Brakefield needs to get in this game.. he has shown he can be a spark and do things on both ends

I remember worrying last year about what this years team would look like. We have a lot of growing to do.

I'm not concerned in the slightest how we look right now. I'm concerned in how little we've grown as a team throughout the season the last few years.

It doesn’t look like we run plays. I know we do but it’s so sloppy. Big guy gets the ball at the 3 pt line and hands off while kinda screening. Then the guy with the ball drives (doesn’t really get by his guy) and misses a contested shot. We’re not even good in the open floor. Hoping for some improvements soon...

We're averaging about a point a minute. That's good if this was football...

I'm actually not even impressed with Illinois. We just look that bad right now.

we havent matched their intensity on either end of the floor. We seem to be guessing a bit on what to do. Only the 4th game, lots of work to do...Michigan State/Illini is a tough back to back games ( the lay up game in between was more of a scrimmage)

Better! I like Johnson and hurt as the 4-5 this game.. Kofi doesn’t want to come to the perimeter and on defense Johnson is athletic enough to bother Kofi

ACC/B10 challenge could be 6-1 B10 by the end of the night! Far cry from past years when ACC dominated

Hard to watch. Freshmen really need to feed off of the energy the crazies bring. Without that they just look like they are going through the motions without any intensity
