Or any other night this year, except Evansville picked near bottom of mvc. The coach is not adjusting his plan to fit his talent.
How do you expect players to buy into a new system if the coach abandons the system 4 games into the season. Lol.

This is obviously not a site for Illini fans. I hope no recruits ever come here. Reading the posts on here is as bad as listening to Bill Walton.
Would you prefer they play bad competition?
No excuse. I just don't understand the expectations of some of you guys here. It's 8 new guys, an undersized team and every team in this tourney is more experienced, and more athletic. If our Illini aren't completely cued in, which is a lot to ask for a sophomore/frosh team, this is what will happen for most of the season.
Xavier is not tough competition. They’re under .500 and not going to make the tournament...not to mention they’re rebuilding and young. That’s our excuse anyway...
I expect them to say that there are some really good pieces in place. There is finally some hope that things are going in the right direction. I think this is the first time I've ever posted. I remember years ago a UNC fan used to troll this site under a few usernames. The posters here are worse than he was.I'm just curious, what do you expect fans of a program watching this to be saying right now?
Once again, on the coach. Don't run off/have so many players transfer last year. Recruit players fewer players who are projects. Get the kids to be mentally involved. Run a competent defense. All things that are in a coach's control.
Encouraged by what? Glimpses of what?This. This is what I am talking about. Young team playing tough competition for the 3rd game in a row. I have been very encouraged. I have been very frustrated. But you can see glimpses and that is what I am watching for.
They're projected to go 15-16. Theyre 2-3 and not good as that poster said.They are not that bad.
It is so hard to wear UI gear right now.
Trent Frazier hero ball is going to win us an out of nowhere game and get us from 8 wins to 9 wins.Encouraged by what? Glimpses of what?
I'd like to know what you've seen these three days that will make anyone believe this team is heading in the right direction. I'm being sincere.
Lol don't run off players? You don't get hired and then change your coaching style. You're hired because of your coaching style.
You can only recruit people who want to be here. You need to win first, and that's going take a few years.
So much instant gratification entitlement on this board...
It’s great you are so diplomatic, but your sentiment is likely very much an exceptionLol don't run off players? You don't get hired and then change your coaching style. You're hired because of your coaching style.
