After a few hours, it kind of hits me that I'd love for Rob to finish his career on a high note these last several games. He has been through quite a bit at this point with the program and I'm sure his IU dreams never really materalized. He has given a lot to this program and this recent tear he is on is basically.. delightful to watch. This season is basically not going anywhere we want so let's just enjoy this team for what it is and root like hell them in the NIT. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Archie knows about 50x more than I do about basketball but u have to wonder what Green could have helped us with to free up some offense. However, Newkirk has an edge defensive I think with his strength. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Calm down, Rob played some fantastic defense and ripped in 21(?) points with some very difficult shots to keep us hanging around. Other than a turnover and a head scratching scoop shot (which he is usually good with), he played a fantastic game. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Ok, this is fun Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Lol just... [emoji23] just wow... Devonte with the fastball stinger at Morgan's ankles. Shaken up transition, primed for the overtime tie or the win from Rojo.... I can't even deal with Devonte Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Just get this thing to overtime and finish these goobers Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Hahahahahahha, finish us off refs Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Just an absolute terrible decision by Devonte. He literally plays out of control 75% of the time. 10 secs to go in the game and he stops at half court to see what the play is from coach, lmao.. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Go shoot the fn 3 devonte!!!! Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

REALLY DEVONTE Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

MORGAN TIME Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Everyone is thinking the same thing.. just shoot 70% on free throws and we are in the lead lol Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Not even mad about Green tripping up there. He has been the only reason our offense was clicking most of the night. Really, this is all free throws and A TERRIBLE GAME PLAN TO NOT GET MORGAN INVOLVED FOR THE FINAL 7 MINS Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Sorry Archie, should have been using the timeouts to get everyone on the same page with 5 to go. Not with 1 min, down 8 Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

I can't believe I took a nap to stay up for this. Absolute garbage second half, no resolve or patience on offense. We've been dribbling for 20 to 25 secs every possession. Archie, call a timeout and get these guys heads straight Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Literally, best game plan for Illinois to win, just foul us Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Oh cool, free throws aka turnovers Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Ok.. these calls are getting out of hand Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

We should all just head to bed honestly. You can tell this game already has loss all over it. Newkirk can't play anymore. Green plays from.here out, as much as that pains me to say Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

So glad we pulled another grinder out in the face of some incredibly suspect calls toward the end. Watching this Ilinois and Mich St game, we need to be clicking I think. Illinois defense looks like it's no joke Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

I mean, how can anyone not have a raging man crush on Juwan at this point lol? Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Yea people just gotta accept that Jan is gonna end real bad. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Not sure what anyone expected. State is a legit team, really good defense and we are on their court after a sore loss. This is going exactly how I thought. We're fine. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

To me, all that means is the reality of IU no longer being a blue blood. We would just be another school, like Purdue, Iowa, Miami Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Definitely an interesting year but way be better playing a little smaller and quicker overall. It's obviously not going to happen at this point but if we could just get freaking Newkirk or Green OR ANYONE to have a light go on from 3, it would help on a good scale. I mention Newkirk because it seemed he ended the last several big ten games, last year, hitting 3s at a decent clip, like 40% or so. Or somehow get Rojo playing more pissed off. He has a good drive game really. Not super crafty but uses his strength well. He really needs to just utilize a 5 foot jumper but I understand trying to draw fouls too. And I realize I'm a bit off topic lol Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app
