I believe we looked at Claude in the portal. His name was definitely thrown around here back in April. He seems to be making it personal today. Super motivated.

What I am not understanding is this line up.. We should go big and zone... They aren't shooting they are just owning the paint... yet we have our smallest line up on the floor..Morez should just sit in the paint and guard

Yeah, this doesn't feel like our day, but I wonder if this is another one where the staff gets tunnel vision. Subbing just stops.

USC took 14 threes, Illinois 27. That's a 13 possession difference where KB or someone else could've aggressively driven to the rim and either dump it to the big man or earn some free-throws.

the answer is we're not dominating the rebounds. We're not great shooters. When we shoot well, we blow people out. When we shoot normal, it's our rebounding that gets us extra chances, and leads to the wins.

I’m stunned by the utter lack of will from this team. I thought they were beginning to understand the focus and defensive intensity necessary to win. They’ve sleepwalked the entire game, showing no urgency.

Young teams sometimes have games like this, especially on a sleepy Saturday afternoon. This is simply one of those games. It really really really doesn't help that this is the worst crowd I've ever witnessed at Assembly Hall, and I am not being hyperbolic. Sometimes fans can provide a charge when players can't, and the fans today have offered nothing from the opening tip

Getting clowned by a garbage team will do that but yeah crowd has been completely MIA

Everyone settle down. First, it’s a game. Second, it’s not over. Third, USC is better than their record. Plus, it’s not over yet.

They woke up. It will almost certainly not be enough to win, but might make it close.

Claude keeps getting to Johnson free and clear. Our on ball D has been a joke today.

Looks like I got lucky having to attend my 5th graders basketball game instead of watching this. Still time for a comeback…but woof. Looks like a rough one so far.
