That’s why you don’t have a freshman inbound the ball.
To me that’s all on coach.

So... Underwood called a timeout to get the ball inbounds and they throw it away....I just can't even
IT DOES NOT MATTER. Once again the officiating decided a game. That was a clean block. He didnt bump him and change his motion. He had ALL BALL.
Tired of so called great efforts and excuses for not winning we had game won and didn't execute at the end to win it has been same thing for last five years didn't execute at end of Northwestern game either same old same old
Cowan was legitimately fouled by Alstork both at the end of regulation and at the end of OT. Refs missed the first one (in our favor) and called the last one.Officiating as in the last second of the game. THAT cost us the game. Cowen got stuffed and they bailed him out.
Winning is about talent, effort and paying attention to details.
The little things killed us in consecutive close losses. Turnovers, missing free throws and a lack of execution late.
If they get the ball in, they win. If they box out, they win. If they make free throws, they win......
I'm not disheartened by this at all. The heart and effort in the second half was outstanding. Do that for 40 minutes now.
They'll be fine.

Please re-watch it, there's 0 body contact, NONE!
Some freshman played GREAT, Williams/Frazier played very well. Smith once again struggled. Tejon made a bone head play with 30 sec left, but that did not cost us the game.
What annoyed me even more than the inbound turnover was that completely unnecessary alley oop attempt. When you’re up 1 with little time left that’s not a risk you take. Really was the most Illinois game ever.
Really hope Smith gets going soon. Hopefully his confidence doesn’t suffer-he’s such a great talent, we’re a different team if he plays to his potential.
That lob from Tejon, couldn't get the ball inbounds, missed free throws, miss goaltending call, lots of reasons they couldn't close out. They fought but thing that should have never happened was getting blown out in the first half.

My goodness. This thread is crazy. There was so much improvement in offensive sets in OT from just 2 days ago. I am walking away from this a lot less angry than everyone else
