Iowa City, IA 10-Day Weather Forecast
Saturday 02/04
Overcast. High 44F. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph.
-
Good to see the weather will be mild. Should definitely help with turnout.
-
Iowa by a lot. After the Krush’s bullshit, I hope they pound the shit out of the Illini

As much as I’d like the Illini to win, I do have a feeling it’s going to be a lot like the train all the drunk frat boys ran on you in the dorm when you were passed out.
All you can do is learn from your mistakes and get better
-
I will be out of town so ill watch replay

What “bullshit?”
-
So they bought the tickets under ruse of a charity (and also got a discount)? If that’s the way it went down, yeah, that’s kinda idiotic.

🤦

Supposedly you get a group discount regardless of what the group is. Just depends on the size of the group.
I think they were trying to be a little too clever.
-
Afaik:
They do this every year. Pose as some other fictional group; enter dressed as the other team's fans, then reveal themselves as Krush after the game starts.
This year they called themselves the Illinois Chapter of the Boys and Girls Club; which does not exist. It is a fictional group. There are "Boys and Girls Clubs of 'fill in a location'." There is also "The Illinois Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs."
Iowa implied they obtained a discount by posing as a charity. That is false. The discount is available to any group of 20 or more. Besides, Krush is a 501(c)3 origination.
The tickets were purchased in October. Buses were chartered for 200. Individuals booked hotel rooms. Iowa waited until yesterday to cancel the tickets.
-
Luke Goode cleared, but not in game shape. Will be dressed and on the bench at Iowa, but unlikely to play much, if at all.
-
I bet we bring him in when we get down 15.
-
I'm not sure we can win a shoot out, but us seeing no defense should be good for us.
-
Dainja put a hurtin on Sandfort's shooting arm.

“I like Dix”

As Bashful Bob used to say, if you're going to foul, foul 'em hard.
-
We're not taking advantage of xxxx not scoring.
-
Melendez blows
-
RJ is broken
-
Epps and Shannon pretty much gave Iowa that 3
-
We should have been looking to go in up 6 at the half. Not 1.
-
We shit ourselves in the last minute there. Should have been up 4 at the very least.
-
Terrible finish to the first half.
-
9 turnovers vs a team that doesn't play defense. What are they thinking ?
-
Hey Tempo,
Did you drive to the game with Jeff?

-
We got frosh ballers.
-
Here come the whistles
-
This ain't going well.
-
Goode is gonna get some tick at this rate.
-
Every time we look like we’re gonna run away from them they make a run.
-
More low IQ stuff from Hawkins. Ugh.
-
Great. Double bonus with 9:20 to go.
-
We're doing just enough to be winning barely right now, but man we make some stupid plays.
-
Ugh. Basically 4 on 5 on offense with Melendez out there.
-
We can barely get it over against their press.

Play better defense so they can't set it up.
-

It's all about survival at this point.
-
Feels like we’re going to lose a game we should be winning by 12.
-
Swear it seems like we’ve been on the verge of putting them away early a half dozen times.
-
Fucking Hawkins again.
-
Hope the walk-ons are ready. Half the team might foul out of this one.
-
If we win this game it’ll be Mayer or Epps that salts it IMO.
-
Need to bring Mayer back in.
-
Was gonna say why is he waiting to call time
-
Shannon, we needed that.
-
We're down 9 at the free throw line. They know how to draw fouls.
-
Does Mayer have 4?
-
Perkins having the game of his life.

-

Yep
-
Hats off to Perkins. He's unconscious right now.
-
Rodgers, Mayer and Shannon all with 4 fouls.
Can Iowa miss an f'n free throw.
-
Perkins having the game of his life
If that coincidence was accidental, that’s amazing.
-
Damn I’d like to win this game. Haven’t wanted a win this much probably all year.
-
Probability of winning this has to be about 5% with Perkins in a zone.
-
4 on Dainja.
-
How many thousands of players have had a career game against the Illini?
-
This is a helluva game. Will feel like a bad loss if we lose, though.
-
Hawkins gets fouled on both arms and xxxx gonna get the ball
-
Terrible.
Hawkins was obviously hacked by Murray, per the review, which should be Murray's 5th foul.
-
And Hawkins shouldnt have taken that
-
Of all the players taking that shot..it's Hawkins??
-
Stupid foul by Iowa.
-
Would love to steal this one.
-
Does Bardo not know the rules? Iowa doesn’t have 1.9 secs to get the ball across half court. The clock resets on timeouts.
-
What does Hawkins do, exactly?
-
If Perkins misses a FT Iowa should foul and not allow a 3
-
They still gave up a 3. These teams are so dumb. Illinois covers
-

