You know you've been in a ugly game when you only need an hour and 45 minutes of the 2-hour TV window.

Sisley comes in with 46 seconds to go? 

We've been out of this for the past 15 minutes. 

Give the kid some run ... 

we got it down to 12 at one point and then had one of those defensive possessions where they got 3 offensive rebounds 

[HoosierCoop]

Well that was a good smoke job on national Tv

[Banksyrules]

I miss football.

I'm sure there's learnings from the tape for the staff and players, but as a fan I'm flushing this one and looking ahead to Purdue after 5 days to rest and game plan. We've beaten them once this year. We can do it again

Was that not a travel on their last basket?  

Not when the Diaper Dandy shoots it!

[Jeff Flabjohns]

Same shooting percentages and number of fouls but outrebounded by 13. 
Come into the game small and the refs get confused how to call it. 
 

Need to get bigger next year in the front court

[Whoozhers]

Illinois, too tall. Too good.

All round butt whoopin’ today.

Moving on.

Let’s go Hoosiers!

I think Dorn is a potential starter but not a lock. 

Agree.

It would be depressing to me if Dorn was a lock to be a starter next year.

[RoadRage]

Illinois is still my pick to win it all!

Much better matchup against Purdue…but if this game doesn’t tell you the need for size this off season, don’t know what will. DeVries has to get some size in portal. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Roster limitations exposed today.  Expected.  Going to have to take care of business to sneak into the dance. Not too much fun today.

Yea…@UM and @Illinois were circled as “lost causes” basically because of the matchup issues. 
 

We played pretty bad on offense and could’ve made it closer, but that’s about it. Flush this one and move on.

Absolutely.  Hopefully they got all the bad out of their system 

[DChoosier]

I dislike Illinois but this is their 4th game that I’ve seen and have to admit they are fun to watch. Unselfish on offense, help on defense and hit the boards.

Confident everyone understands that, DeVries included

Dorn seems to be nothing more than a streaky shooter. When he’s on, he’s on..:but when he’s off, he’s just a body out there. He’s not much of a playmaker. Definitely has come back to earth after that 4 game run earlier this season.

I trust that he knows it. Today hammered it home but it’ll probably be his priority 1A in the offseason. This league requires it

I agree with this but…. He needs to drive the ball more. He’s solid I feel like attacking the basket but he doesn’t do enough of it.

Realistically team already has a decent idea of some pieces to add. There will be a few more pieces after hiring and firings. But the kids unhappy with their situation are already being contacted.
