Welp... Coach Collins is getting all this praise, but he hasn't done jack yet. He will need to do some serious coaching over the next two weeks or this dream will slip away.... again.

This is absolutely pathetic. We look like a bad carmody team. Can we have a game where we set the nets on fire.

Why are you like this every game? Nobody needs your drama. Please step away from the keyboard. You're really annoying.

We can't get a good shot off. There is no way we can win.

At some point during the Lindsey injury, this offense became nothing but Bryant McIntosh dribbling the ball. It looks nothing like the ball moving team offense we had earlier. I hope they can rebound, but I don't see where we get wins 10 and 11 unless they fix some things quickly.

Good night and good luck. This team is not playing anything like earlier in the season. They are on the verge of losing for the 4th time in 6 games including a nail biter against pathetic Rutgers. Either these kids are super tight or super tired. Not sure what to do about it. They just have to get back to where they were.

Guessing super tired. That unused Vassar schlorship is hurting. Beat Indiana and all ok.

Nothing going for the Cats, but agree with Glades that Illinois is playing well.

Winning on the road is always a challenge in the Big Ten. Need to regroup and finish strong.

Our bigs should be embarrassed. Just getting out toughed every trip down the court.

Kudos to McIntosh for being the only player that looks like they want to win.

Can't do that. Grace is a fricking cartoon character and he beats us twice. We have had looks and missed them. The only thing that happens in this series the last 5 years is the worse team wins. Law and Lindsey can start the game anytime now.

You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on this board. You need me on this board!

Law seems to be invisible in big games lately. We can't ride BMac every game.

The early fouls really took Law out of the game. But he needs to deal with it and recover. Nothing from Law. Nothing from Lindsey. Noting offensively from Lumpkin. Nothing from Taphorn. Not going to win games like this, no matter who we are playing.

Statistically, it's not a bad loss, but it sure feels like one.

Its not as much the loss as I think the collective fear that this team doesn't look right and that we may be in danger. But seasons go through mini-cycles. We may get hot in the next couple of weeks and go on another good run into the tournament. But tonight it sure feels depressing.

Just checked the boxscore. The guys above are a combined 1-16 from the floor right now. Ball game.

This was the best defense played against us all season except perhaps for Purdue. We need to get tougher

True the only guys playing like winners are Mac & Pardon. How about no practices this week.

Just need to regroup and finish strong. Illinois played their A game and NU just played a game tonight.

They were all over us on defense, cutting off passing lanes and swarming all over McIntosh all game. Their defense is suffocating tonight.
