I wanna dislike TJD. I really really do. But unfortunately, he continues to show he’s a pretty good dude

SportsCenter highlighted the Coleman T on social and it's nice to see that the objective sports world a) thought the dunk was nasty b) thought the refs missed the and 1 and c) thought the T was a complete joke.
You really nailed it.
Just focus on the uniform. The hate comes easy.
A whole lot of doom and gloom by some posters here. I would have been elated to get this win, but man, this team played a heck of a game, given the circumstances. I'm feeling lightyears better after this loss than @PSU.
It seems their new coach has lit a fire under him. He is playing with much more effort this year.
Also, after watching the slow motion replay of said play, TJD fouled Hawkins twice and the refs chose not to call either one.
Earlier I said that tech really wasn't in my top 5 reasons we lost the game. But I dont know. It's a 3 point swing in what was ultimately a 3 point game.

You should watch coach's presser.
There’s a lot to be optimistic about going forward. We’ve really figured out the right defensive lineups and Goode already is having impact minutes. Get TSJ back soon and we should be really hitting our stride.
I’m less worried about the result of this game and more frustrated by the fact that if this team had consistently come out with the kind of intensity we saw today, they be about 22-4 and on their way to a #1 seed in the Tourney.
The Illini didn't hit a 3 point shot (0-8) in the second half.
Just finished watching the second half (swim meet season is a pain).
Did the officials cost us the game? No. Did they suck as bad as a college crew can suck? Pretty close.
That was a helluva game. I have no complaints about how we played at all. A made bunny here or there and the outcome is different.

Apologies, got distracted when typing the sentence you were quoting, and it makes sense you took it that way. You are absolutely correct. I meant it as time to regroup and beat teams like Minnesota etc
Name does not check out
A "L" is a "L" is a "L".
This is a very young team with a "transfer" heavy starting 5, but they are way too inconsistent and hesitant when it really counts. Starting the season by beating Texas and UCLA showed how good they could be, but they never got back to that level of play consistently. Losing Skyy Clark no doubt hurt, but Epps has admirably stepped up.. I want them to go deep into the tournament, but something always winds up derailing them from closing out games. They're running out of time to get things "fixed". Sure hope they do.

This game is a tale of two halves,we looked like world beaters in in the first half and not so much in the second half.At think we’re 6-6 from the line in the first half but missed bunch of free throws in the second.

Exhibit A.....terrible T call on cohawk for NOTHING...
Exhibit B.....missed call on ball clearly going off Galloways leg in 1st half.....l
Exhibit C.....race Thompson clearly hacked cohawk on the arm and pushed him down which gave tjd an easy bucket at the end of the first half.......
That's just the 1st half and gave the loosiers at least 7 free points.....
Great game by the Illini ,especially with TSJ not available
Poor game by inept B$G refs once again...
It really really really really was.....
4 games in 9 days.
0-1 now , where will the Illini be at the end of this stretch of games.....
LETS GO ILLINI !!!!!!
Haha! Along the lines of what Hummel said, if we're an 11, the 6 seed is going to be screaming to high heaven about how they got shafted having to play us in the first round.
felt the same way about Garza. wanted to dislike him but seemed like a humble class act every time I saw him interviewed

Quadruple really! I’m more than a bit worried about your stress levels. Please get plenty of rest and NLs
He's a baller for sure. Can't hate him really, just a really good player. I liked it more when we had Kofi against him though.
3 point swing right there

Thanks bro for the concerns.....I took my meds and had a romp in the hay with NL # 3 and then a nap.
..I'm good....onto Monday and righting the Illini battleship
Was at the game (My first time at Indiana).... Tough loss.
The crowd was what I would describe as nervous. The Indiana fans around me started the game with enthusiasm, it waned, and didn't get rolling again until the final minute or so.
Embarrassing moment for me: On CoHawk's dunk to put us up 9, I saw a T called and thought it was on IU. I stood up and yelled: "Woooooo!!! Yeah!!!!" pumping my fist in the air. Then realized it was on Hawkins. Doh!
Only had a couple snide remarks from Hoosier fans, probably because of my bright orange hoodie.
But overall, the experience was good (loss notwithstanding).
I told my buddies before the game we'd need 7 three's to win. We had 6 at half. Never got our 7th. RJs miss..... Man 'o man. Looked good from our angle. So hoping it would drop as walking out of there would have been soooo glorious. Oh well.
