Good run. We controlled that game from start to finish really. Lucky bank shot. Not much you can do. Biggest moment of the game I’m disappointed in is that long rebound Kopp got with 2:30 left and IU up three. He hoists it. Gotta pull that out. You’re a senior. You’re 2-11 from the field. Ugh. Shoulda coulda.

Gotta guard the three point line. That’s the only way they get this back. Love to see Phin come in to help break this press. Let’s go boys. Close.

Breaking news: Iowa wants to shoot threes. Might want to make them drive the ball.

Respectfully disagree. MK and PS stand around the perimeter on offense so stripes have nothing to call. Iowa hunts threes and neither MK/PS can stay with their man around screens, so refs make no difference on that end either. They are a net negative to this team right now

Won’t happen. But IF we start X/RP/TG/Race/TJD to start the second half > we build a 10-12 point lead by the under 16 TO. If we start our starting five > IU will be down 2-3 pts at the first TO.

My daily Kopp/Stewart shooting update: combined 0-9 FG. Must be their defense earning them minutes…

Big confidence booster for Tamar there. Without JG, his minutes are big.

We really miss JG. Kopp is giving us zero. I want to go on record as being a huge opponent of the 2 first half fouls out for the half strategy.

He’s moving around well on the bench. Maybe precautionary. Don’t think it’s serious.

MSU and Wiscy doing their best to test the theory that defense wins championships. A combined 26 points through 13 minutes of play. Ugly basketball.

4 on 1.

Is Illinois really doing a synchronized floor slap? That’s Duke-level douchebaggery.

PS/MK: 2-6 FG RP/TG: 6-10 FG But sure, let’s run them out there for the first 6 minutes of each half.

Okay, we survived the first five minutes of the half that we have to play with our worst lineup for some reason. Time to get a team on the floor that can win basketball games.

Here’s an “if a tree falls in the woods..” question: if PS hits two threes but gives up three easy buckets getting torched on the defensive end - do the threes really matter? Give me Phin’s defense and let PS watch from the pine.

Please. Use this timeout to sub out the Kopp/Stewart lineup for this last defensive stand.

Our defense is really good right now. Phin/X/Gallo playing the passing lanes great.

Good start. This is the timeout I wish we’d see Geronimo or TG come in and play D to stop the coming Illinois run. Let MK and PS feel good on the bench for a few minutes having hit an early shot.

If it isn’t obvious already to everyone, XJ is the best player on our basketball team. Don’t let your early season memories cloud your judgement.

Defense closes games out. Not offense.

Then you need to go back and watch from when we were down 17 and take notes. Rob, X, Galloway and Geronimo’s defense is why we are where we are.

Alright, got the lead by playing D. Put Phin back in for Kopp.

Bardo need to grow a backbone and call it a bad call like he sees it. Sad.

Hmm. How weird. A defensive lineup helps us make a little run. What a new concept. Would be nice to start a half without our two defensive liabilities to see what happens.

Kopp and Stewart’s defense is borderline comical.
