IU is much easier watching while high. 

If it weren't like 1pm I would have been hitting the sauce after that first half.

Great to see Jakai get in!

[Muskie plays the four 48]

What do they need to win by to be net positive ? 

[str8baller 5,133]

Heavy dose of the top 6-7 guys has made the difference. 3 of the top 6 need to be on the floor at all times.

Spread was 27.5, we're up 28 right now. Illinois beat these guys by 45, so I'd like to win by at least 30.

Nothing will erase the first half. Matching Illinois 50pt win might help the box score watchers.

Trey Galloway has a game-high 8 assists in 17 minutes on the floor.

Was there boos on the missed free throw?

I heard that too.

Man, I feel bad for Carlyle. Had a perfect opportunity for the alley oop, went to lay it up, hit every part of the rim and rolled out. Kid just can't buy a bucket.

So much for the supposed depth of this team.

Wanted Jakai to make that one. 

Probably thought too much about it.

That's not something you would know until the end of the season.  You just want to be in some general spread where you envision it being what a tournament team would be.

[DChoosier 8,057]

It’s just the way it is these days but I’m not a fan of the current reality that winning by 35 is better than 25 for tourney ranking/seeds/etc.

Yeah but he's got 4TO

I think it is there but needs deployed situationally. And if Galloway weren’t playing so well the last couple games there’s a chance the bench unit would look even weaker.

 

Tucker is a good example. He looks good today, but is an odd fit because what we really need is outside shooting and ballhandling, which are not his strong suits.

StatTracker indicates just 2

The only thing you can do after a brutal first half is to correct it in the second half.

[DChoosier 8,057]

54-18 in the second half.

1. Play Gallo more.  Start him.

2. Run in transition, all the time. 

3. Trust your teammates and feed the man standing open at the 3 point line. 

4. Get Mgbako 7 or 8 3s a game.  

5. Hustle all the time. On defense.
