Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to No. 24 Illinois 76-58

We're small, unskilled, unathletic and can't shoot (besides Gavin). Looks like a mid major team.
 
Pathetic team performance today. All out of sorts. Illinois walked into The RAC and bullied the shit out of Rutgers. Cliff looks absolutely dreadful. It's gonna be extraordinarily tough for Rutgers going forward. You cannot by as much of a deficit to Illinois on your home floor. Embarrassing.

Gavin shouldn't be going yo the corner every time down the court.

He needs to start under the basket with a down screen to get him the ball with space on the wing.
Just start with that.
 
Just not smart playing. Driving into a triple team; can’t secure a rebound; passing is not there or poor; very poor shot selection; letting the game get out of control before calling timeout and more.
 
Most embarrassing effort by players and coaches in years.
And I’m going to say it - I don’t know what mag is waiting for but we really needed his rebounding today.
 
GG taking a contested 3 isn't good either.
He made it but need to get shooters space.
 
Last season RU had some top notch defenders like McConnell who could help in masking their offensive defiencies. This year they don't have that. Not a good rebounding team either.

Bingo...cannot expect to beat a strong Illinois team by just playing good D..their D is just as good

Threading the needle to win 55-53 isnt going to work

A lot of pushing off by Illinois with no calls. Even Bardo said they are getting away with chicken wings on drives
