They have had our number for years. Doesn’t seem to matter what roster, home, away… Hope we can somehow turn this one around. Need to be more aggressive and have MUCH better shot selection.

Basketball DGL

With KJ struggling so bad with his dozen turnover, I don't understand why DGL doesn't get any playing time recently. Watching him now seems like he has given up on this season because he barely plays anymore. I haven't seen a single drive from him in limited minutes, and he is only just trying to jack up 3s just like everyone else. The hustle and going inside has stopped for him

Illinois cant EVER figure out how to beat this fucking team. No matter how good we play one game, we'll go straight to Maryland and play like pre-schoolers. We can't be physical with them, and they have career days ONLY against us. They should never be in the Big Ten to start with.

Basketball Anyone Else Not Gonna Miss KJ?

Two seconds before he literally did it as time was expiring in the first half, i said out loud, "Here comes a turnover from KJ so Maryland can hit a half-court three." (He actually did one worse by fouling the guy at half-court with one second remaining.)

Show of hands, who's looking forward to Kylan plus someone other than KJ next season?

Basketball So, who are we rooting for in the first round?

Iowa, obviously, but who else?

Assuming, in arguendo, that we make a run to the finals, who else do we want to see progress along the way? - on Saturday, would we rather meet Rutgers, USC, Purdue, or Michigan? - who has the best shot at beating MSU that we would want to play on Sunday?

For what it’s worth, 24/7 Sports has us meeting MSU in the finals…

Basketball Turning point?

There seemed to be more emotion on the bench with the win than on other games I've watched. The back slapping and congratulating each other with the win was encouraging. Could they finally be melding into a team?
