This team plays hard

lol... Sure they do Cav. Anyways you can reverse the jinx of this season? Oh wait, nvm. I'm sure we all want this to end asap. Even though it didnt matter, I hope everyone who cheered on those last four games of the regular season last year enjoys this. This is what ya get for those little 2 weeks of sped ephoria.

The team defense is absolutely embarrassing. Zero hustle, zero communication, zero toughness and to repeat Robbie Hummel…..no blocking out

They've given up. You can just see it.

I mean, no B1G team should ever lose to another B1G team by that much, especially at home.

They took their $$$ and have been coasting the whole season.

This isn't about being unmotivated because of money or any of that other crap. It sounds good but it's garbage. This is 100% about being what amounts to a bad and poorly run AAU program.

This is what it looks like when your coaches don't have a clue. It's what it looks like when the kids don't know what to do to fix a bad system that is doomed to fail no matter the talent. It's what it looks like when the kids know the coaches give them no chance to win. It looks chaotic and lethargic. You've all seen this at the club and high school level. Haven't you? Well, I have, and this is exactly what it looks like. Nothing more, nothing less.

What Liam McNeely said was super evident last night - just making shit up going one on one isn't real basketball. You could see us doing that all night long, usually ending in a missed fade away jumper. Illinois moved the ball and themselves and let their offense create the space to shoot and the cracks to attack and the room to cut.

It's a garbage organization and the players, some of whom aren't high IQ players to begin with, are screwed. Period. It's 100% garbage coaching. It will never matter how much is spent on players or which players are brought in. Ever.

I doubt that. Timid.

 

[Cavanagh]

Yes. My fault they suck.

 

[kkott]

Yes. My fault they suck.

We're glad you see it too!

 

[UTFO]

Yes. My fault they suck.

It's for the best, and I don't hold it against your for being optimistic. I'm actually envious of optimists.

The good news: 2025-2026 will see a new regime.

Let's savor this rare moment of unanimity.

I think the team cares but I haven't seen much of them playing hard or with any sense of urgency. A couple of spurts here or there but that's it.

One of these decades the IUBB pessimists will be wrong.

I don't blame the players one bit. A good coach, hell a mediocre coach, would have this exact same group in the top 5 of the BIG right now. A great coach and they would be winning the BIG.

It's a rudderless ship with a clueless captain. These guys are too talented and it's sad they are being wasted.

they might but I know Galloway doesn't know shit about blackjack. In that picture he did not take the "3rd base" seat at the time, the most important seat of all. I know that and I don't even play blackjack. My expertise is playing the craps table. 😁

Woody said AGAIN last night ... "I just need to get them ready to play ..... blah blah blah"

 

[VanPastorMan]

Yes. My fault they suck.

We forgive you friend.

I take a lot of heat on here and I like to stir the pot with some posters but I tried to tell you guys…but I was told to watch and learn lol
