My biggest hot take from this one is that maybe televised exhibition scrimmage are a bad idea.

Setbacks are the best teacher. So I think this exhibition worked out well. No, I don't want the Illini to lose, but .... setbacks are the best teacher.

We're 0-0

Saying that we're a tournament team rn is an absolute lie. and we likely won't be for the entire first half of the year. highly likely we start out with 5+ losses in our first 12 (games before 2025).

going to need a strong finish to get into tourney conversation.

Well no sh#t Sherlock....the selection committee isn't choosing tournament teams yet. :rolleyes:

We haven't even started yet? Good lord.

The end is not all that matters. The whole season matters.

Whether a team is a "tournament team" doesn't matter until the end. We need to have one of the best 40ish resumes at the end of the season. We don't need to be playing like one of the best 40ish teams during exhibition season.

I thought it was a practice and not much intensity, looked like we were going about 80 percent. Its likely because they are thinking about what they need to do instead of acting and reacting. Its going to be an ugly non con, but we should get it back by conference time, and get into tourney. If Riley and KJ end up playing like pros, we go deep in tourney. If not, we dont make it past first weekend.
