The good news is that these guys are somehow an even worse rebounding team than us. They give up tons of 3s, so if we shoot like Boise did (44%), we could win going away. Unfortunately, we've shot more like South Carolina (28%) this year so it's likely another close game. It would be nice to give them payback for the Christmas Day massacre last year, though.

Our guys need to stay high because they have several guys that can rain threes on you starting with their PG, Evans.
Scheduled for 4:00p, but will probably run 10 or 20 min late since there is a couple of games before our game.
Since the game is the first game of the evening session it will start on time. No guarantee as to the broadcast.
I got to say hi to him just now. Seems happy and ready to play. He’s going to be fun to watch for the next 4 years.
Down 19 to Ill St- where's the heart? Zero senior leadership- it started on day one and has not gotten better- I know people have said Joiner is the vocal leader- not a good sign at this point
I thought we were supposed to be a better shooting team. Seem worse. And the defense is atrocious
He can't make a shot yet he's getting extended minutes
He’s a good shooter, but he’s not going to shoot a high percentage from 25 feet. And yet those are pretty much the only shots he’s taken this year
How can we be a worse shooting team than last year- it's possible- don't know how, but it's true- every team should zone us
Another losing season
Haith should get the boot
No coaching no effort no clue how to solve a zone
Passive passing against a press no dribbling
Disgusted
Anticipate a crowd of 100s against central ark
I'm too embarrrased to ask friends to use my extra tickets

We are not good. I’ll give it the next half. If the 2nd half looks like the 1st half I’m taking a week or two break from TU sports. Can’t take getting excited for games to see this sorry excuse of an effort. Not passing inside on a zone (crucial) and taking contested 3s because the ball sticks way too much on offense against the zone.
Only a couple of ISUs threes were unguarded, they are just shooting lights out. On Evans’ last 3 Joiner was right in his grill and it made no difference. I’m hoping they cool off but we have to generate some offense somehow. BTW, you got your Igbanu/Jeffries minutes today and it didn’t seem to help that half.
How much would it cost for us to hire the Illinois State coach at half and buyout Haith's contract???
ISU is shooting over 60 percent from the field and almost 60 percent from beyond the arc. No one can beat a team shooting that. Evans is having everything going his way. Hopefully the second half is a tale of 2 halves
