I've been frustrated with Illini teams before but it was always because they were just not quite as good as I wanted them to be. I'm frustrated with this team because they're so fucking good but it so often is so difficult for them to put a game together.
It's just weird. I honestly don't think they've played a team that is better than they are. It seems dumb to say that when Michigan State has beaten them twice, but I truly believe it. Maybe I'll feel differently after the Duke game.
It’s because they have been consistently beating themselves. Gotta look at the coaching. The players need to make baskets but I hang a lot of these on Underwood.
I watched for a few minutes last night and they were consistently being beaten back down court for easy shots.
Not so much a talent thing, as an effort thing.
