If this is not a must-win, it's pretty damn close to it.
-
I will say that this is a 100% probability must win
-
Three weeks ago I didn’t think we’d be needing a win so badly.
-
All quiet on the Skyy Clark news it appears. Let’s see if he plays tonight or is still out with an “injury”

I hope he’s there and stays with the program. I think he’d be fine if he just got an extra 3-5 minutes a game.
-
Nice one Tempo.
Have to say, this is pretty pathetic if an NU game is concerning enough that people are worried because it is a "must win."
I think the Illini are going to get better as 2023 rolls along and make the March Tourney That Counts.

I agree, they usually do under Underwood, but damn 0-3 in conference. Yikes.
-
They are not 0-3 yet, but they are Temp0-3.
-
NW shooting last 2 home games:
Vs Brown 34% (4/21 on 3s)
Vs Ohio State 28% (9/31 on 3s)
NW is due to regress to the mean and blow the doors off Illinois. The last team NW played that was as poorly coached as Illinois was DePaul, and they won that game 83-45. This game should not be close either. Underwood’s AAU ball isn’t gonna work here.

Yeah, that's not how "regress to the mean" works. In fact, given that NW already had a game this season where it shot something like 8 percent on 3s, their version of "regress to the mean" would likely be the opposite of what you wrote.

I just want to know what the Win Expectancy will be at the end of the game.
-
Depaul's entire starting line-up was suspended for the N'Western game I don't know if I would take any value from that game. ::)
-
NW’s uniforms are horrendous
-
Harris picks up 2 fouls in the first 30 seconds of the game. :(
-
Skype clark blows
-
We are not a good basketball team.
-
Clark turns ball over.
Clark's man's makes a three.
Clark bricks 3.
Rinse recycle repeat.
-
We shoot way too many threes for a cling at them.
-
Man we need some shooters in the worst fucking way.
-
How in the hell was Skype going to Kentucky???? Seriously?? 😆
-

Better off without him
-

ICQ was their top target.
-
NW is 6/20 which is 30%. Still waiting for regression.
-
Hawkins just ain't that guy.
He and Shannon are supposed to be the leaders and they just teamed up to commit all kinds of dumb there.
-
Hawkins just ain't that guy.
He's a nba 1st round pick though as what a lot of clueless illini bucket fans say. 😆
-
This offense is pathetic. Drive to the basket u tards.
-
We're a team that chucks up a shit ton of threes. Which is fine if, you know, we were hitting them at a decent clip...which we're not.
-
It's like we don't have a pass in the playbook that accomplishes something, much less a play that takes 2 passes.
-

I think they just read your post. :D
-
We're a stupid, stupid fucking team, and our most experienced players are leading the charge.
That's a problem.
-
Haven't had to worry about Free Shots so far.
-
Keep chucking 3 balls u losers.
-
Most important 40 minutes of the season coming up.
-
Haven't had to worry about Free Shots so far.
Being outscored by 8 at 8-0 might be a worry.

Shoot 30% and up 4. Lol.
We're down 7 in boards, 22-15. Lol.
-
Shoot 30% and up 4. Lol.
We're down 7 in boards, 22-15. Lol.
And we're shooting 46% lol.
-
2 quick passes for an open 3. Drains it.
-
Mayer is a fucking dumbass.
-
NW shooting 26%. 10/38.
-
Mayer does not pass the ball unless he absolutely has to.
-
10/40 25%. I was wrong about regression. If Illinois gets up by 6+ this game should be over
-
We're shooting free shots!
...but it's Dainja shooting them.
-
We're down 10 in points off turnovers and 12 in free shots.
-
Cats hitting their open threes.
Us? Brick, brick, brick.
-
They are not 0-3 yet, but they are Temp0-3.
Ok?

We're down 10 in points off turnovers and 12 in free shots.
The Clown at the door should have told you Free Shots don't matter until Jan 16th

Us? Brick, brick, brick.
Seems to be a recurring theme lately.
-
Mayer plays absolutely no defense either
-
Underwhelm earning that extension
-
Pathetic. Team is offensively inept.
-
Makes you wonder what the fuck happened in MSG. The attitude has changed. There's no chemistry or teamwork. No leadership. Nothing.

B1G Titles the only thing that counts!!!!

Nice pass Hawkins you absolute dumb fuck.

We look adept at turning over the ball.

It wad already fucking ugly. Might? 😂

So glad the team did not need Kofi

Let me know when this team is actually better without Kofi....and Ayo....

