Every week, our Twitter account (@Champaign_Room) posts a tweet asking for your opinion on something. With the first stretch of Big Ten play done for Illinois basketball, we wanted to see what you’re still concerned about after a 6-3 start. Here are some of the best responses in this week’s #IlliniPulse!
THAT GARBAGE CAN!
The health of the trash can Underwood didnt like at halftime yesterday....

A lack of size.
Size. We play hard, our guys can shoot. But Finke/Black/Kipper are just not big enough to battle down low against guys 6"10 or bigger. There is more than just Bruno Fernando (Maryland Big) in the Big Ten.

Inconsistent and, at time non-existent, big play.
— Jeff (@jjhparker) December 4, 2017
Size.

Everything else is a product of our lack of height.
End of game issues.
Dumb mistakes
— Jason Patt (@Bulls_Jay) December 4, 2017
Shooting themselves in the foot. Ex. That inbounds play in the waning minutes of the game last night.

Poor shot decisions in the interest of maintaining pace
— Ryan 〽️cGuire (@somber_bluebird) December 4, 2017
Self-inflicted wounds and inability to close out winnable games
— Quinton Strong (@el_duderino813) December 4, 2017
The offense at moments.
Inability to attack the zone
— George Couston (@Cous_21) December 5, 2017
Besides Aaron Jordan, outside shooting.

Patience of fans...
Patience and mental health of #Illini fans.
— IlliniForLife (@IlliniAlum) December 5, 2017
And BU’s health!
Brad Underwood’s heart health and blood pressure!
— Jason Lewis (@jslewis22) December 4, 2017
Or maybe we just shouldn’t be concerned right now.
Nothing. Young team that’s learning and will continue to get better. At least I can watch this type of basketball

Thanks for responding this week! We’ll be back next week with another #IlliniPulse!
