You keep telling yourself that. Setting yourself up for more disappointment. Do t blame the refs, don't blame the coaches. The players are the ones out there not stopping guards and

We are the tallest team with the best offense in division 1 basketball, except we have zero killer instinct
Hes our strength and conditioning coach not the teams psychiatrist fr
This team wasn’t built for close games….no physical nor mental toughness.
washington beat this team up on the glass. killed them.
most may look at the blown lead, which sure, agreed. but those buckets wisconsin would get on 2nd and 3rd chances when we were up like 12-15 in both halves were nonsensical.

Longtime lurker of the board and just finally decided to give my 2 cents that no one will care about in my first post. Probably won't be the last as misery loves company. We just need to accept this is how it goes for us every year. The responses in postgame pressers, botching line-ups/sub patterns, starting off well to blow leads, not match-up hunting, being one-trick ponies, minimal adjustments, etc you name it. As Illinois fans, we should/can see this coming from a mile away. We can say fire Brad but then what? We've been through the peaks and valleys with different coaches. Unfortunately it is what it is. Time and time again, this is what will happen with Brad's teams.
I'm not in the practices or on the bench to know what's going on. However, time and time again, you'll see Tyler holding the clipboard and very engaged in the huddle with offensive concepts. That's all fine and grand but we never address the gigantic !!! Badger + Wolverine + any other opponent in the room that we are absolute traffic cones on opposite side of the ball.
Offensively, if we're not making 3's, we're absolutely toast. I don't care what the metrics say. When you have Rohde on Mirk and all you do is dribble up top and fire away a 3, you deserve to lose. That's not matchup hunting.
This probably won't go over well with some people here but sometimes you need to play fast and put the pressure on the defense. There's many times where we have the numbers to push in transition but we're so stubborn and adamant on slowing down the pace and giving the ball immediately to Keaton to walk it up. We aren't doing any favors to Andrej by playing slow at times. When he's in there, let him drive in open space, rather than telling him to get his against a set defense.
That's it. For now.

The Illini let Wisconsin score 46 points in the last 16 minutes of the game, including OT.
That’s a Wisconsin team that played less than 24 hours ago and was using essentially a six man rotation.
No bueno.

Sometimes fans are delusional fanatics
you all talk about how weak this team is but they were super clutch earlier in the season against great teams. no idea what's happened but it's terrible to watch. I'm hoping we make the sweet sixteen where i was hoping for a final four a couple months ago
can't wait for someone to point out that it's good, actually, that we're below .500 in our last 9 games.
I am sorry but we need to look at the fletch stuff, these teams are always exhausted by the end of the year.
I think Keaton needs to rest. He isnt shooting 3s or free throws close to earlier this year and increased TOs, 1 of 6 from 3 today and key missed FTs.
But as bad as the twins are from the outside, other than an occasional dunk, they’re worse inside. When you have 2 guys over 7’ and if they get a rebound they throw it back out instead of taking it up there is a problem.
We are 1-5 against the top 5 in the BIG. We haven't played well in the last month or so. I think we are who we are at this point, and that's a team that doesn't play well enough consistently enough to win more than 2 games in a row in the NCAAT.
I also seem to remember
Andrej gets on a roll first half gets subbed out. Ben plays 23 minutes. 0 points. Davis doesn’t rebound. Play Big Z 30 minutes. Tomi is lost. Knew we had to stop 2 guys and they go off for 70. Coaching is very very questionable right now
