[January 27, 2026] Indiana State (9-12) at UIC (11-10)

[Redtwig]

Graves needs to be gone by tonight. Worst rotations i have ever witnessed. Somehow SLUSH is better

 

[Dymotic]

As a coach, what do you even go into the locker room and say after something like that?

 

[hans1950]

One bright spot. Several players are removing themselves from next year's team as the season goes on.

 

[Redtwig]

I'd probably go Hall, Young, Camp, Scott, Enel to close this thing out

your hired. why did camp never go back in? Graves needs to go home.

That’s only helpful if the coaches can identify talent…

 

[SYCAMORE81]

Did we have any time outs left?

 

[Redtwig]

Sycamore nation is in Harding HELL. I am actually beside myself at this recruiting. I have never see worse big man play.

 

[Redtwig]

You know what. The more i think about it... it was pride night so it was a win for the whole coaching staff i guess.

 

[RunSyc]

I turned radio off when down 20, & didn't watch ending, so I feel mostly 'removed' from this game.

Holding onto a small amount of hope that this team will be competitive at Arch Madness. Beat UIC in all the team stats, except turnovers/steals.

Somehow learn to keep turnovers in single digits & play with consistent effort ... holding onto a sliver of hope for a Thursday win & a competitive Friday game.

And 3 point percentage, fouls, free throws, free throw percentage...


But with this many turnovers the last few games...it doesn't really matter what else you do.

 

[isubird33]

Part of the turnover issue is just us not being very good or very smart with the ball.

But part of the issue has to be with how many different lineups we are running out there. We've gotta get locked into a core 5-7 man rotation with spot minutes outside of that. With this many different combinations on the court, it's gotta be tough for anyone to get any sort of rhythm.

And how are you going to lock in a core when everyone is turning the ball over. The starting 5 was trash and deserved to get pulled when they did. There’s no “fixing” this team. We are what we are.

 

[pbutler218]

I've held this thought in long enough . Perhaps some of these players should stay away from the nearest cannabis dispensary in Illinois. Just saying. This program has lost all of my respect. There's NO defending this bullshit.That game was LITERALLY given away. I don't know why fans even bother any more.

 

[SycamoreBlue3209]

I have no energy left…have to watch that shit show finish, then flip SLU on winning under 20 sec to go, then IU beat Purdue.
I need a new hobby.

 

[4Q_iu]

Did we have any time outs left?

nope - used the last to draw up the BEST inbounding play in the history of the game...

SMH

 

[BallLife]

I’m going straight to the rim with Young

They had him in the corner as a decoy as far away from the ball as possible.

 

[BallLife]

Low IQ players started running and the ref didn’t give the ball up.

They all moved early but there's no excuse for throwing the ball where Scott threw it.

Duh

 

[BallLife]

Duh

The lowest IQ player tonight had a game winning pass for UIC but was wearing a Sycamore jersey. ;(

"Men, are you trying to get me fired?"
