Hogs vs. Illinois basketball

Muss's best teams looked like shit until the first of the year.  I ain't worried.  Yet.

I mean, last year we beat Purdue and Duke. Where did that get us?

Muss scored 36 points last night 0-12 from 3. Stan Heath would be proud.

Still at his age that's not bad

Especially since he's 5'6".

All those pickup games at the frat houses are paying off.

Really liking Theiro's game.

Same.  It's a game you can count on night in and night out.

Kentucky fans are some of the most butt hurt people on the planet.

I'll be honest - i'm on the fence because I am sick and tired of everyone stand behind the 3 point line and pass the ball around (from heath to now it's been what 20 years of this shit) . someone set a frickin' screen, a pick and roll, ball screen, something that looks there is a offensive plan involving 2 or more players. it's boring.

at least muss would run some picks and exploit a mismatch on occasion.

They're not wrong. Big Z is BBQ chicken when he has to switch on a pick and roll.

I'd say we have more motion in our offense this year than any year under Muss. We've gotten good looks all year. I can't think of a game where we had bad shot selection. Under Muss we routinely had to chuck up a shot late in the shot clock. Not much of that this year.

Turnovers are my concern. We had 8 in the first half against IL and only 3 in the second. We outscored IL in the 2nd.

We lost the game the first 4 mins when we went cold. We played them even the rest of the way even with them making 15 threes. Cal made the comment postgame that Z struggles in PnR which is evident.

This team has talent but lacks chemistry. I think our play right now is our floor. We have guys injured and haven't played together. You have to think that will improve only playing 9. Time will tell.

I've seen lots of games where no offensive player is 20 feet from the basket. Not too many offensive rebounds from that.

Said this are thing a million times. Run a figure eight outside the three point line and we jacks up a three. Screw that. Run some plays to get inside.

[Barton Fink]

You guys realize we shoot less threes  that probably 90% of the country right?

We drive to the basket more than we do anything else. Thierro, DJ, Richmond, and Boogie get to the rim each game.

[Trigger7672]

We needed to shoot way more threes vs Illinois to have a chance in that game.

[Barton Fink]

After our poor start, probably. From the point it was 11-0, the game was played the rest of the away between us being up 2 to them being up 6. That's just a 3 possession swing which tells you the games was evenly played even with them making a lot of 3's.
