Season’s over already. Cool.

Seriously, bad loss. Curbelo can’t play like that for us to succeed. 3 assists/7 turnovers won’t get it done.

Please remove entirely from Top 25. That we deserve...and the refs looked at from BOTH sides on this game.

26 turnovers, 24 fouls and shoot 38 %. 30 point differential in free throws and points off turnovers.
We got those stats covered. Time to work on something different maybe.

I watched the last 10 minutes from 58-46 on. Every foul from that point on we either just ran people over or ran into people and a ton of them were on offensive rebound attempts after Marquette clearly had the ball.

Even Marsall hack a shaq was working. They tried to give us the game, we just wanted to give it away more…

Last 10 minutes 80% of the offense went thru Curbelo, why we only scored 8 points in that time frame. Every other possession was either a Curbelo blocked shot or turnover and a fast break the other way. His mental lapse at 30 seconds at half court should earn him a spot on the bench to start the next game…

I know it would if I was the coach…

Well shit.  The good news is I missed the game and won't bother watching the DVR.  Reading these comments is kinda disturbing.  Guilty here about the belo love.

69 observations from the Marquette loss:

The good:

This game certainly provided a lot of teaching moments but shouldn’t hurt the overall perception of the team too bad since Kofi was out, Hutch is still out, and Belo and Trent are working their way back from injuries.

The bad:

It’s hard to comprehend that the Andre Curbelo we saw tonight is the same player who showed such brilliance down the stretch last year. Marquette did a great job of helping on him when he started doing his Curly Neal shit. Looked to me like he should still be in concussion protocol. 

That last 10 minutes we ran no discernible offense and let them push us out to half court over and over again while settling for long off balance threes. In hindsight, Underwood should have run the ball through Trent. The ball has to move against pressure D and we had issues with that last year.

But worst of all I suffered through the end of this in a crowd of non-Illini fan neighbors in my garage when everyone else would have rather been watching MNF. At least the Blackstone venison tacos turned out great.

Hacking, unless you're trying to put the other team at the free throw line late, is unacceptable.
26 turnovers has never been acceptable.
Both are coaching issues.
Still hiding behind innuendo and practicing the art of omission.

Ugly game. Curbelo can be out of control as we all know.
Weird lineups.
But Hulka gonna Hulka.
We will be alright in spite of him.

Nothing egregious that I noticed in real time. I think there was one call I said “home cookin” aloud. I just watched the last 10 mins again and it looked to me like when they’d go to the basket and miss they’d automatically call a foul after the fact despite minimal if any contact. There were a couple of times they attacked on defense and got steals that I suppose could have been called fouls. The pivotal steal on Trent at half court near the end could have been a foul and also could have been called a kick. Meh. Just win.

Worst of all, if Marquette wins we’ll have to listen to Tempo’s “I told you so” for all of time.

Couldn’t be more wrong. Like pretty much every other Tempo meme, the “Tempo is in love with Shaka” meme is greatly exaggerated. Sure, like just about everyone else here 5 or so years ago, I drooled over the idea of him coming to Illinois. Shaka did a mediocre at best job at Texas, and I conceded that a long time ago. He’s probably more decent than good. I have no more interest in the Shaka debate. Haven’t for quite a long time.
