Hostile environment? There wasn’t any fans in the stands. If there would have been, IU would have lost by 20.today was encouraging , today we proved can play with anyone, very hostile environment , big 10 refs , not ready to give up on the season yet
And that's why we are that bad. We. Can't. Shoot.We could have won today if we didn’t miss about 10 shots from 4 feet. We seemed intimidated at the rim.

I realize Rob is a good kid, but there’s a reason Painter backed away from him out of high school. He’s very limited and needs to see the floor less.And that's why we are that bad. We. Can't. Shoot.
Every game will be a struggle--yes, we might win a few where we have an uncharacteristic night where we actually do hit the broad side of a barn. But this is what our team is (and really has been since Arch took over).
So, yeah, we are that bad. And it could get worse.
painter didn't back away , that's just stupid, did arch back away from kaufmannI realize Rob is a good kid, but there’s a reason Painter backed away from him out of high school. He’s very limited and needs to see the floor less.
And Archie continued to recruit Garland.I realize Rob is a good kid, but there’s a reason Painter backed away from him out of high school. He’s very limited and needs to see the floor less.
I agree! Missed a few at close range and then you have to consider tjd sitting in the second half. Armaan losing one off his knee was two for Illinois and the 3 tossed in by dosunmu as the time clock expired... that’s 5 points there.We could have won today if we didn’t miss about 10 shots from 4 feet. We seemed intimidated at the rim.
I don’t see many wins left on schedule from what I have seen from this team. We have to many guys that play a ton of minutes and have zero production.I'm starting to sway towards the 10th to 12th place finish..
Something big has to change..What I don't know ?
There was definitely some good in this game. I appreciate him giving some guys more time. Gotta get in the game to see some things on film. Let’s get back to 2-2 next week. I’m doubting tjd is as limited against psu and maryland as he was today.Not happy that IU lost, but I was expecting a blowout. There was some good from this game, but down the stretch was brutal. IU needs that alpha player that the illini had. IU shot 39.7 from 2; 38.9 from 3 & 77.8 from the line. Archie experimented with the line ups and still needs to continue tweaking. RP & AD should NOT be on the floor at the same time. HOPEFULLY, IU builds on this and continues to improve, rather than retorting to the no shows we have seen in the past.
MP backed away from RP.Miller went hard for TK but was behind the curve for months. Kaufman didn’t want to be a low post, back to the basket clone of TJD.painter didn't back away , that's just stupid, did arch back away from kaufmann

He must have fallen for FS1’s fake crowd noise.I agree on the hostile environment. The 41 fans really had the place rocking
Hostile environment? Did your mom drop you on your head?today was encouraging , today we proved can play with anyone, very hostile environment , big 10 refs , not ready to give up on the season yet
Bigger crowds around court 1 at the hper.Hostile environment? Did your mom drop you on your head?

The coach need to change ASAP, although I don't see that happening before 2022.I'm starting to sway towards the 10th to 12th place finish..

Not going to win many scoring 60 pointsIf we play like that every game, we will win more than we lose going forward. Let's win the next two and go from there
Slow down on that..see me in 5 years, coper jacoby will be in the the nba from that silver creek team
Our shooting isn’t what got us. They had more attempts at the stripe and out rebounded us. We held them to their worst shooting of the season. We missed a ton of easy shots in the paint. We are now starting to find some range with Franklin.And that's why we are that bad. We. Can't. Shoot.

BS. If we play like that we will go 7-13. We needed to play quite a bit better to win that game, and ILL is probably the 5th-7th best team in this conference..If we play like that every game, we will win more than we lose going forward. Let's win the next two and go from there

What “shooting” are you talking about? If it’s in the paint then yes. The three point shooting was consistent. We his 35% which is pretty average. That’s all you can ask.Our shooting is why we lost to NW, and it was worse today. And it's been a problem all year.
I'm not displeased with our defense.

They might be but they have that streaky firepower that will win and blow up on some teams.BS. If we play like that we will go 7-13. We needed to play quite a bit better to win that game, and ILL is probably the 5th-7th best team in this conference..
Disagree. Wisc/ Illinois/ Iowa are the three best this year. Illinois has two guys that will go in next year's draft. We don't have one.

Rutgers NW Minnesota Ohio State or MSU would not surprise me if they were better than Ill, and I bet 2 of them will be. Conference is loaded. Rutgers just beat ILL.
Never say I quit!Baylor is the only other team to hold Illinois to under 70 points (also 69). Archie being the best young defensive coach in college basketball is what carries me through,
