Wisconsin 57, Illinois 43 POSTGAME
Onto February.
Same old story - slow start, too many second chance points, offensive rebounding was pathetic, they make a little run, but lose against. But hey, I'm sure Groce loved there Energy! :frustrated:

Ive never been so content NOT watching illini basketball.
Flight it is
We made 16 buckets. The 40 we missed must have all been contested. I guess Groce has to go.
When are we going to hold the players accountable?

Best case scenario seem to be about 8-10 in BIG play.
I loved their energy too. What I do not love is that they execute nothing well on either end.
I have seldom seen a team that was so much less than the sum of its parts.

This is just really sad. The players look like they have zero confidence. Wisconsin is clearly a better coached team. Not even close.

Groce new ladder achievement... not losing by 20+
.7 PPP (roughly), just frustrating. Ugh.
This reminded me of the Florida St. game in some ways. We weren't that far off, the opponent kept us at bay but we were still able to make some runs at times giving us false hope of a possible comeback.
Watching the game made me feel sad more than angry. Sad at how low our program has gotten.

SAD!
Feel terrible for Malcolm. He's worked so hard to get to this point in his career and he needed a big game tonight, but his shot just wouldn't fall.
Never it's all Groce according to many

Ummm...He recruited the players. He's being held accountable for not having them prepared as well as the fact that they're not very good...
Win 5 more games?? Not happening.
This is a close game if we just hit open shots.
But this is an easy win if this team is being coached up to its talent level.
