the most frustrating play was Carr having the ball in the lane and dumping it off to Amari who lost th ball. I’d much rather have Carr take that shot.

So much for big blue nation travels anywhere so much Illinois crowd in there makes me sick
Great job coming out of that Half with the lead. Oweh time in the 2nd Half and Big Bam Butler showed up as expected. Brea has been fantastic. Williams/Garrison/ are going to get easy shots--make them and you win by 10+.
Carr---would be nice if you'd join the game.

Ugh why are they not showing Flagg highlights. That's why we are all watching!
I want to see Pope get into players' grills. He is not going to get the job done if he continues to allow players get away with being lazy and playing dumb basketball. Please don't waste anymore scholarships on players who are not self-motivated and big men who are soft as butter.
That 3 from Alminor was huge, we really need our bigs to step up.
Like, any of them, lol.
Williams shooting the ball at this point might as well be a turnover
Carr had an awful first half did not shoot the ball but once or twice with his size he needs to post up more.
This
He has grabbed several loose balls . We lost three possessions with AA taking a Terrible 3 and Garrison taking 2 .. add that to the missed 3 layups and BG misses a wide open 8 footer .. we should be up 10-15
Carr is playing terrified to this point. Loosen up and COMPETE
The last 2 games the defense has dropped off of Williams at the top of the key. Just take two dribbles towards the basket and dunk it every time they do that.
Yeah that was ridiculous
Well, Garrison took open shots. That’s what I meant by taking smart shots.
He sucks. Big 10 / buckeye homer
I'd feel a lot better about this if we just made 3 layups and 3 free throws. A 14 point halftime lead would feel good.
Yep, all the commentators are keying on Illinois struggling b/c of TOs, which was true. However, if the Cats had hit 3/4 of the shots within 5 ft (layups/jumpers) AND had hit even 3/4 of the FTs, the lead would be 12-15 points
I’m pretty sure Carr has only taken one shot.
Except we were up 12 with 8:34 left so feels like we gave them life they shouldn't have right now.
It’s gonna happen in Indy too if we make it. Tennessee and Purdue have had 24 hours to gobble up the tickets. Sucks
Oweh barely played.
Amari hasn't been his best.
Carr has 0 points.
Halftime show: Illinois has been better since their initial turnover spell.
Hope we keep up the defensive intensity.

If Perry is still getting minutes 2 years from now, we will be in trouble.
It started when Williams just threw the ball away playing unserious and trying to be cute
That outfit is Fire! I want...
I think the bama beat down and the injuries put a little damper on the enthusiasm to travel after we had such a massive turnout for SECT
He doesn't like the physicality, that's the truth.
Is it just me or does he seem more salty this year, seems irritated and condescending, more than usual with the other panelist.
Love seeing that from some of Cal’s former players! Especially ones that won a Championship here at UK!
If Amari doesn't hit a layup and FT and Carr actually shows up, your wish will be tonight.
I hate that. If I had the money, I'd be up there every time!
None of our bigs do. I hope we get some tougher bigs next season.
Both he and Pearl are like that. One of these days they're going to pull an Elvis Presley.
We win this game if we keep playing hard on defense and can keep them off the boards.
