One team has good players who can shoot and a lot of height and the other one has neither
So is the height disparity with the teams on the court at the start of the 2nd half. We look like a high school team out there in terms of size matching up against the tall Illini players.
Lol that’s a worn out trope. It’s funny but it’s not actually true. The guys coming from Europe aren’t coming from their high level, high paying leagues. They’re their college equivalent. There isn’t an “amateur” equivalent to what we have in college (which isn’t unpaid anymore obviously), so anyone who’s playing high level ball in Europe by default is a pro. But these dudes are getting like 10k a year.
Because top 25 teams are difficult to beat on the road, but Collins has won a fair amount of home games against Illinois, some of them pretty good teams.
Still in 13 tries that’s shocking. Those John Groce teams were bad, as were the first three years or so of underwood.
I think Baz= Heisman, Tyrell for the TD, Bacher for Heisman, Gerak = Rimmington and me could shot better from 3.
You can tell this team hates each other. Nick has basically said as much in his postgame pressers about effort. That’s on Collins for awful roster construction.
Also if it’s tired WHO CARES. It’s how the game works now. Adapt or die.
In 13 seasons, Collins is a .500 coach… I’d say that’s averaging out to a bad team way more often than every 3 years.
That’s because they make more threes in one game than we do in three. BTW, Nick was bad today! So, it literally was the entire team. They just don’t shoot with any confidence and just gets worse when they continue to miss. Most of the misses weren’t even close.
They took 37 and we took 25.
