GAME 7 Illinois: Jordanesque

[BOGDANOVICH]

Pike said it was his best team and the best 5. He completely whiffed on understanding his players abilities

Or it was a cynical ploy to manipulate the fanbase. Or maybe it was a cruel joke.

The SHU game is gonna be so so so bad. Like 2015 bad. That SHU team is a bunch of hungry dogs. They have a serious chip on their shoulder. Why? I have no clue but that team is HUNGRY. The hustle, crash the glass, play insane defense. Id be shocked if we kept it within 20 and thats not hyperbole

Seton Hall is already salivating at the prospect of the upcoming massacre.

The good news is our next game is against the #2 ranked team in the country.

#1 actually by the time we play them

I’m amazed how many good players Illinois has and how they accept their roles. Team is so deep with talent. Coleman and Mag played on the same HS team and we couldn’t close the deal on Coleman and brought in Mag. Underwood is really good! Taking a step back this year will make it really tough in recruiting and competing in the portal even with the APC. The head scratcher here is we have good players and why we are not getting better results.

You said it yourself. We have “good” players. Illinois has great players. Big difference

Shirley, you jest.. “Good” is a B. Most, if not all, of our guys are C level and worse and I’m an easy grader. Coaching? Oy.

Played a strong match but lost 1-0 to #1 ranked Florida State. Gave up the winner on a corner in 71st minutes. We had chances but their goalie kept us off the scoreboard.

I would add that they were not outclassed... very much belonged on the same field with FSU and fought very hard right to the end. FSU got some advantage in calls, I think.. but not absurdly so.. and in their favor, they did not slow the ball down to run out the clock.. they played soccer the whole game... anything that looked like a delay game was just them doing their thing.. being patient and trying to lure Rutgers into opening up a path to a quick strike from them... so kudos to them.

First, don't call him Shirley. Second.. we do have good players.. but we do not have a good offense nor good team.. uh.. "spirit"? Not in that game nor games like it. The opponent talent is why we lost by 30 and not by 2 or 5... see the losses vs the "cupcakes" for comparisons.
