Completely agree. I think some in here would prefer being 6-0 against cupcakes just to feel good about themselves. These games will pay dividends down the road #clubkathyMan, even though we aren't seeing the wins I love the early season schedule with all of these big name teams. When conference play comes around there won't be anything we haven't seen.
At this point, I'll be happy if Tyler isn't listed in the final box score. He brings nothing another guard we have on the team doesn't (and is especially frustrating considering the others we have on the roster).
I've convinced myself it's BU essentially saying he gets the type of game, so he's playing him over others, but I care zero for that type of thinking. No, he hasn't been dreadful, but he certainly isn't a shooter and is below every other guard we have in terms of defending.
In that game, even with foul trouble, their were other, better options. He was in against ISU when the game was still within reach. Those are questionable decision, regardless. The GT one might have changed the outcome of that game. Sorry, but it's a talking about because it isn't a) a one-off error, or b) insignificant.He's played 2 meaningful minutes all season, at the end of the half vs Gtown when we were in foul trouble and just trying to survive until the half. I don't really even know why it's a talking point.

I would have thought so as well.ND -5, seems a tad low?

offensively ok...defensively needs a lot of workI like Samba game. More please.
Hoping like crazy for a win....preparing for a loss.
I would be buying all you’re selling, but I was very surprised to see what they did to DePaul, who I believe is a team very much on the rise. If ND shoots it the way they did vs them this game will be a major challenge.Seriously, a lot of you are vastly overrating Notre Dame based on their record and previous success in March Madness. They lost to Penn State in the NIT and also lost most of their scoring from that year. I've watched most of their games and ours. ND is my second favorite team. If it wasn't against us, I'd be rooting for them. I'm not just your standard ND hating Illini fan haha.
They were only up 3 at half. Luckily Nate and Rex got hot from the 3.I would be buying all you’re selling, but I was very surprised to see what they did to DePaul, who I believe is a team very much on the rise. If ND shoots it the way they did vs them this game will be a major challenge.

They shot 48% for 16 3s against DePaul. The other games:
29%
25%
31%
32%
18% (4-22 woof)
Their overall FG% only broke 40% in two games. DePaul game was 55%.
So I guess we will see which ND team shows up. If they shoot 55% and 48% again then yah we(ND) probably beat us(Illinois).

Unfortunately a truer statement I have not read.I hope they fall back to what they were. Unfortunately, opponents FG% and our defense seem to be a match made in heaven.

DePaul, who I believe is a team very much on the rise.