The women's team - yes the women's team - has more excitement in January with a program that only had 7 wins last year and with a first year head coach.
Whodathunkit?

something happened between texas and penn st

21-4 on points off turnovers.

Clown34 is right, free shooting is not an issue at all

The clone of me will enjoy that season

Texas and UCLA have to be scratching their heads right now.

Should’ve said MUCH uglier.

Free shots don't matter if you never get any

Texas and UCLA have to be scratching their heads right now.
Illinois will be their bad losses on Selection Sunday.

Yep.

Ball.movement!

Funny when you drive the ball you get good looks

And fouls called even when you trip over your own feet

Wow. And a month ago I thought this team could possibly win a national title.

Too many egos and only one ball.

Free shots not a problem at all. Nope, not at all.

I thought we had a good shot at getting out of the second round. At this rate, that's something we won't have to worry about this year.
-
Shooting 32% and up 10.
-
This team is 2 miracle comebacks away from being 7-7.
They just play bad team basketball and short of Mayer or Shannon going of 1-1 hitting a bunch of 3s, the team has nothing/
Can’t wait to hear Nichi’s take
-
Shooting 32% and up 10.
Free shots are meaningless though until Jan 16th.

This game is exhibit A as to why big ten teams struggle in the tournament
That wasn't basketball that was a visual abortion shitfest
Thanks refs

Under bettors are getting dicked with this last 3 minutes

Yes, it is the refs' fault Illinois has no offense and turnsover the ball.
-
Can't wait to hear who Underachiever blames for this one
-
Outscored 40-23 after the Harris T.
-
Oh brother
-
The positionless basketball thing isn't working as well lately.
-
Outscored 40-23 after the Harris T.
Maybe Underschiever will blame him.

I knew LKDog would leave. I will be taking victory laps all over his putrid takes.
I am the only Illini insider on the internet.

Pathetic. Having Northwestern chanting “little brother” at us. Embarrassing.

So happy to hear Bruce Weber laughing after this one.

Their inconsistency is frustrating, and Hawkins fucking sucks and needs to see more bench

Icing on the cake? 🤮 😭
-

Yeah he’s a turnover machine. He plays like a baby deer or giraffe learning how to walk. His mind is going too fast for his body and vice versa. It’s awkward and hard to watch.
-

To the contrary, the problem is that they have been consistent since beating Texas. Consistently bad.
-
I officially request we change this board to a women's team only board.
-

It's almost like running offense through a turnover machine who's afraid to shoot is never a good idea.

Yeah the upper classmen have been extremely disappointing, gotta bring it every night and they haven't

Its clear Skyy Clark can't defend anyone, and Underwood hates having to play him.
Ty Rodgers is an undersized 4 that has no place on the team
Mayer is a 1 on 1 ball hog that nobody likes playing with.
Shannon has basically 2 moves. The hard drive with his left hand, and the rainbow 3. That's it. And if the 3 isn't falling, he's nothing.
Hawkins is an indecisive turnover machine playing way too far from the basket.
Harris/Epps/Dainja appear to be doing as well as can be expected.
Melendez is counting the days till he hits the portal and get on a team that plays team ball.
All in all, its a shitty team, with mediocre individual talent, ,and non-existent coaching. Like a bad AAU team.
And look at the roster next year. Probably not getting better given how bad Underwood is at working in 1 and dones.
-
Underachiever blaming the kids for fouling. Says the D is actually great!!! Unbelievable.
-
Now says not driving enough to the basket to get Free Shots.
-
Alleges they are not running the offense...
-
Hawkins is the farthest thing from a leader you would want. Clark has been disappointing all year. Melendez has looked lost and lazy off the ball all year. Underwood apparently can't draw up half court sets to get his best players the ball.
There are so many things wrong with this team.
-
Alleges they are not running the offense...
Which...kinda falls on the coach, no?

Maybe the players on the ladies' and mens' teams can claim to switch genders...
-
I have not watched the game yet. Have it on video.
Looked at the box.
Mayer, Shannon, and Epps foul out.
Harris 0 points, 4 fouls in 9 minutes.
40 - 10 free throw disparity. How is that possible?
I would be interested in LK's take.
-
40 - 10 free throw disparity. How is that possible?
Jacking up close to thirty threes and not moving the ball into the paint would be my guess.
I'm pretty sure 8 out of our 10 free throws came late in the game when we were in desperation comeback mode and they kept fouling us for some reason
-
Clark and Melendez are playing with the same type of injury (shoulder) that plagued Trent Frazier and Jacob Grandson late last season. My impression is it is more nagging and painful than serious. Clark is playing with a shoulder brace.

