Stirtz with some questionable decisions on offense
Yeah throwing up prayer after prayer, then misses a layup. Horrible stretch there.
Best PG on the floor today is a freshman out of Kansas, unfortunately.
That missed alley oop and rolled out layup by Stirtz will haunt us all season.
He is having trouble adjusting to big 10 level. He looks like a bumpkin at times.
Conference is tough too which is why you can’t lose your home game.
I am in NO position to question a coach of the caliber and success that Ben McCollum has, but how did Hausen not get even a second in this game when 3s were at a premium, ESPECIALLY late!?!?!?!
Hot garbage on the offense by Ben.. Big comeback with Shirtz.
So maybe we'll be Ok without him next year.
Really disappointing showing.
Illinois fans hoping they can pay enough to keep out of NBA draft
Stirtz was awful today. No other way to put it.
Just not enough firepower at this point. Gotta claw out some wins somehow. But it’s gonna be a struggle.
The wrestling team uses the flu as an excuse.
Basketball team???
Basketball team???
He plays with a cavalier attitude - the soft passes, walking the ball up when we are down 15 points, bad shots, defensive mistakes - maybe he is sick. But we really need him to play with more urgency
Bench did a good job with Bennett on the bench.
Announcers trying to make illness excuses as to why certain guys either saw very limited minutes (Manwayu) or didn't play at all (Hausen), but if Hausen was too sick to play today then why was he dressed and wasn't even wearing his warmup shirt in that last timeout??
Just baffling.
Just baffling.
Iowa obviously needs Stirtz to shoot the horrible shots. Can’t have Hausen in there stealing the bad shots Stirtz is putting up.
Hindsight... Leave him on the bench. Comeback was while he was out. Reward those guys
Since they only called something like 3 on Illinois most of the way through the 2nd, didn't seem like sound strategy.
Oh, look who shows up after a loss to cheer for said loss.
SIAP
Koch 4-12 FG isn’t going to work
Stirtz 5-17 FG even worse!
BM needs to figure something out in terms of Stirtz on the ball and where Koch is on the floor

Didn't look close, did they?Since they only called something like 3 on Illinois most of the way through the 2nd, didn't seem like sound strategy.
Yea. We clearly need those high percentage 3pt pump fakes then leaning 3 pt attempts.
Just terrible shots
