IUBB vs Illinois - Tuesday, 01.14.25 @ 7:00 on Peacock

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Illinois shooting 50% from the field and 50% on 3s.  I thought this was a home game for us.

Show of hands please.  How many think we'll go into Columbus, OH next Friday night and return with a win?    Yeah, that's what I thought.

[Mopladysman]

Glad it wasn’t my 6 million.

Down 30 with 23 minutes to go. Not a good spot for a team that doesn't like to shoot the 3pt ball

We are 0-6 from the three and at least five of them were wide open shots. We don’t take many threes combined with not being able to make enough of the ones we do take.

[AZ Hoosier]

They're making their move... cut the deficit to 25 with 90 seconds to go in the half.

And Illinois have rebounded 70% of those 50% missed.

Randy Wittman busy still in the NBA? Buckner good friends with him and wanting to give him a shot at HC? Maybe we can have an alumni raffle for the position?

Randy is already swindling money from the university. He’s a consultant.

Absolutely not.   That’s as big of an excuse as the many MW comes up with.  It’s poor coaching, poor game preparation, poor fundamentals, poor execution.  I just watched a play where Illinois kept getting lose balls and rebounds and all we were doing is standing around 

No pressure if you’re down 30 lol

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

I feel so bad for Fisch.  He's trying to keep his broadcast upbeat despite what's taking place on the court.

So he won't have to go far

We need to get it under 20 by halftime!

[DChoosier]

A hour before the game I told my wife I felt like I was going to a job I hated but it’s been worse than that !?!

Why?

[LamarCheeks]

I recall seeing a preseason ranking of B1G coaches. I think Woody was 15th of 18. 

Clearly he was overrated. 

[Jeff Flabjohns]

Getting punked lmaooo

[OKHOOSIER]

60 points in a half of college basketball by a road team is nasty work. 

[Papacap]

Keeping it under 30 was crucial. Make a couple of shots and we got this. 

[Hovadipo]

Jakai could sit in the corner in his sweatsuit and give more productive minutes than 9. What a joke. Boo their asses until he’s gone. 

[kreigh8]

Not a bad half, we scored 32 points! Just gave up 60 - clean that up and we're so good!