You may want to watch the game before commenting. It is worse than you can imagine. Like Underachiever's losses the first weekend of the Tournament.
-
People are bitching about the way Clark and Melendez are playing. It is relevant that neither one is 100%.

Northwestern shot 32% and won by 10+. That's all you need to know.

They are not the only ones.

Clark sucks. Thats all there is too it.
Melendez is struggling bc he's still trying to play team basketball with 3 ball hogs.
-
A season like this is where you were fucked having Adam Miller and Curbelo transfer out. Those 2 would be your veteran backcourt on this team.
But Underwood isn't just a poor coach, he's a poor GM. Bringing in a bunch of mercernaries isn't a way to build a team.
-

They made 32-40 free throws and shot 7-18 from three.
-
If Curbelo were here; cinimod would be ripping on him.
Ace puppy is still a spot up shooter.
-
Is it too early to start worrying about qualifying for the NCAA Tournament? If PAMan can start worrying about FTs after 1 game, I think I can start worrying about the NCAAs after 14.
-

Where does “Ace puppy” come from? I’ve heard it referenced, but don’t understand it.
-

Iirc, Adam Miller's social media handle is Ace Wolf. LK Dog, who actually knows some ball, calls him ace puppy.
Miller transferred, ostensibly because he did not like being a catch and shoot off the ball guard. He wanted more lead guard opportunities. I am hearing he is even more of a spot up shooter for LSU.
-
One thing. Unlike Cinimod, I am not an insider. I did once have breakfast at a Holiday Inn Jr.

You and him don't know jack shit. I've embarrassed both of you. Now run along back to Illinois Loyalty where you can "rah rah rah go team".
I put my name on the line. Made assessments off all the guys and team literally 9 months ago. Flat out exactly what I said would happen,. is happening.

We can agree he's a mediocre GM because this isn't the 1st year where we've wound up with a team of confusing spare parts but Curbelo is going to lead a Big East team to a 9th place finish and Miller is a step up from RJM but is not any better of a shooter than Shannon, Mayer, or Epps, and can't play point.
-

It did have Loyola vibes but like the junior high version.
-
Horrible game. Horrible team. Horrible officials.
Coleman Hawkins should get the Ralph Malph treatment. Just hold the ball and wait for someone else to come and take it.
Dainja clearly is STILL practicing how to throw an outlet pass from a defensive rebound. Again, Ralph Malph treatment.
Hate to agree with Dominic, but Clark does suck. He does appear to be injured, and it would have been good if Harris had not picked up two fouls in the blink of an eye.
Again, this team sucks. Looks like we're Temp0-4 and on the way to 0-4!
-
Had such high hopes for this season....almost even travelled to Vegas ( i hate Vegas)....glad I didn't. This team is a collective soul of nothing. Empty trips, 3'3'3' and again 1 more, we missed 4 let's shoot some more.
BU doesn't seem to have brought this team together at all...
Epps/Harris are our bright spots along with Mayer, (at times), TSJ could play half as well always as his scowl seems to be, we might be better.
Dain has alot of talent, doesn't seem the IQ is always there though, Hawkins should be balling out by now, he is not. Skyy will be back strong, but not for long I think. Melendez is a quiet kid, but busts his ass and still somehow looks disinterested all the time?
Transfer Portal next year prediction: Skyy, Hawkins, Melendez I would think for sure based on so far this season.
-
Is this the earliest for the "I can't wait for these players to leave" talk has begun?
-
Is Goode coming back this year? What about frenchie?
-
Is Goode coming back this year? What about frenchie?
Yes he’s suppose to be this season. I really think Goode being out has hurt us a lot. I think he’s being the leadership to the team in the court. I’d put Perrin (Frenchie) in now for Hawkins to send a message. If we’re gonna lose and play like shit, do it trying something different. We now know who the players are out there losing us games. They all need better attitudes.
-
I can’t imagine Goode is the difference that makes this team good(e).

I think with his maturity he could bring the lacking leadership needed. Now whether or not that leads to more wins, who knows.

