Bummer. Much less of a disappointment than the Maryland game though.
As for missed layups, I struggle to call some of those misses "lay-ups". There needs to be different classifications for lay-ups and contested bank shots/up and unders. Yes, they are close shots. But that doesn't mean they are easy under different circumstances.

We just made some people happy by making their game against northwestern a more highly rated game. Darn it.
That was actually a very good game. Entertaining and competitive all the way. The stats are going to say that we missed a lot of layups, but we also put up a lot of tough layups.
But at the end of the day I HATE losing to the Mildcats.

Exactly. I’m so tired of Brad calling “Missed Layup”. That play sucks.
F’ing embarrassing. Not one adjustment from Brad on defense tonight. Lots of missed bunnies and dumb choices in crunch time on O but ultimately this came down to defense.
Not one to complain about coaching, but really don’t like the way Brad handles minutes tonight.
Ty shut down Boo Buie in the first match up and then he doesn’t play the last 18 plus minutes of the game.
Just a dismissal effort defensively.

you could say the same about our defense...Ty Berry =
Some of the Core 7 looked like they were running out of gas at the end of regulation (Quincy especially)
That's not happening short of running the table. We don't have one really significant win and there aren't a ton of opportunities left on the schedule. The MD game is going to be an anchor around the neck.
Probably looking at anywhere between 4-7. This was a golden opportunity for a true road win and missed it.

Things I noticed when Illinois loses under BU
1. We miss layups that we normally make
2. The other team prevent us from Getting into transition
3 The other team is able to play a physical game without getting called for holds or moving screens

Ty Berry said something
Brad talked to Berry after handshake line
I don’t support fighting, but our squad would level every single one of those *****. I’d pay to watch Berry v Hawkins in the title fight.
When we are good, we are really good. But we just have stretches where we are bad. We missed layups, and bad D let NW feel way too comfortable. We have too many possessions that we just do not value. In a game like tonight they all counted, and we had too many empty ones. Hats off to them tho, they were hitting everything. They wanted it more, for some reason. TJ probably gonna take a couple weeks to get back. May have to limit his minutes in away games, unfortunately.

Great Big 10 game. I don’t understand tactically why Illinois allowed Buie to beat them. Maybe a better coach than I can explain.
Anyone see what happened between Coleman and Ty Berry after the buzzer?
Annoying to lose, but it took YET ANOTHER herculean effort from Northwestern to get that home win, and I thought we played pretty meh all game and still had the game-winning shot attempt. A lot of small things we can poke holes in with our team / effort tonight, but they made shots on their home court and we missed shots on the road. I don’t know — we’re the better team, and it stings to lose, but this Northwestern team feels like one of those Rutgers teams of years past that’s like 11 or 12 points better at home than away from home.
Yeah I had a bad feeling once the game went into OT especially on the road and the way the final minutes in regulation went. They had momentum going into OT.
Coach played him too much too

And yet, they had a shot to win it. Domasks shot was the game, and it was a reasonable one. Too bad he couldn't put it in.
Hopefully we can learn from the Bouie drive and drop off to Lurch because that is exactly what that little fart Smith will do when we play Purdue
TSJ got torched on a few possessions by Boo as well, including their last one in regulation.
