Can we go one thread without blaming the Refs
Welp ... I’ll be there. Hope we can at least get a lot of orange in the stands so I can hang my hat on that?
The shot chart doesn’t show it, but it wasn’t all uncontested layups like we have seen in other games. We were over powered by their superior strength and athleticism. I think RL could have driven and scored every possession if he wanted to. We had no answer for him.Here is what I said last game, “Here’s my prediction for the next game. One-on-one offense with everyone standing around, dunk city for the IU, and another Illini loss.”
Here was their shot chart.

I think I will just ditto that prediction for the next game.

Also, on the radio (think it was Altenburger (sp?)) repeated often that there is no help, by design, along the base line. The defense is expected to funnel RL to the middle. The defenders (AJ?) repeatedly failed to do so. The kids are not following the script.

And did you see JM just man-handle GB in the post? GB is not small or week and JM just pushed him around for that bunny. That's a senior vs a freshman.
Not sure.
BU stated that the kids were told it will be a RL second half. The kids were supposed to deny him the ball. They did not (as a team).
