In his postgame interview with Eanet, Collins blamed the teams toughness for another 2nd half collapse. He said when teams turn up the volume on them in the 2nd half they just haven’t responded. He took the blame for it.
I’m sure that’s a part of it but this team simply doesn’t shoot well...
Couldn't agree more. Michigan played 9 guys we played 8. And Tschetter only played 7 minutes for them. Fatigue is an excuse when each team played about the same amount of guys and same amount of minutes.
I think it comes down more to them having old guys and us having young guys. And the...
Depends on what you mean by retool. NU will never be like Illinois and other teams that bring in 7 or 8 transfers a year. But NU absolutely can get to a point where they have highly ranked HS recruiting classes that are supplemented by 2 or 3 impactful transfers many years. Never relying on...
Jackson won’t like this game one bit. In state rival and you get humiliated and laughed at. I don’t care how young this team is and how good Illinois is. Just embarrassing.
And when I say it will get Jackson’s attention I don’t mean he will think about firing Collins. I mean he will know...
Then Jackson isn’t telling him everything. I know for a fact that football is getting kids in that would not have gotten admitted in the recent past. I’m not saying they have completely lowered standards as we all know that won’t happen but admissions is cooperating with them.
Do you really think there are zero teams we can outspend? Thats such a false narrative. Obviously there are several factors contributing to the struggles this year. Gragg killed one full class and that is the main reason we’re so young. Obviously the transfers aren’t contributing as much as...
Collins obviously has a lot of work to do in the offseason. Admissions has been very cooperative with Jackson and Braun for football as they are allowing kids to get in who would not have been admitted in the past. I assume they’re doing the same for basketball. Collins needs to do a much...
Just awful defense. So disappointing. Reid is obviously quick enough to move his feet and stay in front of people but he just doesn’t. All about effort.
