The fact that this lead is under 10 is amazing since only two players showed up today.

Alright I’ll take that at half. Responded well after getting punched a bit. Need some other dudes to step up and make some shots

42-38 at the half. Not bad considering how bad we played

4 down at the half. I will take it after Illinois' hot shooting and intensity.

Story of the first half:

Too may TO's

Illinois shot better than we did

AZ's guards have done a crap job guarding Illinois guards

Thank God for Tubelis/Mathurin..everyone else has crapped the bed

travel problems and we look a bit rusty, count me in the "not worried yet" crowd.

Illinois is a tough out.

Agree.

Dylan getting into foul trouble 20 milliseconds into the game and Aiken being out didn't help either

Being down 4 after giving up a 19-0 run is huge. We're not giving up a run like that again.

First halftime adjustment pressure for CTL. Or not, maybe he'll just settle us down and see what happens. It's kinda cool having the unknowns this year.

Is that our worst half of basketball this year?

Glad we are within 4,

Hopefully we can play a little more like we have been this year in the second half.

Not unexpected. Playing on the road, travel problems. And remember most of these players have not played in front of a hostile crowd before.

She knows better than to push her luck. Besides, if we win she might just get lucky.

I'm tempted to say, nah her twin sister lives in town, but she's an only child and I know better than to spar with you so I'll just surrender right now.

Playing scared, same with Ballo. They really fear Cockburn.

Cats need to stop feeding them when Cockburn is out there.

Kier really needs to step up. But scoreless, and his +/- is -11. Which doesn't mean a lot. Larrson's +/- is +11.

There is no way the announcers or the refs will let us win this game.

And if my dog doesn’t stop staring at me like I’m a fucking lunatic the “Best dog I’ve ever new” thread will have a new addition.
