Shannon is feeling it. We need some offensive plays to get the other cats involved and some free throws.

Audige is an athletic dude. But Shanon is a freak. When Audige tries to go at him on penetration you can feel Shannon’s physicality prevail every time.

Beran is a senior and is so unwilling to be aggressive we are closing this out on small ball.

They keep reviewing the ball going out, but they didn't seem to notice the defender pushing on Boo at the shot.

Terrible collapse. Too much ******* around and finding out with poor second half efforts.

Tough. Forget about no 3rd scorer. We had no 2nd. And at a point, Boo was probably wiped out.

Can’t be surprised at that loss. We deserved it. Everyone other than Boo and Barnhizer was hot garbage tonight. We cannot rely on one player to win.

Bui is hogging the ball. Is so easy to defend they just stop him. We need to mix it up
Non-Boos we’re 10-for-39. He was it.

Now the challenge is to leave this half in Champaign and come out strong for a tough, early game against the Terps.

Credit to Illinois for adjusting in the second half and putting Harris on Buie, that changed the game, along with their expected regression to the mean shooting 3s. Sucks, but we're still in ok shape.

Tough to win when the Orange Inferno gets cranked up. You have a good team. Good luck the rest of the way.
Get lost. What kind of jackass comes to an opponent’s board after an emotional game like that?
