  1. 36-19 at the under 4 timeout. Missed free throws are a problem. 
  2. 23-10 at the under 8 timeout.      Held them more than 6 minutes without scoring, though they've taken some bad shots. 
  3. We're actually looking to feed the post today. It's like watching another team. 
  4. Yogi still playing like his mind is on the beach. 
  5. Not sure if I saw this mentioned anywhere, but the possibility of playing Chaminade tomorrow should be all the motivation these guys need to win today. Not because playing for 7th place would be embarrassing enough, but because beating D-2 Chaminade wouldn't count on our postseason tournament resumé. 
  6. It's way too early for me to be in that stage, but I worry I'll reach my breaking point even earlier this season. It happened last year when we went 10 minutes without scoring in the second half at Northwestern. I turned the game off and didn't watch another second of IU basketball until last week.      I kind of wish I could be in Maui just so I could throw a coconut at Crean's head. 
  7. Hopefully we score more points than we give up. 
  8. Illinois now down 13 in the second half. Wow. 
  9. I think it'll be like last year. At some point in January, about two months from now, we'll be something like 16-5 and only a game out of first place in the Big Ten and everyone will act like tonight is nothing more than a memory. Then we'll begin our inevitable slide, just like we do every year. 
  10.   Chicago St. is #343 in Kenpom. Their 3 wins are against IU-Northwest, Illinois Tech and Trinity International. Their one game against a D-1 opponent, they lost to Iowa State 106-64.      I know Illinois has some guys injured, but seriously, being down 8 at the half to that team is embarrassing. 
  11.     Called it. 
  12. See you guys at 2:00 tomorrow. Pathetic showing tonight. 
  13. The game winner will be a layup. Unless we foul. 
  14. Starting to feel like a game where we think it's over and we end up losing by 2 or 3. 
  15. And after those timeouts…back to back turnovers. 
  16. I'm afraid these timeouts are going to slow us down. 
  17. We keep missing open/easy shots that would extend the lead. Such a frustrating game. 
  18. Just had a thought: was that missed dunk the first 2 point shot Bryant has missed this year?
  19. Just one of those days, isn't it? 
  20. I'd be a little more excited about this run if Wake Forest hadn't missed 3 layups. 
  21. New defensive strategy: just rely on them missing layups!
  22. Anyone else having flashbacks to the Eastern Washington game? That game was layup after layup after layup after layup and we looked totally helpless trying to stop it. I won't be able to watch if we're playing tomorrow night, but we might not be playing tomorrow night after all...
  23. Fitting end to the first half. We can't defend anything. Maybe we can hold St. John's to less than 70 tomorrow.
