On a side bar maybe Jordan was right comparing Nigel Johnson to Magic Johnson. Wish he was here

1-for-6. Yeah, bringin’ it tonight. Big time players in big time games ... or is it when the going gets tough? Yeah, the NBA scouts are salivating after that last drive and brick.
He's hustling like a D-1 player. The rest of the guys have mailed it in. Thiam scared shitless to take a shot, Freeman out of control, Corey out of control, no fvcking clue.
Stop with the nonsense blaming fans for another abysmal performance .The coaching staff and the players need to be held accountable for the way the team performs .
Pikiell is accountable for the play of his recruits - Thiam, Mensah, Doucoure. Is it pathetically embarrassing or embarrassingly pathetic?
Not so sure about this extension for Pike. Maybe jumped the gun a little too early??
Mike Williams absence is becoming even more evident. I think it had more to do with his leadership and work ethic. The team fed off of that kind of workman like effort and senior leadership. This team is completely rudderless right now. Freeman and Sanders are not accepting those leadership roles and it shows.
Unfortunately, this season is lost. Sanders has dissapeared and losing Williams was too much to handle. No depth
Thiam is not a B1G player on offense. He would thrive on a low major. We saw that in the OOC where he actually scored down low. Love his D though.
Baker has hit the wall, too much pressure on him. In reality, he should have been a 15-20 minute player and 3rd or 4th option to score.

Mike Williams goes down and this team implodes. To be blown out by a $hitty, and I mean a $hitty IIlinois team is disgraceful. After seeing Corey play like **** the last two games, he can go after this season. I won't miss him. He hasn't learn squat about improving his jump shot. Everything is short. Freeman? WTF? He plays like he doesn't give a ****. Mensa? Bye bye. Bullock? Bye bye.
Thiam needs to put on 25 pounds. He plays like a ***** out there.
Williams was the true leader of this team. Evident that they imploded when he went down.
Now with Eugene out, who will lead?
How am i blaming the fans. Try reading more slowly.
Just saying many of them suck. Worse than the team.
Sanders shooting is shockingly bad. His shooting form is straight up broke. It’s actully gotten worse since his frosh year...
I get that Williams was very valuable and him not being there forces Mensah to play. That’s huge. But let’s face it, Williams was not having a great year and he wasn’t even starting and seemed to play limited minutes in some games.
This shitshow is not mostly due to the absence of Williams. It looks like players are doing whatever the hell they want out there. ..some defintiely more than others. No leadership is apparent from players or coaches right now.
