At the game,  can't play d.  1 official has called 90% of the fouls. Just ridiculous

Year 17 of brick laying. Year 12 of prolonged scoring droughts. Nothing changes.

Need to make Shannon play defense. With the way they are calling fouls, Illinois will be in trouble.

23 foul shots, 16 by IL.  Refs are making this hard to watch

Our lack of offense is making this hard to watch....

Yet both teams have 12 fouls. Somehow all of the fouls on NU are shooting fouls.

Defense without Gary playing is like the offense without Walker playing. They're ok to alright when both can play, but can be absolutely atrocious without them.

When you hang your hat on defense, and are so offensively challenged, and you don't even close out on your home court vs. 3's......

It's pretty tough to defend Hoiberg in year 4.....Trev may have to shift some focus and money onto a new basketball coach.

With 8 minutes left in the game, the 2nd half has been like the opposite of the Iowa game. Sometimes the other team can just hit their shots. The thing that's worrying about this performance is the lack of urgency on the defensive glass. Maybe this is where Gary getting hurt is most felt.

Wilcher is a liability on Def.  Lack of hustle tonight.  Gary on the bench was a killer.

Wilcher has been exposed this season, imo.  He's always been a bench guy.  Now hes a starter, hes not good enough to be that guy unless hes giving us 15 ppg...he's just a 15 minute guy that can provide a spark. Which is not a slight to him,  it's just who he is.  And that's ok.

He's had the yips all year...save for a few games.

Start Lawrence.   He's waaay more athletic, better defender and I'd argue a better shooter.

That first half was ugly, thanks to the refs.

I did not expect it to turn into such a blowout.
