From down 20 to down 3 and lose by 6. Another close one. Damn. Would be nice to win one of these.
Can’t start playing our brand of b-ball with 12 left
I'm not into bilullshit comeback losses. You need to SHOW UP and win
Missed 5 free throws all game. Lost by 6. Many other things contributed to the loss before free throws.
Give the guys credit for hanging in. Let's keep the home streak going.
Freakin another classic B1G road game. Wtf is the problem with getting 1 of these?
Just enough bs play to dig a hole or. Not finish. So frustrating.

Hopefully they learned something...
BEAT ILLINOIS
I think that erased foul on Wesson in 1st half made up the score difference

The 2 3’s to end the half AND The turnover in the paint, after we had cut it to 9 following a nice little run that lead to an easy bucket at the other end, both killed us.
Final score 72-66 Ohio State.Great late effort but like other road games too little too late.
Another close-but-no-cigar road game
It took 20 seconds off the clock because the clock recycled to 30 seconds.
A very messy game from our guys but proud of their fight. just need to play smarter on the road.
Once again, terrible first half followed by decent half-time adjustments, just to come up short and lose anyway.
Pike needs to get this team to show up for the games at the beginning of the games, and then finish them.

yes we did. Down 4 12 seconds left and they make foul shots. A two just puts them back up 4 with 10 seconds left
It’ll be nice to have a few more bodies next year who are capable of playing the type of S we need to play, early in games to give starters some rest, so that we can play this way for 40 minutes.
Problem is, we needed to get to the line more in the first half. Gotta win our home games now.
I saw no lack of effort at any point in the game. We just rarely have had our shots fall recently early and opponents 3s hurt.
Think we need to adjust and defend the three better earlier. We seem to get demoralized when our opponents make 3s like free throws.

Coming back is cool and all but we gotta start asking ourselves how do we consistently keep digging these holes and i think the answer is simple. Were not running an offense so its easy to go into long scoring droughts and when we fall behind by a lot we start to play a little faster and get shots up quicker which surprise surprise, leads to more points
All about the behind the back assists...
Would have been great to see that defense in the first half. Team needs to play from the opening tip.
Agreed. If they carry the late momentum over to Saturday thats great but this isn't little league. This team is trying to make the NCAA Tournament. You can't play like absolute crap for 75% of this game. Way way way past the point of being "happy with a nice comeback and no quit attitude".
This. Pike needs to think long and hard about his starting five.
Just like I said at halftime when this live thread is unreadable with over the top negativity, we always come back. Close again but need that win
And bac people keep saying it's hard for us to get blown out bc we are... Not sure why you were trying to brag about being wrong about this. You were wrong again this game too. Wrong every time so far in this one. A game where multiple players didnt play well and we still are in it at the end.... again

Pretty even game statistically speaking. Can’t spot a team 20 points even if you can stop them from scoring over an 8 minute period
Agree "happy with a nice comeback and no quit attitude" is for teams that aren't going anywhere. We want to go somewhere with four letters in it.
One would think we would look to switch something up on offense. Too many slow starts. Too many long scoring droughts. Too much of us looking like its mission impossible to get a bucket
or we just play defense. We gave up 45 points in the first half. That is obviously way too many. Held them to 27 In second half. We gave it away in first half because we couldn’t stop them. Offense wasn’t horrible pretty standard for us
