We got blitzed again from the jump, didn’t shoot 3s (which we need to in order to open things up for Mart and Barney and something we had been trending up on) and got smoked on the glass/50-59 balls.

Our next 3 are must wins. We need the Welsh rocking. Get to 6-6 and you’ve got a legit shot down the stretch to get to 10-10 which is squarely on the bubble.

Martinelli has 17 pts so far. So he is getting his scoring near his average

Teams are going to get better and better at stopping Martinelli I don't think he has a chance of winning the scoring title

I agree with the first part of your statement, but not the second. He certainly will have a chance. Teams are getting better at stopping Bailey and Harper (well, his injury is part of it) and other guys. Garcia had 31 yesterday but he's not particularly good on the road. Someone could end up leading the league with 19 ppg. Why not Marty?

A one half overreaction.

Down 21 Collin’s trying with the refs. Cmon ccc.

Wasn't sure originally if it was Collin's son or Barnhizer as his nickname is "coaches son". But Barnhizer rooms with Martinelli correct?

Yep, Barnhizer and Martinelli are roommates.

Not liking Leach's "defense" on KJ's three-pointer.

Playoffs? Don’t talk about - playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs?

Even though it's having no significant effect on how badly we're getting beaten but the reffing is usual is horrible. Several of our guys get hammered and no call.

A loss today doesn’t mean much. We have seen the team bounce back from some awful performances. Winning three home games in a row upcoming gets the team back to 6-6. Not unthinkable that could happen.

From the first possession it was clear who was the aggressor. Half can’t come soon enough. We are dangerously close to being out of this gam

We'll probably play in the College Basketball Crown, since the top two remaining Big Ten teams are contractually obligated to play in that tournament instead of the NIT. With our several Qual 1 wins, I remain confident that we'll be playing in one of these tournaments, although we still have a chance to make the NCAAs. Regarding today, we still have the split with the Illini, which is the same as we did last season.

I haven't given up on the NCAAs, but I'm excited that Martinelli could lead the conference in scoring this year. Could be a matchup between the top two scorers this week when NU plays Ace Bailey and Rutgers.

Got in early today in a small lineup (no Nicholson or Fitz or Hunger). Not sure we've seen this configuration this year.

it got hammered.

PurpleWhiteBoy · Jan 26, 2025

I got home and turned the game on at 5-5 about 6 minutes in.
We didn't score for awhile after that.

We went small and that was a bit of a disaster.

Ciaravino and Berry are competing.

If we don't make a run in the 1st 5 minutes of the 2nd half Barnhizer should sit for the rest of the game. All you are doing is risking more injuries to him. Nothing to prove playing him. Play KJ, Mullins Ceravino and call it a day.

wildcatpn · Jan 26, 2025

Illinois is better than us but it’s inexcusable to come out and be out worked so badly. No energy and not prepared. Disappointing.

Skunkpilot · Jan 26, 2025

Welp another thrashing in Champaign. See you Wednesday for another must win.

Brooks looks injured. Maybe let him sit the rest of the day.

Honestly I thought he had as much of a chance of a concussion as he did a broken nose from that face plant the other night.

Hungry Jack · Jan 26, 2025

WTF kind of effort is this?

AdamOnFirst · Jan 26, 2025

Brooks needs to sit the last 10-12 minutes. He’s not right.

NU Houston · Jan 26, 2025

Shooting first FTs with less than two minutes left in the half. Not good.
