Why didn’t we pressure like this about 8 minutes ago?!

This is a garbage time run that John Groce would be proud of.

It's ok as Rutgers appears underseeded.

Relying on 3 point shooting in the offense to get them back in the game. Dumb coaching. If you press and cause turnovers, you can get open 3s.

Really glad I forgot the game was on.

I think I'm glad I missed this one.
2 bad halves in the last 2 games, then this sounds like 2 bad halves in 1 game.
That is a little concerning at this time of year.

Last year we finished so strong then shit the bed immediately in the tournament.

Maybe this year we finish regular season and BTT like shit then proceed to make the final four.

Got plenty of good looks throughout the game but their intensity and length on D clearly had us sped up.

Our three point shooting prowess early is kind of a double edged sword now. Players that haven’t been shooting well at all lately still have a bright green light. So then we go away from Kofi when we have a clear advantage there.

But it’s also hard to have them pass up clean looks from three to feed the post when the guys shooting them have shown they can do so at a good clip. And three is still more than two.

Brad has his work cut out for him down the stretch.

What is Belo’s role? How does he define that and rein him in without neutering him? He needs to improve now that he can practice and do strength and conditioning.

What offensive and defensive wrinkles can we work in assuage some of the issues we’ve seen of late? Cut back on the threes and try to get to the rim more? Is this viable with our stable of midget guards? They showed signs tonight but went away from it.

Who, besides RJ, can break out?

I wouldn’t hate to see some zone worked in against lengthy teams like Rutgers or Maryland that aren’t lights out from three. Like Holtmann does for the first couple of ball rotations in a given possession and then switch back to man.

I’d like to see the ball move more quickly at times when the defense is putting a ton of pressure on the ball. We seem to hold on and survey forever which gives the defense time to recover and also keeps them from getting tired.

Kofi needs to be more decisive when he gets the ball. I know he needs to see whether the double is coming or not, but he takes so long that the double is already there and he gets stripped or stacked or has a hard time throwing it out. This is the scouting of the great coaches in the B1G at work. He just needs to develop a better understanding of where everyone is when he catches the ball.

Illinois played terrible, Rutgets (most underrated team in the B1G-stated this 2 weeks ago) played probably as good as they can...and we lost by 11?

Nothing to worry about here...very few teams will play with that intensity against us for a full game moving forward...also few if any will have that kind of atmosphere....This was Rutgers most important game to date ever...they rose to the challenge, Illinois simply kept missing the broadside of the barn. ILLINI were 0-18 I think at one point....if 1/3 of those had fallen (realistic any other game) we win by 10!!

Lost by 11 is a misnomer. Rutgers was up 60-37 with 7 minutes left. This was an absolute uncompetitive rout from the opening tip off.

Reminded me of the Loyola game.

Eh, game was nowhere near as competitive as the final score shows. We decided to finally show up in the last 5 minutes with a garbage time run straight out of the John Groce years. Rutgers whipped our asses up and down the floor pretty much all game long.
