Marquette up 1 with 15 seconds left.

Shaka Smarts win by 1.

Illinois with some horrible possessions down the stretch -- 26 total turnovers. Wow.

Curbelo turns it over. Orange CRUSHED.

Where is Ayo when you need him

Marquette pulls it out despite shooting 3-for-9 from the foul line after the last media timeout. Total choke job by Illini

Announcer mentions Curbelo needs the ball and to create. He proceeds to turn it over on the last 30,000 possessions.

Lol yep.   Curbelo will win them a lot of games however his refusal to pass the ball on drives is probably going to cost them some games.  Especially in March 

Yeah, he’s an enigma.  
 

That said, I wouldn’t read too much into a loss without Cockburn.

Belmont/Furman in OT.   Internet is down my feed is froze. Not happy 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,691]

Curbelo is single-handedly trying to lose the game for Illinois. He is 4-17 with a ton of turnovers. Mean while Frazier has hit 6 threes but curbelo refuses to get him the ball .
66-65 Illinois with 2 to go 

Told my wife the same thing

Really wish the Wiscy program would get nuked. They set the Big 1.0 back with their football on a basketball floor style.

Belmont wins it in OT and I’m back up and running.   Really good mid major teams need to schedule these type of games if they have any chance of getting an at-large bid.  More need to do this

N Texas up 1 on Buffalo with 3:24 to go 

2 good mid majors playing in the non conference 

[IUc2016 7,121]

Wisconsin is bad. I’m sure IU will still lose to them, but they are really bad.

Buffalo with a huge road win.  Definitely a Q2 win when it’s all said and done and could possibly be a Q1

Wisconsin with only 23 at the half. They have zero inside scoring options.

The Great Andre Curbelo’s stat line? 
4-18 fg, 7 turnovers

Agreed, my case for modest Illinois skepticism this year is they’re too dependent on Curbelo, who can’t shoot even when the other stuff is working. And Kofi, for all his positive contributions, is also not a shooter outside six feet.

As we know from watching Archie teams, it’s hard to win when your best players can’t shoot. Still think UI is a top 20 team, just probably not top 10.

Think you can make a case that IU might “surprise” a bit this year just based on a soft non-conference schedule, and a B1G that’s spotty beyond its top two teams.

I think IU’s alright, but if Illinois, OSU, Maryland, and MSU aren’t as good as we thought, and Nebraska hasn’t taken a leap, and UMass thumped PSU, and Wisconsin…anyway, some of these results are just bad games. But in other cases…

[IUc2016 7,121]

Not a good night for the big ten. Illinois loses to Marquette, Penn state loses by 25 to UMASS, and Wisconsin down 11 at half on their home floor to providence.
