Have they ruled Jok out already? Just curious hadn't heard anything. I would be ok if he was, I think the offense really moved the ball well without him last weekend.

I hate the term, "must win", but...................

This could be a NIT back breaker if Hawks mess up here.

I agree, my expectations are low, but tonight is a must win and it will be disappointing if they dont find a way

I think we win without Jok and finally get the monkey off our back

Jok playing while hurt has handicapped the team in much the same way CJ playing hurt, limited the FB team. Tough to take an injured star out...but, often the best COA...

Stagnant, predictable, and low production play is a by product of keeping the injured star in there...

Crazy to think if Jok didn't hurt his back, we might have beaten Maryland and Illinois. We would be looking really good in the conference standings right now.

I don't think we beat Illinois no matter what they way they were hitting open shots

When thinking about how bad Jok was and how good he is capable of being, it could have easily been a completely different game. They were trying like hell to give the game away and we just couldn't take it. Plenty of missed opportunities.

They led big pretty much the entire game

You may be taking this thing just a little too far.

A very slow forward was hitting wide open shots not contested. That isn't about Jok, nor is it about the Illini being hot. Bad Defense.

We had chances to cut the lead to 6 a few times. That's with Jok killing us instead of carrying us the entire game.

Iowa, at least for a shorthanded and unprepared defense is a hard stop when multiple people get involved on O and they break out and run. With Jok, healthy or not, the offense is more half court which has never been a strength under Fran.

Turning over a new leaf?

Our defense killed us, not Jok

I don't think you are supposed to say..."get the monkey off our back"
