Give me back my Afta, heh heh
Ayo's tremendous game and Damonte's brilliance could not overcome Kips goofs.

Yes. And we didn't. this is a building season. We're not a good team right now. But we knew that going in. Take it and move to the next one.

Nice to see athleticism back on the court for the first time in years but I just can’t figure out where Kipper mentally goes.

Of course youd like to come away with a win but wow that was an exciting game all around. Entertainment factor of a 10. The last minute was frustrating, but oh well. This season should be a good one, I think we already look like a pretty good team!

1 pt, 0-4 overall, 0-3 from 3pt... so basically nothing.
There aren't many good options at the 4. Hopefully Tevian, eventually, but I think he's still too green. Need AJ or Kipper to step up big time for any sustained success against average/good teams.
I just wish we would go up and dunk, not continuously layup and get blocked. Dunks at SFC are a rarity, for the O&B, but always blow the roof off.
Also, that 8 point Kipper brain fart swing hurt.

Lack of athleticism still shows. I don’t think we had one dunk. They had countless.
Agree Kippers lack of hustle created a huge momentum swing for Georgetown no excuse for it seen it before from him unfortunately as an upperclassmen and supposed team leader needs to play hard all the time
Can someone please explain our defensive strategy? It appears to be, collapse to the ball when it enters the paint and leave your man open for the dunk. Over and over again.

Depends on whether you mean building our program, or the W/L record of other programs.

Two games, and this team has proven to not be able to defend in either one. Until this changes, they'll continue to struggle to be consistently good.
Tell the players to quit making dumb fouls 50 feet from the basket and maybe it will become watchable for you. Refs have to call those. They are stupid fouls.
Sucks to lose and I hate moral victories, but I haven’t had that much fun watching Illini basketball in a LONG time.
This team can really get out and run. Love the hustle by the young guys.
Ayo is a stud and Giorgi really looks good. Kipper will likely be frustrating most of the year.

There is athleticism outside of dunks. Counting dunks is just... dunks.
Kipper just made losing play after losing play in winning time. Can’t overcome that.
I get why people will want to pile on to KN bc those plays were pretty memorable, but Feliz airballed 2 wide open threes (yes he had some huge plays later) and AJ going for 1 point is a problem.
Really had to have it given our schedule, just a killer

"I can't tell you. Secret."
4 or 5 wins in the B1G. If that's your idea of better in the long run.
Anybody that thinks we don't need a solid Kipper making smart plays is clueless.
How do you play him after that? Let alone not even take him out.

Lack of athleticism? Yeah, maybe we were watching different games.
we were outrebounded significantly and they shot 55%. I don't buy the Kipper blame game spewed all over on this thread.