I’ll take better shooting and defense over sophomore leadership from a guy who averaged 2 and 1.8 last year

This is like the third post where you cry out pitifully for a departed member to offer his "expert" take. As Keanu Reeves said at the end of Point Break, he's not coming back.
-

Not sure, but I do enjoy the idea that everyone sucks and we should just keep cycling through transfers every season. It's worked out so well.

You make idiotic comments constantly. There is an old saying that a stopped clock is right twice a day.
A healthy emotionally mature Curbelo might have helped. That didn't happen.
Miller would help on defense, but he did not accept his role on offense until he transferred. That happens a lot and it's going to get worse.
Rodgers and Clark have had struggles typical of top 50 freshmen, and Clark is playing with a shoulder injury. Writing them off now is just stupid.
Melendez is playing with a shoulder injury too. I'd attribute his struggles to that rather than he is somehow the only one playing team ball.
-
Gone are the days of developing freshman and sophomore players that are ranked highly. They either find instant success or they’re gone. You’ll be hard pressed to find players to stick around at all when things aren’t going well. In today’s age, Deron Williams would’ve been gone in the transfer portal after his freshman campaign.
-
I can’t imagine Goode is the difference that makes this team good(e).
me either
-
I'm watching the game. NU playing very aggressively on both ends. Harris with 2 quick fouls. UI missing wide open threes.
On paper; it's a good mix of talent and should be a good shooting team. Just shoot a decent percentage from three, the whole complexion changes.
-
Aside from RJ's 60% the prior year (which was clearly a fluke), Goode was our best returning 3 point shooter.
-
This is like the third post where you cry out pitifully for a departed member to offer his "expert" take. As Keanu Reeves said at the end of Point Break, he's not coming back.
I love me a good Point Break reference.

They not only miss threes; they miss them badly. They look like bricks when they launch them. That affects everything else.
-
Have you watched the game yet?
This joker also claimed to have missed the Mizzou game.
What are you even doing on an Illini messageboard if you aren’t watching the games?
-
Welp, it’s become obvious, we’ll know if this team is going anywhere on Jan. 16th. Ironically, same day we’ll know if our free shots are a fluke or something to worry about. And unfortunately, Jan 16th is closing in fast.

the crazy part is that most of the time (or at least early in the game last night) they are wide open looks, its got to be mental with these guys
-
We're 19th in 3 pt attempts per game and 239th, out of 352, in percentage.
We don't make many but try to make up for it with volume.
-

Great coaching going on. Maybe start bench guys for being lazy and taking 3s instead of going to the basket or passing the ball?
-
Epps, Clark, and Melendez used to be good shooters.
Dainja can't buy a foul.
-
I have an unresolved DTV issue involving ESPN at the moment.
And how does that impact watching Illini basketball right now?
-

A few were bad shots. Most were good wide open shots in the flow of the offense. They should make 40% of those. Something is off.
-
And how does that impact watching Illini basketball right now?
It was in response to the Missouri game. I am watching the NU game.
How did Audige have only 1 foul?
-

Yes, something is off. They insist on shooting 3s in games where they keep missing them and do not try do something else, like take the ball to the basket.
-

well, the blind idiots wearing zebra costumes only saw one foul I guess...

But enough about nearly all of the last decade of Illini basketball.

Right? Is Groundhog Decade, the movie, a thing?
-
Sometimes I wonder if people buy into the idea that because 3-point baskets are worth more than 2-point baskets, it's OK to miss a lot of 3s. All that does is lead to a bunch of empty trips down the court.
Also, have I mentioned that Hawkins and Dainja should just hold the ball and wait for someone else, preferably another Illinois player, to come and take it?
-
I can’t imagine Goode is the difference that makes this team good(e).
Goode imo is just BU mini me....he sees a player that may be more coachable/trainable/gullible? He is/will be using Goode as a go between imo...Goode is good, but if that is our leader of the team...well we may have other issues, we do!
-

Shooting 33% from 3 is roughly equivalent to shooting 50% from 2. Except I think it's more complicated.
Yes, missed threes can lead to empty possessions. Or worse, long rebounds; which can result in transition offense for the other team.
-
I woke up tdoay and said...we win 3 out of next 4
-
Needs to be like 8 out of next 9.

Not sure about the authenticity of this, but it came from the Twitts so it's gotta be news.

Exactly. The team falls into that trap a lot. Along with many other traps.
-
I will say one positive from the game was that with the ditching of the stupid switching defense, they held Northwestern (yeah I know a shitty shooting team) to 32% from the field... they do however have to work on their free throw defense since NU shot 80% on 40 fucking attempts
