Luke also said he witnessed the practice and he agreed they were locked in and had a great practice before being let out early. Sometimes you want a team as fresh as possible if you think they are locked in. Observers thought they were. Practices don't always translate, but extending the practice when it appears they are locked in doesn't do anyone any good. Many times teams look great in practice and play awful, other times teams look terrible in practice and play great. Shortening the practice when the team appears to be locked in didn't have any affect on how the team played today.@siu-alum-05 In the pregame interview with Luke he said the team was ready he was happy in how they were prepared and there was no use in going over anything has they had it down and let them out of practice early this was the last practice at home before the trip to ISU blue all i can say is oops 😬
@siu-alum-05 they don’t watch film together. The players are suppose to watch it on their own. Sounds like a potential coaching problem to me.

I have a hard time believing this.
I was at the game. The best part was when the game was over and we went out to eat with friends. No defense, not rebounding and missed free throws were from lack of effort and focus. I don't know what the answer is and I'm not sure the coaches do either.
I was watching at home and it was hard to watch. I had to take a couple of breaks because it was that hard to watch. It was a very disappointing and frustrating game.
We all have had an opinion about this team we have all heard Nagy say they are ready and then the team doesn't preform but there is one thing I haven't heard mention about this team and the way they play is maybe they aren't very disciplined and if that is the case you can't bench everyone to make a point as the roster is getting pretty short. On a side note anyone have an idea what happened to Massey he went from starter to not even getting garbage minutes

I’m pretty sure Massey wasn’t dressed or even on the bench. The announcers mentioned only 9 guys dressed too
Unfortunately, he had quite a few bad games in a row, which resulted in him being completely removed from the rotation. I think they figured out he is undersized at the 5 and doesn't bring enough offense to make up for being undersized on defense. Also, probably doesn't have the range to play the 4 at this level. Coaches decision I'm guessing. Probably not a good fit going forward. Feel bad for the guy. Sounds like the effort was there.We all have had an opinion about this team we have all heard Nagy say they are ready and then the team doesn't preform but there is one thing I haven't heard mention about this team and the way they play is maybe they aren't very disciplined and if that is the case you can't bench everyone to make a point as the roster is getting pretty short.

Massey seemed to be overmatched physically inside. It was not for lack of effort because I think he played hard and tried to do the right things. He just did not look strong enough and was pushed around a lot both offensively and defensively.
