Is Illinois always this ******* dumb? They've missed like four dunks.

The teams in this conference root for each other when it's not against each other. It wouldn't surprise me if both Rutgers and Indiana win today because on a larger scale, it doesn't hurt Illinois or Iowa seeding much in the tournament, they know they are in.

Some keys: 1) not too aggressive on O glass, can’t give up clean transition 3s; 2) limit TOS Esp of breakaway sort; 3) bad D rebounding will give I looks from 3; 4) good decision-making by CO when doubled; 5) 75% FTs, 35+% from; no ticky-tack foul calls.

Can’t root for the Hoosiers anymore, they might be my most hated Big Ten fan base now after PSU and Michigan football.

Also, anyone catch Dave Revsine talking about Pike and us at halftime? “Pikiell is taking Rutgers to their second straight NCAA tournament for the first time since 19xx” .. basically saying we are already in. That in the consensus it seems everywhere besides this message board !

Disagree with 1... we always look better when we crash the offensive boards and Iowa is soft and vulnerable. We want to dirty up the game and win extra possessions wherever we can

What a rejection. Dayum! 🙂
noticing atleast in this 2nd half---why does Cofi go up so soft when he's down below with the ball? Twice atleast he should have gone up to dunk and instead he tries a short layup shot and misses

Illinois looks horrible, I’ll be honest I’d rather play them than Indiana who would have the whole arena rocking tomorrow, and could take our spot in the NCAAs after we beat them at their place just last week

I still can't tell if the parity in the league right now is a good thing or not. Aside from maybe Purdue and Wisconsin, seems anyone can beat almost anyone.

Neither of these teams look that scary. Also remember that INDY would be playing their third game in 3 days if they get through

I would not be surprised that a Indiana win over Illinois would move them higher than Michigan and Rutgers in NCAA seeding.The home court crowd really helping Indiana.The perceived top Big Ten teams don't look impressive so far except for Iowa.
