Take over Gallo!! LIFT the rest of the team instead of playing down to their energy level!!!

Put a big at midcourt to beat the press. It will force a defender to help or leave the ball handler 1v1 to be the press. That was taught in the 4th grade.

His back is looking great while defending Murray. We still can't rebound but we'll find a way to blame something else for this performance.

TJD's back looked pretty good there. Will we get someone in the middle of the press or keep passing it back and forth. We could make them pay for pressing or just hope to get it across half court.

Will a leader step up here or do we roll over? Things were great when we were hitting and they were making mistakes. Do we dig deep to force momentum to change or just be happy with once having the lead?

How wide open was Murray?! Ouch

We're not competing on the boards. Do we know how?

See the ball just bouncing there on the court. Glad we decided to collect after Iowa folded.

Can he still rebound?!

Even the numerous errors while he was sitting on the bench? It's easy to single him out because he had several boneheaded mistakes. He didn't get a 10 second violation, cause the other bad turnovers, or not rebound in his area. He messed up but there is blame to go around.

Stop, he doesn't have all these turnovers nor has he missed on these rebounds. He has struggled in some areas and made some bad mistakes.

Again, it's not the losing it's the not competing. Just like in this game, we threw the first punch and stunned Iowa. They returned it with a punch. Are we going to wilt or fight back? Feeling like we're not punching back. We've completely stopped competing on the defensive boards, started tossing the ball all over the gym, and are thinking about curling up. Have we truly changed and will fight or revert back to the last few years?

Because basketball is a contact sport. In the Big 1.o, it's somewhere between a contact and a violent sport.

Hopefully not too serious

Stopped moving and started watching TJD on offense

Because he's a freshman and it worked in high school. Definitely something he needs to work on. Make a decision and go.

Great start but Iowa's probably going to make a bit of a run. Add in Franimal getting a few calls after his outburst. Long game but couldn't ask for a better start.

Fantastic start!! Really like limiting them to one attempt. We have size but lacked the want to early in the season. That defensive rebound by Race is effort. Compete!! Don't lose!!

I'm soooo for this

Wondering when helmets will be mandatory for Big 1.o basketball games

Cool to see Coach Walker give a shout out to the people who actually did the work (guessing here) and not someone who provided a signature or initials for the work to done.

That would be fantastic. $2 mil is a step in the right direction

This is cringe. Ditto for the stuff on social media sent to players.

Hummel mentioned something about Illinois needing to stop fouling on the broadcast. From a biased perspective, it sounded like he was taking a jab at the officiating. He made some other comments during the game about it. I didn’t watch the game closely but it was a typical Big 1.o home cooking officiating.

Tough to win on the road in the ACC, three ranked teams went on the road and lost by an average of 14 points
