I retract any comments I've ever made that TJD is overrated.

And not to be a jerk, but why is Perrin wearing 25? I thought that was reserved for Simeon guys.

Thoroughly outcoached, outhustled, out-toughed, and outplayed.

That's all there really is to say.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

This is where I’m at. I think we are a ~.500 Big Ten team and higher seeded (8-10) NCAA tourney team.

True. But maybe also a final four team.

We also couldn't get anything to fall when we were taking good shots at the rim. Sometimes it be like that

Free throws though. That's ridiculous. Those should be automatic and we certainly had the opportunity at the stripe tonight

you cannot miss free throws ALL NIGHT and expect to win. Fundamental and pathetic.

The good news is we shot 44% on three pointers. The bad news... That was five points higher than our free throw percentage.

Time to adjust the expectations. Writing is on the wall for this team; very inconsistent mental focus and intensity. Not gonna happen this year.

The Illini are at a disadvantage against a team with a good point guard as they end up going uphill against a team that is getting better shots than them.

No adjustments …

Irvin would’ve won by 30 … (for those who remember)

Indiana shot 62% from the field. Considering where the shots were from it isn't that impressive.

We were 9-23 FT. Worst ever Illinois FT shooting team I can remember.

Trayce truly baptized Dain tonight. Sometimes I forget he’s a freshman, but tonight he looked like one.

Learn from it, move on.

9-23 from the line tells you how focused this team was tonight

Menu for this loss: Sit our biggest playmaker and shot blocker the last few games on the bench for most of the second half. Shoot under 50% on free throws. Have Shannon forget there are four other players on the court.

This team (and staff) are such an enigma. They look great one night, then just disappear the next night. Not sure what to expect from them on a daily basis.

All I know is that once March rolls around, it’s gonna be a roller coaster. Plus most of us will be drinking and edibleing a lot more.
