Ya’ll do realize he’s playing against Cockburn right?

Our bucket seems to be unkind and they seem to be getting crazy rolls - and way too many offensive rebounds.

our plan against curbelo has been awful

Good Lord, Curbelo delivered a forearm shiver into Mike Smith’s back to knock him down; no call.

So much for missing Dosunmu. Can’t stop Curbelo penetration. Gets in lane at will.

They’re going under everything. Let’s start splashing.

Absolutely. Free throws weren’t nor were a couple of bunnies.

Not rebounding when Kofi is on the bench is not good IMO.

Well this is an annoying start to this game.

We are getting killed on the boards and 50/50 balls.

There’s a difference between “letting them play” and “tackle basketball.” This has approached the latter.

The Fighting Illini are not giving up any easy buckets. They are being physical to both ends of the court. Have to run the offense and match their intensity if we are going to turn this around.

Curbelo leading both teams in points, rebounds and (tied with a bunch) assists.

i thought our size would be a benefit but they are out quicking us

Digging down on the defensive boards would be good place to start. The shots just need to fall on our end

What’s with the deer in the headlights look Michigan?

Feels like Wagner or livers need to have a 20+ point game if we are going to survive this

Curbelo is absolutley destroying Michigan so much for the good defense just awful. This would be a bad look to lose at home without Ayo playing. Need to get in offensive flow and get defensive rebound!!

Still -1.5 UM in the live betting
