The game was there to be won, just too many empty trips in the last few minutes. The under 4 minute results below
Just will not win a game like that
Itās one of those years where they just canāt get right. There were things they could have done differently earlier in the game but in the end it was still their game. Just donāt have it mentally this year.
I agree āthe season is toastā. Even if we had Livers for the rest of the season we would be a mediocre team. Letās face it: Atlantis was an anomaly. We played above our heads and caught better teams at a vulnerable time. We have reached our mean. We are not a good shooting team, the floor coaching is poor, our defense is inconsistent, next man up is an unproven theory. Sorry, I had to get this off my chest.
When you have the chance to go up 6 points down the stretch you absolutely should win, better team or not.
Yeah, we have so much data on this!
Thatās really bad take on Beilein. He landed Jalen Wilson and Cole Bajema. Both wings.
Who else is in to crowd-scource dropping bags?
With livers theyād be a good team, I disagree there but without him they just canāt get it done consistently to win games versus good teams.
Plus Franz.
Really it was just a one-game anamoly, since Gonzaga is the only tournament team we played there.
Juwan canāt make players grow lmao love the internet
DDJ was the only player to score once clock hit 6 minutes.
I love Underwood, and theyāre definitely on the upswing, but this U of I team is not a first place in the BIG quality team. This was a lucky, lucky win.
Come on. They might be the better team but if you canāt see they were in control late and blew it then your going too far the other direction.
Oregon, Purdue (regulation/1st OT), Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois . . . weāve consistently gone cold in crunch time.
Theyāve had several games like this. Iāll be having them get upset in the tournament for sure
Yup. Reminds me of Beilenās first BIG winner when we lost to Ohio U in the first round.
Serious question: whenās Michiganās next victory?
I get heās looked bad recently leading up to this game, but Iām still on the āplay DDJ moreā bandwagon. I get it, he makes some bad decisions and some inefficient shot choices, but he has what you canāt teach - CONFIDENCE. Right now, until others gain that back, DDJ needs to play more through thick and thin, heās not scared out there.
If itās not the next game @Nebraska I think I might log off the internet for a while
