Fitting end to first half with Illinois making a basket with one second remaining on time clock.

Game was immediately mucked up. Hard to defend with Johnson and Cliff on the bench for touch fouls and an Illinois march to the line while Cockburn throws elbows. Not that chucked 3s help, but RU was shooting 50-60% despite being 0-5 from 3 at one point - but the possession mismatch and Duke getting so many minutes was gamechanging.

At this point it seems like our fanbase just wants Geo to leave or transfer.

And you all get on me for being iffy on Pikiell.

At least I take it out on the coaches and not the players.

On the bright side, how friggin bad is Indiana? We let them score 50 in 40 minutes last night. Illinois just put up 47 on us in 20 minutes.

Let up 47 points. Illinois is playing well but you can't call what we did defense.
Yep Doucoure playing 10 minutes against Kofi Garza doesnt help that stat now does it before we go killing the players who are sitting on the bench not allowed to play since Kofi is a B1G god

Any of you surprised by the score when we’re playing Doucoure basically a walk-on versus Kofi Cockburn need to have your head examined. 2 fouls on both Myles and Cliff before 10 min mark of first half is exact recipe for blowout. Too bad
This. Our two bigs out early vs. Cockburn and say good night Gracie.

Reiber> Duke. Play the youngster at this point. Give him some experience

I am not sure avoiding playing Reiber the entire season just to throw him into this game so Cockburn can rip his head off and eat it is the best move.

It's pretty bad when there are fans that it's obvious are rooting for Geo to fail. Not sure what sin he has committed. Pretty sad.
