Illinois 70, Indiana 62 Postgame
Part of that Goode thing is due to Domask spending so much time backing down, backing down ad nauseam.
He's right, since the Maryland game the rest of the league got the memo. We are getting crushed in the paint because we don't help.

You can thank the Wake Forest board during the Ayo recruitment for this gem.
In spite of Weber’s lack of recruiting prowess, he was lucky enough to land Leonard mostly because he was a small-town kid from Illinois who wanted to stay close to home. However, Weber and staff was clueless about how to coach him. Properly utilized, Myers could have been an Illini great. Instead like many, that game is my most enduring memeory of him. I knew Weber was gone at that moment.That was a bad one for sure. Or when we barely got out of the thirties to beat MSU by 1.

But for me, Worst overall game I can remember (win or lose), was the loss at Neb when Meyers cried on the bench. That was the worst I’ve watched.
Crying Illini can't believe blowout
There were tears in the locker room after Nebraska used a 36-4 run to win 80-57www.stltoday.com
It is classic. Believe it was from the Wake Forest board after we got the commitment from Ayo. They were a fun read!
(Edit) Sacraig with the win!
Not TODAY, we wouldn't. That might not even be pretty at all.
Then again, the Illini interior defense is in serious need of help. Maybe all he would need to do is just stand in the lane with his arms extended and give Illini opponents his LOOK. You know, that look of utter contempt in his eyes and 'You got no chance against me, sucker!"
That might be worth at least 20 points-plus to the Illini right there.
For some reason the IU game didn't record. I just watched on BTN in 60. Someone said that Guerrier didn't shoot. He shot just as the shot clock expired, and got fouled hard on his other 3 shots. He missed them, so the foul takes away the shot so it doesn't count against his shooting percentage. He jumped over and stopped a shot after Hawkins' man got around him. He had several rebounds and played good defense IMHO.
I was watching for the crowd to "get into it". They definitely were when the Illini were catching up and took the lead the first time. They weren't bad the second time, and of course at the end of the game.
I'll also have to catch the Peacock game later.
