It isn't going to be super clean on the road, especially in conference.
Also, we're not always going to shoot the lights out.
But you CAN control the effort and that's why I was so frustrated in the first half...it wasn't there. Now we're fighting and it's been better if you ask me.
January 27th, 2013 at 7:29 PM ^
Also, it's hard to be clean when there are two different standards for what a foul is depending on the half.
January 27th, 2013 at 7:28 PM ^
...but is there a meaning behind the lettering on the warm-ups the guys on the bench are wearing? "WE ON" stands for what?
January 27th, 2013 at 7:29 PM ^
It's a sparkplug type metaphor. In order for the team to be on, each individual player needs to be on.

Where'd you get one?
January 27th, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
I've been wondering about those for awhile, I appreciate the explanations!
January 27th, 2013 at 7:28 PM ^
Just so everyone knows, we're up thirteen in Champaign.

But someone already said it's from last year.

He's not doing anything offensively or defensively...

Stop crying and hit the floor for that loose ball! That was yours!
January 27th, 2013 at 7:31 PM ^
THE HAT makes an appearance. Les Miles' hat has nothing on THSr's hat.
January 27th, 2013 at 7:31 PM ^
Rebound the fucking ball. This is ridiculous.
January 27th, 2013 at 7:31 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 7:32 PM ^
Get some damn rebounds holy crap
January 27th, 2013 at 7:32 PM ^

...ever
January 27th, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
You realize NIU scored only 4 in the first half yesterday. Against Eastern.
January 27th, 2013 at 7:38 PM ^
I was being sarcastic.
Also, just because they only scored 4 points doesn't mean it was a sloppy game. Just means they suck.
Sloppy is in reference to these turnovers, loose balls, poor passes, fumbles, etc.

We look lazy/sloppy. It's bad.

Anyone else hold their breath every time we pass the ball now? We let the crowd get back into it. Damn it.
January 27th, 2013 at 7:34 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 7:34 PM ^
WOO! Burke steals and dunks!
January 27th, 2013 at 7:34 PM ^

He's played his worst game of the year...it's time for him to wake up and play his game for the next 8 minutes. (Right on time with the steal and the dunk).
January 27th, 2013 at 7:34 PM ^
That's a good way to respond, I think.
January 27th, 2013 at 7:34 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
Great D by Burke!
January 27th, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
Burke juked the other guy so hard he got a steal. Awesome!
January 27th, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^

Sometimes, Trey reminds me of Chauncey Billups. Always calling for a clearout at the top of the key, and taking a stepout J.
January 27th, 2013 at 7:36 PM ^
Trey doing his best Craft impression. Love it!
