This could be the back breaker for the season, considering both teams were in such a need for a win? Tough to watch Illinois not finish once again down the stretch. As far as defense I was glad we went to a 2-3 it seemed to contain the middle we gave a couple big 3's but still had some bad turnover's or missed bunnies at the other end. IMO the upperclassmen need to play like upperclassmen, if not play the freshman and prepare for next year! It's hard to watch TA play his rear off and then make critical turnover's at the end, Rice is not healthy(probably should sub?) Egwu played decent tonight but still gave up to much on the defensive end, JB played ok but not well enough for a 5th year senior, Ekey showed some signs of life...Hate to vent but that's my thoughts. GO ILLINI |

I didn't see the defense we saw earlier in the year. OSU was on it. I say play the freshmen a lot more. I think Rice must be hurt worse than we might think. I think he needs to sit more. It was good to see Egwu come to life on scoring. Bah. Hate this loss.

Agree about Rice and Egwu..Egwu played a good game tonight 10pts 9rbs. Rice just hasn't been himself for the past few games, I hope he gets healthy! Egwu I just wish would get a little more aggressive on defense, but that tends to lead to fouls? But we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Disappointing loss. We could've taken that game and needed to. Offensively, we looked better, moved the ball around a lot more. Turn overs really hurt. A lot of mental errors and not taking care of the ball. I agree with the other posts. Put the youngsters in.
