I feel like he was only a couple turnovers away from a triple double

But who’s the hair brain that thought that he was the best man for the job and Tyler was, too? Think about it. How thick headed can you be?
Yep, Hamer is cutting up film of all 67 other teams right now. We'll be prepared.
Not bringing players back year over year is what creates a lack of identity. Last year was classic BU. Tough, gritty, nasty, OLD....then he overturned the entire roster because of coaching changes. It's tough to create identity when you have 7 new players every year. That needs to stop.
4 more turnovers and it would have been a triple double. :{
Respectfully; Lolololol GTFOOH with this sh*t.
Team was embarrassed in the BTT by ‘Not Duke or Auburn’.

Teams with older, athletic guards, and some decent coaching, seem to be able to game plan to get him frustrated and break Illinois offensive schemes. Then the chucking off the dribble 3's start and it seems to get contagious fast.
I honestly don’t get starting the game with Tre White on Queen, what was the point of that? I think we needed to start the two big lineup from the jump- not that anything would have mattered in this one, but it was obvious from the start we couldn’t match up with them

I’ll try to stay only positive, lol…
1. If you even assume we can string NCAAT wins together, we certainly won’t be a 5 seed now! So no 1 seed until Elite Eight.
2. Maybe this will finally convince the remaining Neanderthals who choose to ever wear our default uniforms that they should be burnt! Throwbacks every NCAAT game, period.
That’s all I got.

Well, no matter what happened tonight, we can't feel ANYWHERE NEAR as bad as a UNC fan. Talk about feeling sick.
Where did the EDG mantra go? There wasn't 80% effort out there tonight - let alone anything closely resembling what energy and grit Trent, Da'Monte, Marcus brought diving for balls, driving for contact, boxing out guys 50lb more than them, etc.
Amazing some of our so called 'fans' don't know this. Makes me wonder about the people on this forum some times.
head back into the building he would be walking home!!!Obviously we have the benefit of hindsight now, but I imagine it would have seemed pretty questionable before the game to change the starting lineup away from something that had been working well since the first Iowa game. And then if you do change it - do you start Morez in his second game back, the day after playing his first game back and only logging 12 minutes or so? Or do you start Ben and put him on Queen? And who do you take out? Everyone had been playing really well lately, I guess aside from KJ. Do you bring him off the bench for this one? If not him, then who?
In an attempt at taking away something positive: Morez played 28 minutes, so hopefully he still feels good and did not suffer any sort of setbacks or issues with his wrist - and if that is indeed the case, then the silver lining might be that at least Morez has proven that he can hold up to that workload going into the tournament.
This was supposed to be a 2 year journey for this team. We all knew this team would be young, one of the top 5 youngest team in the power conferences. The Illini have met expectations. We all know once Underwood goes young that his team don't accomplish much doing the season.
watch this video and tell me hamer aint a cornball. we arent making second weekend with him calling the D
Especially when they aren't even good players. Rice should have been very easy to shut down. Would have been fine if it were Queen.
Tre, Ben and Jake aren't the guys that HAVE to play well to win. KJ is a supposed lottery pick. Two nights in a row, he couldn't stay in front of his man on defense and his 4 to 12 assist to turnover ratio isn't going to get it done.
Yes, he he EXTREMELY soft and lose with the ball and his turnovers, more times than not, lead to layups. He's not getting the job done on either end. You don't pick out two role players when it comes to a game like this. You look to your leaders and outside of Boswell.....we don't really have any.

I get Rez hasn't practiced much, but he should've started with Tomi in the frontcourt. Having those two bigs helps you match their inside grit. Tomi did have 2 dumb fouls, but with Rez, he wouldn't have been put on an island with those two masses down low. We could've matched their bigs and put pressure on those two fellas. Atleast we got to see Davis on Queen a couple of times.
We were cutless tonight.

Torvik says tonight was our worst game of the year, by far. Even worse than the Duke game. Yeah, that checks out.
