Indiana 65, Illinois 63 Postgame

Illini8420 · Mar 11, 2022

Well at least we get more rest until the big dance

KnoxIllini2 · Mar 11, 2022

Make free throws and stop Galloway from going right and we win this.

suburbanILLINI · Mar 11, 2022

Andre should NOT be playing in crunch time. He hasn't earned it this season. Hopefully he'll be back to 100% next year

the juiceman cometh · Mar 11, 2022

Well, looks like a 4-seed it shall be.

TarheelIllini · Mar 11, 2022

Glad we are out of Indy. No one got injured. Learned a lesson about not being tougher than the opponent.

BRucks · Mar 11, 2022

Smart move by Jackson to miss that FT

Illini Farmer · Mar 11, 2022

Hope we didn’t lose out on Milwaukee for 1st/2nd round

GraingerDanger · Mar 11, 2022

this means they won’t do this in the tournament again right?

New Creation · Mar 11, 2022

plummer... takes horrible shots all game.. and then under a minute left with a wide open lead to go ahead.. with 3 seconds on the shot clock ....he passes it..

FloridaMan · Mar 11, 2022

Well, I don't mind losing in the B10 tournament, but would definitely have preferred to lose tomorrow. Probably solidifies us as a 4 seed which is not ideal. More concerning is our continued inconsistent, poor play. Just don't think this team has a 6 game run in them. Happy to be wrong though.

We have to strike some kind of balance between threes and driving for baskets. Hopefully, our freshmen and incoming recruits are better at doing that because we do not possess the ability this year.

aaeismacgychel · Mar 11, 2022

This one hurts. Welp, we're a 4 or a 5 seed now and not playing in Milwaukee/Chicago. Not good

Sawicky · Mar 11, 2022

DMW going 0-0 is a problem. He had a lot of open looks today that he just passed out of. He is a super senior. He can take some shots!!

I hope the extra rest and practice helps with the NCAA tournament. FTs and Rebounding need to be worked on a lot.

WeWillWhen · Mar 11, 2022

Belo and Plummer’s shooting was terrible today. Get some shots up this weekend and get that confidence back.

DICKnaggie · Mar 11, 2022

Too many scoring draughts, too many missed free throws, too many terrible, predicatbale passes. Very remeniscent of some of our early season performances.

That is a bad loss. No other way to look at it.

I have to find the silver lining. Perhaps it will serve as a reality check

TooHot4Tots · Mar 11, 2022

For a veteran team, they are mentally challenged. The terrible shooting is pathetic.

PassingBy · Mar 11, 2022

Bye bye Milwaukee or Chicago

SouthFarmLlama · Mar 11, 2022

Belo is not elite. Missed tons of free throws and bad decision making. I'm really looking forward to the other guards competing for playing time next year. I'm so tired of the sloppy play.

JJE · Mar 11, 2022

Running out of gas during the worst time of the year.

SuperMetroid · Mar 11, 2022

Whatever. Get some rest, get healthy and show up for the dance. This program has gone waaaayyy too long without a Sweet 16.

I thought he was going to miss the first tbh

4 seed, rest up and get ready for the big dance.

Or 5... and a vulnerable 4 or 5 at that.

Well, even if this knocks us from a 4 seed to a 5, the days off may be worth it. No difference between a 4 and 5.

But this shooting has to be better or we will lose to anybody.

Pretty sure the 5-12 upset is way more frequent than the 4-13 upset.

BigMuddyMonster · Mar 11, 2022

Completely fitting that the game was sealed by a missed layup. Missed layups, dunks, and an absolutely terrible showing at the line.

Hawkins is the only silver lining.

IllinistuckinGopherland · Mar 11, 2022

First choice: win the BTT
Second choice: check out early and bring fresh legs next week
