[QUOTE="Ol Dirty Gamer, post: 1438286, member: 618806"] It looks pretty classless for the Illini fanbase to talk down about TU for getting playing time over other players. Does he not practice and go to class just like the other players too?? You’re all frustrated because we’re losing and our team is terrible, and projecting it on a student athlete. If we were at 10-11 wins no one would care who were getting what minutes at this point. Some of you need to step away from the keyboard. I agree that BU needs to play his talent, but guess what; this team barely has any. Let’s be honest with ourselves. None of the freshmen are consistent enough to be reliable game to game, they all lack any defensive instincts, and sometimes look like they’re way out of their element in games. Playing AG or SK more wouldn’t have changed the result of the game, because the team allowed a turd of a Mizzpoo team to shoot 52% from the field. That’s the teams fault, and not because AG sat more than TU. This season is going to be a throwaway season where the coach is going to teach some of these guys lessons, and hopefully the players of the future respond well and pick things up as they go. If they can’t handle it and transfer then oh well, I don’t see any of them really playing at a B1G level right now. If transfers cause the team to be in a downward turn then coach will be next to go, so be it. All in all, i’m pretty ashamed to see the fanbase crap on one of our student athletes. [/QUOTE]
