ugly game. we really should have been up double digits based on the first 10 minutes. we arent winning anything if sasser doesnt show
Not liking the closeness of this. Rutgers is playing good D and Coogs seem stymied Rutgers are playing over their head too, so hopefully the 2nd half prevails to the norm
This can't continue if we want to move on. We need a much better team effort and aggressive smart basketball in the second half. That sputtering offense / scoring drought reared it's ugly head again. We need to move the ball around and get better shots. They are killing us on the inside. Hope that Sampson makes the proper adjustments at the half. Sasser has to contribute if we are going to take back this game in the second half. I certainly was not expecting what we have seen so far.
Everything they do seems to be the wrong decision on offense and defense. And that's been for a good 20 minutes now. Need a spark.
I knew when Charles Barkley picked us for his final four it was a jinx. It's gut check time. We are going to have to play our ass off to win this one.
Illinois losing means the Cougars have a wide open path to the final four. Then, this happens.....damn.
