Just got beat today. Flush it and move on. Not many teams playing as good as the Illini right now.

 

[macmoolah]

How the fuck is that a foul?
Wagler gets NBA calls

 

[Mavsker]

Just can’t beat these teams short handed. Let’s get Mast fully recovered before Purdue and we’ll be cooking with gas again.

Hopefully. Mast has been struggling for a while now since well before he got sick with flu. Today was a slump of a slump

 

[TheXHerb]

Defensive side of the ball has been horrifically flat this half. Has had a huge impact on our offensive transition game.

We’re playing probably one of the few teams that can move the ball and pass the ball well enough to beat our defense though. Illinois in my book is probably the best overall team in the conference. I know if Michigan is hitting on all cylinders probably beat this team, but they are like us with their ball movement, but overall more talented. This is a really good basketball team that we can’t beat if we have one of our best players go 0-9 in a game .

Can't win when nobody can shoot

 

[herbie tarlek]

Refs had nothing to do with this one. We flat out played like shit

Agree but Paul Szelc is ass as an official. Always sucks

Illinois is going to be hard to beat with their size and Wagler playing like this

 

[Pepe Silvia]

we're 20-2 for the first time ever!

tough week, but if any one of us had predicted this record before the season they would have had their belt and shoelaces taken away

I recognize who they are and what they are about. And, in the second half, our defense was really bad today.

It affects our offensive transitions and who we are on that side of the ball.

I know what you’re saying. I just think it has more to do with how good Illinois is than how bad our defense was. I thought they were hustling and contesting shots as best they could against these guys. Illinois just got incredibly lucky on some ball bounces, and rebounds and even on contested shots, they didn’t miss. Got to tip your hat to them and move on.

I recognize that the other team was trying too

 

[BigRed97]

We didn’t show up for the second half. Mast was struggling.

 

[V-Doub]

Fuck! Get mad about it. Make it make you better. Fuck the B1G. Let’s…

 

[RedSavage]

We didn’t show up for the second half. Mast was struggling.

He was really starting to settle in there in the final minute

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Week off. Go beat Rutgers and get to feeling good again

 

[Scarlet ObsessioN]

Didn’t play well. Don’t let it become a losing streak.

 

[Mavsker]

These last two games our opponents have attempted a combined 49 free throws while we have attempted a combined 9
Net -40 free throws

 

[TalaricoHusker]

Welp there goes the season. Fuck

 

[TalaricoHusker]

Definitely going to fall out if the top 10 and will be an 8th seed
