Unfortunately, it is the Illini's Superbowl since the NCAA Tournament is always out of reach.This game just matters more to Mizzou than it does to us. It’s their Superbowl.

This could be trouble before too long. Folks are going to start wondering if this isn't favoritism and Tyler isn't so good that anyone will be able to squelch that.
Someone mentioned in the game thread that journalists need to press Underwood about this.
Maybe us fans should take it into our own hands. I mean, all we would need to do is make a meme or two - or even better a little video - posing the question as to why dude is playing, and then start circulating it. If our forum is any indication, a significant percentage of Illini fans must be wanting to ask the same things of coach:
"Why do your son look like Samwise Gamgee with a crew cut?"
"Did he learn to ball in the Shire?"
"Why is he getting minutes over highly touted recruits who need game experience to develop?"
Don't worry, we're just taking it slow. He'l have a couple set plays installed by 2024, just you waitJordan was 2-3 from the 3. Don't you think we should be running a few more plays for him to get a few more shots ??
My worry is that bu had a week to prepare. He is supposed to be x o s coach. He insisted this is exactly what this team needed. There was no offensive movement and lack of good pressure D. They weren't ready simple as that. Deserve better. But always Illini bball fan.
Not every play need to be a hand off. It can also be an alley pop to your 6’3 wing over the other team’s 6’10 post player.We are a strong 3/4 of a game team,we can start fast D wise but are not a great shooting team, don't have more than one current Off option, D early but can't step on their neck yet, does every play have to be a hand off, I keep waiting on a play like Samba had where fake cuts, wheeled and in, or passing to an open 3.
What do you want him to do stop the culture, no one is excluded from following rules,obviously he feels TU can burn some tics, he probably knows the offense, he's not chucking just filling sometime while BU updates the starter.Someone mentioned in the game thread that journalists need to press Underwood about this.

BU has proven last year and this year to have an inexplicable problem choosing the right line-ups and sub patterns. not sure why, but he is not good at it.
Ayo will be a star. He had a bad night. That’s to be expected.
But why don’t samba and griffin get that same lattitude?
That could be true, I'm just saying BU is not going anywhere. He's proven he can coach at two other schools. And moving forward we'll play the freshman more and by the end of the season we'll be fired up for next year.He’s 7-22 against high major opponents here.
He hasn’t proven anything. And Thomas Walkup isn’t going to the scorers table anytime soon.
Totally agree. I’ve seen him, multiple times, pull guys who are hitting a groove scoring.
And he needs to realize that playing experience over youth when the experience has no talent is a sure fire recipe for disaster.

Our offense and defense are supposed to wear down opponents. It looks more like they wear down the Illini themselves.
