Missouri 63, Illinois 56 POSTGAME
These players have one win against Power 5 opponents BRAD is not on the roster
...He's the head coach who built this roster.
oo they, they are blaming a coach for missed ;ayups and 3 pointers that weren't even close
Ayo is 3.4-2.9
Feliz is 3.5-2.4
TF 2.4-1.1
Giorgi 2.2-2.3
Team is 15.2-15.9 yes we turn it over slightly more than we assist with it.
Wonder what would happen if Trent PG the offense with Ayo being a 2 guard....slasher, length downhill to rim, etc?
We all can kiss the dance goodbye, with this stagnant offense, lack of creativity by the players and staff, one on one desperation mode with shot clock mode we will not make the dance. BU may gameplan for certain teams and we get some wins, but as of now imagine this:
Indiana probable loss
Purdue with Haarms, loss
Michigan State/Izzo outcoached loss
Rutgers with athletes they have and center...loss
Penn State/Stephens will own us...Loss
See a pattern here? We absolutely HAD to have every win minus Maryland and possibly Arizona...we did not do that, and the ones we lost are very telling. No selection crew in their right minds can award us a slot after the non-con and this game! We simply cannot win enough good games now to make it...depressing to say the least. Feels like the last 15 years all over again, except this time we have the talent to not be looked over and yet we will not be asked to dance again.
That is a recipe for a bad season.
I don't even know what to say. I watched a team take Maryland down to the wire, beat Michigan and then come out today like they were sleep walking.
I was really surprised on how Feliz played. Usually we can count on him to make crucial baskets when we need it. But he was a ghost today.
So disappointing....

Griffin DOES NOT create offense, hell very few of our players do. That said, Griffin can provide defense and rebounding on par with Williams and at least look like an offensive weapon, he may have caught and passed DaMonte.
Ayo over dribbles loosely with the ball but does create, Feliz over penetrates and gets hung out to dry when the defense is solid, Trent has the flow to his game, just can't get open more often than not.
Bi-polar much? Beat Michigan, final 4 bound. Lose to Minnoz, won’t win another game all season.
We're not likely to do it but there are plenty of quality wins available to play ourselves into the tournament
I was the one yelling at BU for losing 2 years in a row. My exact words “that’s 0-2 Brad”. He came at me being restrained by two security guards. All for the Illini but losing to a sub par Missouri team is unacceptable.

Suicide sprints ruined my knees. Careful what you wish on people.
Don't have a problem with Griffin giving Smith some smack. I'd love to see these guys play with more of a chip on their shoulder nasty attitude. And i don't mean dirty basketball. What an indictment for Pickett to say we knew we were tougher than guys these. I'm in these corner but they are soft mentally and can't figure out they haven't proven a dang thing on the court. Bunch of pre-season hype that meant nothing.

Brad is responsible for the roster and getting the players to play the best they can. As Lovie might say, it is simple as that. Do we blame the $4m man, or the scholarship athletes?
But can we make the NIT?
I'm not sure he played the final 10 or 12 minutes..there was a lot of DW and AG
I agree. Think it could impact mentally in the future as well. Hard to remain loyal when your leader continues to praise the opposing team and doesn’t go to war for you.
