This Illinois team is marginal at best. Too bad Iowa went lockstep in decreasing talent.

I think if nothing else, Fran has shown his evaluation of his bench players has been poor this year. Better defense and energy sitting there next to him early in the year.
I thought watching middle school basketball all night was bad
that was an upgrade over this

Is Fran still coach? I've closed my eyes and hoped and everything....
Dix and Big Sandfort playing shitty all but guarantees an Iowa loss.
Losing the same way every game is hard and tedious work, okay?
Fran should be celebrated and given a lifetime extension.
Which is why I teased it up to 11.5
Illinois 6-22 for 3s....and most were wide open. Could be a 30 point blowout right now

I can’t watch. I could feel it slipping away down 11. Down almost 20. No one in double figures.
Iowa City is closer to Champaign than our defense is on three point attempts.
Once again Fran has them fired up in the 2nd half on the road 💩
You shoul open your eyes and get over you special love for Harding. He might have been a good High School player. He's a backup quality PG at this level. Don't take it personal---unless you are him Dad or family friend or relative.
Send the team back home after the game, Fran, and you can head east a bit to be with the boys.

Payton cares about 1 thing: getting his. I'm sick of it
Missing the B1G tournament will help Frans B1G tournament.... So there's that...
(guaranteed one and done this year if they make the tournament anyway)

why does Illinois keep shooting 3's
just attack the basket, Iowa has no defense for that

So is Fran gone or not?
Time to address the elephant in the room.
What do we have, insiders?

Iowa should never play zone, they don't have the basketball IQ to do so, it is embarrassing
I'm at a point where let's just "leave no doubt". This shit has to end
Sandfort very quiet game tonight. Most of his shots have been forced and well off the mark.
Yes, his halftime talks must put players into a trance. I think it reflects the players may like Fran but have lost confidence in him as a coach. But JMO

Beth is at the game, there's no way she can not address the elephant in the room, Fran and his staff need to go, 15 year is far and away enough time to make the second week in the NCAA tournament.
Wow...I thought there were shooting better. Yeah, getting blown out on road by a team shooting 6-22 from 3 is not something good teams do.
Our stars Dix and Sandfort are not physically strong enough/athletic enough/mentally strong enough to bring it on the road. Sandfort was lucky to hit the rim on his last forced 3....would have been 3 Airballs in this game if he'd missed the rim.
Burn it down.
Being on target with his follow through has always amazed me. Snaps the wrist to the side and somehow expects the ball to go straight.
