Don't most of these guys work multiple conferences?
Illinois 87, Nebraska 84 OT Postgame
Been thinking about this too and 100% agree we need to push tempo more. Some of the best we looked all year was the game where Moretti got hurt, and before his injury, we were FLYIN' again!

Domask is the one person I want to see on the floor.
I feel like I'm the Orange Krush police after home games, but this video perfectly encapsulates what drives me nuts about the Krush:
10 seconds left in OT. We desperately need a stop to seal a win. The woman in the middle is the only person going crazy and making noise the entire time. Everyone else in the shot either freezes or basically does a golf clap.
Every. Single. Krush. Fan. should be going absolutely bonkers and creating as much noise as possible. That noise and craziness will make it that much harder on our opponents. It's baffling how they don't and it makes me sad/mad.

I agree. It’s incredible how we got so many layups once that extra pass on the dribble drive was made, including by Domask. It’s hard on him because he’s wired to shoot but a minor mental adjustment would help us a lot.
But it would be better for someone else to bring it up. Not sure we have it this year though

Typically, I would agree- But when all 5 on the floor run out of steam and give up a 10 point lead in the last 3 minutes of play, a timeout and substitution or two could have stemmed the tide.
I've been pretty critical of the Krush but I do want to give them props for their performance last night. Almost felt like they had read this board because from the outset they were pretty loud (while the rest of the crowd was absolutely zonked) and they had a few organized chants which made a big difference in the atmosphere. Hope they keep that up!
You're not wrong though. I think there was just so much raw nervous energy the last 7 minutes of game time that took the Krush out of their rhythm a little bit. Good on that girl for bringing it til the final buzzer sounded though.
So sorry for your loss.This win is for my big brother (74) who I lost this morning to a heart attack, the guy who initiated my passion for all things Illini. He’s the reason I went to Illinois as he was a senior when I was a freshman. There ya go, Charlie! This one’s for you!
Harmon or Domask should be getting the ball in those situations

I agree. Let’s get to the FF and win a National Championship for CharlieI want to thank you all, my IllinoisLoyalty famILLy, for your kind words and support. This may be a small anonymous internet community, but I really feel the heartfelt sincerity of almost 200 of my Illini brothers and sisters, and I am overwhelmed by the kindness and compassion so many of you have shown. @Dan, I want to thank you for creating such a wonderful forum. It is truly special. @skyIdub , I want to thank you for this post. Again, I’m so sorry about the loss of your “Bro.” The thought has crossed my mind that maybe, just maybe, Charlie, can help direct an Illini NC run with the same result…I’m going to pour myself one tonight and toast to that hope as well.
And they got our C- team. We got lucky, esp with that sketchy inbound.

And I'll happily trade the occasional oopsy at the line for the 2+ offensive rebound a game that he's averaging for the year.

I see this game how I see a good scramble team making par on the #1 handicap hole.
You probably don't gain anything....but you also probably don't lose anything. You usually can't make a bogey and win a scramble.
We made a par. After shanking our tee shot into the water on 18.

It's Evan Miya that tracks it. We average 0.77 kill shots per game (17 total) and we allow 0.32 per game (7 allowed).
Michigan State has allowed just one all year.
I'm still wondering about the picture of Hamer and how it affects our defense. Also, how many wall sits did he have to do today after calling a timeout?
I hope OUR A-team fares better than this one . ^…….In 5 seasons they shot constantly and never hit anything.Let's just go ahead and play our A-Team for the rest of the season, okay?

I think you make a good point about shooting threes. By your measure, we got cooked. We were very lucky to win.
I thought the opposite- if both teams shoot their average percentage, we win by 15-20 points. We whooped them in every phase of the game except shooting the basketball (which is a pretty important part, don't get me wrong, but I think if lady luck was in the building on Sunday... she was obviously a Nebraska fan).
You're not really disagreeing with me.Seems like we're on the same page.
