We shot like crap and the basically played 5 vs 8 and had a chance. No need to hang your head on this loss. Might even be good for them. Let's get the next one.

The bright side, I guess, is that the Illini still scored 82 despite MSU fouling every single time the Illini took the ball inside the 3-point line.
Did anyone else feel Wagler looked very tired?
Tough but it happens. On to the next one.
Yes, they did. Our star player shot 1 of flippin' 15, we shot 10 of 36 from three and we got out rebounded by 11.
The foul differential was minimal. We actually shot more free throws.
This is how we lost games last year. More than 50% of our shots were three point attempts and we made less than 30%. None of that is a formula for winning, ESPECIALLY on the road.
We need to be better and with regards to Keaton, his game needs to mature. You can't get the bulk of the shots if you're shooting the ball that terribly.

Except they didn't. Davis certainly didn't.
What timeout did we have to call?
They can still help us out by beating scUM. I know who I'm rooting for in that game 
I don’t think a TO necessarily would have helped there and I think they were out of them. Just wish Jake or Keaton had taken it.
Izzo says he proved his true colors
“what you went through”… Steve Smith - I defended your homer-ness early in the game, but I was wrong
Yeah that's not ok

They came out and outrebounded the tallest team in America, credit to them.
Would have loved to see more zone tonight.
The one guy on their team that could beat us, beat us, because we allowed him to penetrate. Force Fears to shoot. He has zero confidence with his outside shot.

We average like 12 fouls a game and get 21 tonight. I wonder why?
One of the absolute worst officiated Illinois game I've seen.
