Maybe so, but then NU should all be charged with loiteringThe Illini team should be charged with assault after that performance
yep.Men will rebound as long as Boo remains healthy. Women’s team unfortunately is doomed to stink all season.
We didn't shoot badly against Illinois, but they shot off the charts.Denial is not a river in Egypt. CSU exploited our vulnerabilities and Ill put an exclamation point on it. We can't defend the dump off and can't defend the drive without fouling. And we don't really shoot well.

That game reminded me of when my son's middle school team played Catherine Cook, the best team in the conference. They were just physically overmatched and overrun by a well-coached group hitting on all cylinders.
Yup. Or we could have fallen into Gowanus Canal.It could always be worse....

Big problem was we hit nothing (under 40%) and we let them hit everything (over 60%) despite fouling way more. The guys need to be tougher - screw the fouls - NU is gonna get called for blowing a kiss so put the guy on his ass. Make your damn fouls count. Stop whining about touch fouls and make smart hard fouls early. Set a tone. What happened to Paul Bunyan - damn has he disappeared.Denial is not a river in Egypt.

We hit enough threes. That wasn’t the problem.Almost like when you have no inside presence defensively the other teams scores at will. Then when you have no inside presence offensively and your guards aren’t hitting 3’s you don’t score well. Lots to work on.
NU is all about defense first; we had little to none yesterday. Not sure how we adjust to guys that are better and bigger than us. We really just don’t have an athletic 6’8” guy that can defend 1:1 a top scorer (amazing what Audige and Beran could do for us). Most on this board don’t like zone, but seems we need to mix it in. Need to get better on the post-trap. Nicholson needs to protect the rim better. Lots to work on, but also some limitations that we cannot overcome. I think CCC knows all of this and more and will keep the team together.Big problem was we hit nothing (under 40%) and we let them hit everything (over 60%) despite fouling way more.

We hit enough threes. But need that inside out game from last year. Pick and roll. Throw it inside and see what happens. Get Mart more time - he’s a bruiser. Get Preston some time - maybe at the four - he plays to contact.
Next game, at home, is big for me. This team has no identity. One day, they kill giants. The next, they fall to daisies. IL is a good team but that massacre…
Yo SD - this is where your boy proves whether he can coach.
How tall is Preston? Mart?NU is all about defense first; we had little to none yesterday. Not sure how we adjust to guys that are better and bigger than us.

Nicholson is only good for 15 minutes a game right now. What about the other 25?NU is all about defense first; we had little to none yesterday.

The guards hit 4/10 3’s against Illinois. They hit 9/15 3’s against Purdue. 15 point difference. 20% decreased efficiency. Both top ten opponents and wildly different outcomes. Not the problem but a problem when your bigs don’t score inside.We hit enough threes. That wasn’t the problem.

Glad we agree that the offense wasn't the problem.I totally agree.
I disagree. They need to get go back to what worked last year.They all suck.
