This is like a repeat of last year. Down the stretch Nunn disappears. Really hope Nunn can fix this next season. It's his last shot.

Is the will still there? Yes.
Is the fight still there? Yes
Is the coaching there? No

Just don't think we should ever lose to NU, PSU, and NW in the same season...if ever, period.

Really, really want to hear Groce say that the results this season are unacceptable. Injuries have had a huge impact but it is more than that.

MH was fantastic. Half of our points despite being the focal point of PSU's D. Anyone who says he's not a team leader doesn't know a thing about leadership.

At least we're not ending the season losing to Northwestern.. .. right?

Team shows heart again.
Didn't quit when down double digits in 2nd half.
I don't know what's happened to KN the last several games, but he just hasn't been the same player.
Great game by Hill....obviously.
Wouldn't have got to OT without the tremendous play of Lewis down the stretch.

I can't believe Groce missed multiple wide open threes in second OT. :(

bunch of single digit losses this year that would more than likely have changed with a somewhat healthy roster.

Click to expand...

The only coaching criticism I have is the continuation of the 15-18 foot game winning attempts that we settle for. That has to change.

Other than that, we got plenty of open looks today, they didn't drop. It's difficult to fault coaches for not making open looks.

Nice offensive effort by Hill today. Hill is the best player on the losingest team (tied) in 110 years or so of Illinois basketball.

I like the way Lewis stepped up though, and I think MH will be BIG POY next year, if not this year.

Name any team in College Bball you want. You take away their projected starting 1, 4 and 5 and this is the type of season you would have (blue bloods included.)
