driving lanes because we’re not keeping them honest

No more sloppy hail Mary shots hoping to draw a foul

And this is a great summary...can't be the best we have. Team ball is about creating better shots for your teammate or taking the best one that provided to you.

I think they will allow a couple of guys to shoot. KB and BH. Let's see if we can exploit that fact.

Also, adjust to how the game is being called, please. And please don't start calling it differently.

Yeah this is a joke. Fouls called on the dumbest things. Any fan would agree this is just not enjoyable to watch. B1G needs to get their officiating under control.

There needs to be far fewer fouls called way away from the basket and on drives. If you want to call obvious shooting fouls then you have to call those. Not being set on a screen or, some of the contact when a guy goes over a screen shouldn’t be called. If dudes drive into traffic they shouldn’t get bailed out on contact on the dribble

Lot of whining about the # of fouls called. What I see is two teams wanting to play physical-on our face defense and the zebras determined to make it about skills and not brawling. My only disappointment was some really poor turnovers by Kaspar. Otherwise, a battle between two talented teams...and the Illini can win this one.

Ok, Hum, our best defenders, gives up the bucket in the paint. And then takes a gawd awful 3! WTF!!!!!

Thank you KB
