Should put Walker back in with Dainja on the bench. 

Just put Juwan at the 5. Keita is killing us. 6 missed easy points because of him is the difference right now.

Huge minutes for KT

ref shows suck

 

[Bugeaters1]

That was a play on.

[REDZONEDAN]

I hate Big Ten refs!  They’re freaking terrible!

[hskr4life]

Guarantee they will let them beat the hell out of each other in the 2nd half.

Wilcher’s lack of quickness is a liability on defense…

Wish we could hit our free throws at home as well as road teams do at our home 

[Bugeaters1]

This will be what the second half will look like.

 

[hskr4life]

Have to keep this in the 6-10 range at half.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Sam is forcing it too much

[hskr4life]

How the F do you call a foul on the block when you are the ref on the other side of the court by the scorers table!?!?!

[hskr4life]

This is bad.

[Bugeaters1]

That's gonna hurt.

 

 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

If Gary is done, that’s really bad. Also, Sam is trying to force things too much…

[hskr4life]

How is there like 30 fouls this half and we only have 5 FTs?

[Bugeaters1]

3-7 on ft

 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Illinois going to go with Hack a Sam. My God his free throw attempts tonight have been ugly. 

[B1G Red]

There are a lot of nights where it feels like the shots are there but we just can’t him em. Tonight’s not one of those nights. We’ve got to try something different in the 2nd.

[Handy Johnson]

If you could’ve drawn up a worse case scenario first half, we checked a LOT of boxes.

Just lucky Illinois played like poo too.  Need Gary back.

[millerhusker]

Why in the hell would you go to a clearout for CJ with the last possession of the half. He's been so soft and indecisive with the ball. Empty possession waiting to happen. 

 

Just an awful half. Sam is making poor decisions. Missed layups. We're scared to shoot. Many of our fouls were just dumb fouls. Defensive breakdowns. Awful. I expect a much better second half. 

[REDZONEDAN]

Is it just me or does it seem like we have a terrible possession at the end of the first half quite often?

[hskr4life]

I'm thinking our max win total in the B1G will be 9-- because we play like absolute dog poo every other game.
