I dunno, our guys miss a TON of open looks also.

Lets look at the game stats
Indiana didn't shoot 3 particularly well. They didn't need to - the layup line was working well.
Indiana rebounded well
passed well (assists)
Illinois shot the 3 well Boy, we should have shot more of them
Illinois was poor at free throws
Turnovers were low
Steals were up.

If you had taken your time at UoI seriously, then you would have understood x to be 8
Earlier, I had posted IL would go 8-0
This season has been great test of Brad's coaching skills
1. Did good job of reloading after graduating 4 starters
2. Good non conf wins vs UCLA and Texas
3. Good adjustments when our switching defense got exposed and five out offense misfired
4. This team is bipolar on defense and shoots way too many forced 3's
The talent is there so I am hopeful of catching lighting in a bottle and make a run in the NCAA tournament. We came close to winning at Iowa so I am hopeful that we can pull an upset at Bloomington.

The Dave Kingman approach. 442 HR, 1816 Ks.
There is usually a pregame interview with BU the day before the game, right? Did I miss it?
You didn't miss the interview but you might miss the game.
Ha! Good point. Now I'm depressed it's not Friday.
I was glad to see RJ hit that 3 pt towards the end of the game. You never know that it might get him started. Let's hope so.
Difference going into this game
1. Mayer is not sick
2. Not coming off after long stretch of games
3. Goode played well there last year
We have to make our layups

I have no idea whether this team will beat IU by 10 or lose by 20, and will not be surprised by either result.
I expect one or the other, nothing in between.

PSU wasn't a lack of effort and intensity game.It's taking longer to recharge the "I can see it happening" batteriesafter each unexplainable lack of effort and intensity game.

We have to drive the ball and attack the rim. If we settle for long shots, we are going to have a long day.
I like Goode, but I don't see him turning the tide in any game in the near future.
This is not a good matchup for us. We needed the PSU game and let one guy go Michael Jordan on us.
BTW- that has happened way too often where one guy gets hot and we have no answers and can't come up with a game plan to slow him down. I thought the strength of this team was that all 5 guys can guard multiple positions.

crying about our offense, but giving up 90 will lose 90% of games.
Pickett is a 5th year senior, and way too strong for our young guards. He bullies them down low and takes advantage of the wandering pick that is allowed these days on the outside. He is just too quick for our bigger guys. If we had a Damonte Williams to put on him (tough, physical upperclassman), he would not be such an issue.

How did the other teams in the B1G hold him down? I think its fair to say the game plan we had for him didn't work and couldn't find an adjustment.

I don't know that answer, but if you watch Mike Latulip's breakdown, he gives great insight into the issues we had in particular.

unfortunately that has played out several times this year. Rinse and repeat.
