Illinois beat these guys by 55 points. I'm sure we will win but I'm not feeling an NCAA team watching our team play game after game.
JSU is so bad on offense…. I’m not sure how playing them helps us. I still see a lot of the same lapses on D but we get away with it today.
I wonder if there’s a bug going around the team. Several guys look sluggish. The rotation seems a bit different. And Bennerman isn’t even on the bench.
I can forgive a little rust after finals. We're cold from three. I approach this as a tune-up game.
Still surprised how little KJ plays. And when he does doesn't score very much. Thought he would make the big freshmen to sophomore jump but it doesn't appear that way
Love Page's passing. Not many big men with that kind of court awareness.
And 200 wins for Coach Collins!
His height really helps because he can shoot over people. His offensive awareness is goid and his D is coming around. He hustles.
Stunned! Well, at least today.
He's gotta have some type of injury, right? Only one minute in the first half of a blowout?
I was convinced heading into the season that this team would go as far as KJ goes. Gulp!
Well, if he can’t fill it up, how does he fit in? Can’t rebound like Gelo, can’t play D like Mullins, can’t set up the offense as a PG like West, and can’t shoot like Green. He isn’t even close to aggressive on offense anymore and CCC yanked him quickly after he blew an assignment in the Defensive end in one of the first possessions on that end. Major Chateau Bow Wow and he needs to work his way out of it!
I had tickets to this game, and was planning to make the trip to Chicago to watch, with the family, but my wife woke up with what I assume is a bad case of the flu. 
I am a little disappointed because this was going to be the best seats I have ever had to a college game ever. Instead I had to sell the tickets at a decent loss.

THat's the opposite of true, especially in football, guys are fighting to keep their redshirts because it creates a very lucrative fifth year opportunity. NIL and the portal is making redshirts extremely valuable.
