We missed too many free throws. Archived Message Posted by illini on January 19, 2025, 14:12:25, in reply to "Beat Sparty! thread. *" Frustrating but understandable loss overall. I wanted the timeout on the last possession but understand the idea of not wanting the defense to get set. Sort of felt like slowing down to burn clock worked against us though and disrupted our offensive rhythm. Need to go on a run. Can’t let any more losses pile up in this stretch.

It should be within reason but this is an entertainment product. - OB25 January 22, 2025, 14:20:38 Disagree wholeheartedly. The situation and the player should not affect rule interpretation.* - ATL January 22, 2025, 14:25:32 Finally had a chance to watch the game. This will be unpopular, but - voiceofreason January 20, 2025, 20:40:47 His ball screen defense is hit or miss too. - WhitmansFolly January 20, 2025, 22:12:23 I would love to see his FG% at the rim numbers. Some of what he puts up should count as a turnover - meanjeans January 20, 2025, 20:54:46 I’m less concerned about the layups than the awful three heaves and inability to be - voiceofreason January 20, 2025, 21:01:12 He currently leads the team in 2PA per game in B1G play and 2nd only to KJ in FGA overall - meanjeans January 20, 2025, 21:36:40 I’d settle for him just having a green light on non-dribble 3s.

That is something he has to get smarter about* - Blazer January 20, 2025, 18:56:29 I was thinking back to how bad our defense was last year and that a big part of it was… - OB25 January 20, 2025, 19:31:04 I think it's partly because in earlier games he got a ton of contact - WhitmansFolly January 20, 2025, 19:17:13 correct, especially if he’s going to be a lottery pick.* - Ari Gold January 20, 2025, 19:03:25 That has literally nothing to do with his draft position.

Other than Riley early, this was an almost everything that could go against us did - John Coctostan January 20, 2025, 11:10:33 15-5 or better is on the table.

Then we got High-Pockets.. :-( * - osklister January 20, 2025, 10:34:53 Finally able to watch full thing. Just absurd officiating from the jump. The two on KJ yes but - John Coctostan January 20, 2025, 10:06:30 I've come around on the 3rd one as a foul. Extremely unlucky, but still a foul - Blazer January 20, 2025, 13:34:46 Ok that’s fine but earlier in the game same thing happened to I think Boswell. No call - John Coctostan January 20, 2025, 13:45:49 Oh totally agree. Same on the 2nd foul* - Blazer January 20, 2025, 14:11:50 3rd and 4th on kj so so bad.

Fouling up three is for turds* - memyselfandillini January 19, 2025, 21:48:05 IIRC, they fouled close to the center line - why not put up a shot when you're being fouled? - ATL January 20, 2025, 9:21:04 there was a game earlier this year when a player did that - jdl January 20, 2025, 11:29:09 I think I know what BU was trying to do... - uofi1998 January 20, 2025, 10:50:56 Kylan also cut the wrong way* - Blazer January 20, 2025, 14:12:32 Much easier said than done* - CWR10 January 20, 2025, 10:42:57 there are plenty of instances where teams haven't fouled in that situation - IlliniSax05 January 20, 2025, 10:12:32 I was wondering the same. I'd expect Brad to tell them they will be fouled. If you get it close - ibdoc January 20, 2025, 9:23:09 What I think we should have done is make the 2nd FT and foul right away - timmer January 20, 2025, 8:28:25 assuming they make their FTs...they just foul us again - IlliniSax05 January 20, 2025, 8:29:42 Memphis should have against Kansas in title game* - JeffFrank January 20, 2025, 4:45:47 Found it: - JeffFrank January 20, 2025, 4:47:43 What?
