If this game doesn't demonstrate the desperate need for NIL to give Ben better players to utilize his system and style, nothing will.

Hawks gonna lose by 30+, at this rate.

Everything about this game is a disaster.

Stirtz is absolutely lost on the offensive end.
Can't match size when it comes to defense.
Have yet to grab an offensive board.

Everything about this game sucks (so far).

Worse yet, nothing to really complain about officiating-wise. This is all about Illinois just taking it to the Hawks.

Reality check roster, unfortunately.

At least BM will now understand what type of talent it takes to win in the B10 versus MVC. Which I think he already knew.

Alvaro just stands there and watches an ILL player run in for their OReb.

That isn't lack of energy, that's "sit your azz on the bench and I'll think about letting you back in in the 2nd half" kinda stuff.