You must be a pool of sweat considering you thought this would be a blowout.
-
Well, shit. Game we should've won by 6 to 10.
-
We let them play their game the 2nd half. That was a winnable road game,
-
Pretty shitty game from Iowa. They should have blown out this bad Illini team.
-
Illini'll lick them in the B1G Tourney, if they face each other.
-
Well, shit. Game we should've won by 6 to 10.
I was highly confident we would from 5 to go in the 1st to 5 to go in the 2nd.
-

Oh brother.
-
Would have been a great to win separate ourselves from the middle of the pack.
-
Hawkins and Melendez 0-8 from the floor.
22-25 ft for xxxx in the 2nd half.
-
Coleman Hawkins
0-7 FGs. (0-4 from 3). 3 turnovers. 1 assist.
This guy is the poster child for how bad of coach Underwood is. Underwood let’s him do whatever he wants.
-
High level entertaining college basketball game. We certainly had our opportunities to put this away. Tony Perkins had other ideas though and Iowa lived at the free throw line.
On to the next one

You just wrote it was a shitty game by Iowa. Underachiever and the staff played no role in that?

Epps and Perkins felt like clones on the court. Same athleticism,size, handle, really game.
-

Underwood encouraging a 27% three point shooter to fire 3s in a close game is terrible coaching.
The fact that game was close, was because Iowa was terrible on the glass.
Illinois played the same dumb game they been playing all year long. Tons of turnovers, brain dead 3 point shooting attempts. Just basic AAU ball. Most teams on their home court should blow out the opponent when the opponent has 18 turnovers, and home team hits about 90% from the line. Even with Mayer having his 1 hot game every 5 games, still should not have been close.

Robert from illiniboard has better takes.
-
The 3 Iowa hit at the half because of our awful clock management cost us this game
I knew that would happen

Did that shot give you gas?
-
Perkins scored 32 points on 11 fg attempts. Made 1 of 2 from 3. 15-16 on throws.
We made 4 of our first 7 threes. Finished 7 of 22.
-
Hot team at their place and had a kid put up the game of his life. Not too angered by the loss in the end.
We didn't back down when Iowa made their runs. Moral victories aren't it I know but at least it wasn't like our other losses where we came out lifeless and uninspired.
-
I thought we were gonna get smoked for some reason so I’m just happy it was a good game.
-
Honestly games like this wouldn't suck as much if we hadn't shat ourselves against PSU and in 2-3 other games.

That about sums it up. We meet again in tourney and they get spanked.

No question. These losses hurt more after you’ve let inferior teams push you around on your own floor.
-
I think the writing is on the wall. We've played 2 decent teams in the last 9 games and lost both of them. The other 7 wins were against shit teams. (Teams not making the NCAA tournament). The only exception might be Michigan State. Maybe.
While we are playing better, it was a low bar in a bad conference to begin with. We make so many stupid illogical decisions every game. There are too many problems with this team and intelligence is not their strong suit.
How many times did Mayer touch the ball in the last 3 minutes of the game? I don't think he shot it once. He's our best player and it's not even close anymore. Mayer > Shannon. I have also lost all faith in Coleman Hawkings. Dude is killing us game after game with stupid ass decisions on offense. He is a terrible offensive player and liability for us on that end of the floor.
Probably looking at a 4-4 or 3-5 finish. Put us at 19-12 or 20-11 overall. Somewhere near a 10 or 11 seed and mostly likely a 1 and done.

Maybe I am just an optimist, but I see it the opposite way. We tried the Win the B1G Regular Season Championship way and have lost in the first weekend in the Only Tournament That Matters. With no B1G Regular Season Championship albatross I see the team making it to the second week at a minimum. Go Illini!
-
I would take that in a heartbeat
-
No outcome would surprise me with this team, but without a transformation can’t see them beating more than 1-2 good teams in a row.
