Kylan Guardswell, ladies and gentlemen…

9am Pacific for USC. No excuse.

Don’t care. Ban it.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Better defender: Boswell or Trent?

If the crowd was any more comatose in this one, it'd be a decomposed corpse. Does everyone in the crowd have laryngitis? Quietest I've ever heard Assembly Hall

They are taking their cue from the team

This was my fear as everyone was talking about how bad USC "is." Better wake up or our Oregon win gets erased today.

 

[Fighting I 95]

This sucks.

 

[TheodoreRex]

What an absolutely miserable no good awful start.

 

[Jimbo]

USC will be tired due to a 2 hour time change. They have had 7 different starting lineups but lately they are relying on Wes Yates who is hitting 3’s and he can also break down the defense on a drive so we have to limit him. We have to win the rebounding game and if so - Illini by 38.

I’ll take the points.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

No KJ evident early... Tre White out of control... offense very sluggish.

 

[BDMAN]

Damn it from the CBS game cast we are getting toasted!!!

 

[sacraig]

Southern Cal looks much better than I expected.

Us giving them a bunch of free, wide open shots hasn't helped.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Morez is being torched. Can't guard the perimeter. Boswell's shot selection should have him on the bench. This was a predictable situation.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Does anyone still think we are better without KJ? This is what i feared against penn st.

 

[blife]

F'ing terrible start. USC can't miss, Go figure

 

[Illiniam1984]

We don’t look good today.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Getting clowned by a bunch of slow dudes taking set shots

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Kylan is screwing the pooch right now. You need your leader to make good choices out there. When your leader jacks up 40 foot threes that aren't his shots, the rest of the team drops their heads. He needs to step up and lead out there and that means showing guys composure...leading by example.

Agee 2 for 8 from 3 coming into today. Time is a flat circle

 

[Fighting I 95]

Someone needs to wake everyones tired a** up. Lackluster play on both ends.

 

[SummerofGeorge]

Long season, young kids, we were due for a game like this. Find a way to win today and fix things before big games next week. Confident we will turn it around and find a way today.

The sky's still up there.
