Wisconsin 75, Illinois 50 POSTGAME
Lol we scored 50 points at Wisconsin
Hard to watch Smith continue to be so lost doing pretty much anything.
Smith even looked lost at the end against scrubs... he’s totally lost it
The wheels have totally fallen off, this team looks like it is ready to give up. Then we r really gonna b in trouble

Early prediction. Barring an out-of-the-blue stunning recruit, our starting 5 next season is:
Frazier
Ayo
Williams
Black
Eboigbodin
Heck, I'd wager Eboigbodin will be starting by the end of this season.

This team is a joke. No reason this team should be 0-7 in the Big Ten. Not giving up yet, but awfully close, and Underwood has a lot to prove. Not sure at this point if he is a step up from Groce at all. Y'all keep preaching patience, but having gone through the last of the Weber years, the Groce years and now this, there is no patience left. Almost feel like our coach gave up tonight.
This team is not good. We don’t pass well, we lack height,they have a low B.B. IQ, and we don’t have any shooting threats. The team has recruited athletes and not basketball players. This will not get turned around without some major additions to go along with Ayo.
Games like this will happen for teams with a young roster, new coach, no front court. We have all 3 problems.
It makes it feel much worse because we haven't won yet. We played well enough to win 4 of our previous games, but just couldn't pull it out. If we came into this game at 2-4 or 3-3, this wouldn't be so painful.

Yeah!! He was terrible! 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 steals....oh wait
That might be worse offensively than we have now. One shooter among that group, although Underwood hasn't shown the ability to take advantage of having shooters. Can't understand never running anything to get Jordan open.
Understand roster isn’t the best, but 0 losses and signs of regression with some guys, doesn’t look good for the Coaches. Hopefully he turns it around, but 1 recruit for 2018 won’t cut it.

I think this is on the players, coach didn't give up. At least not until it was beyond hope...
We have? We are probably the least athletic team in the Big Ten.
Athletes? Who? We are maybe the MOST worse athletic team in a P5 conference. Agree, they may not be basketball players either though
Well....for the first time in a very long long time, I gave up tonight. Turned off an Illini basketball game well before it was over. Hardly ever have I done that in 40 years. Sad stuff people. We are at an historic low as an athletic department....and no end in sight.
That's not going to happen. We have a young team that knows it is playing for the future. They'll keep working.
Hope he gets a lot better before next season. Because right now, he isn't giving the Illini anything positive.

Mark Smith is not a good basket ball player right now. He is an absolute liability when he is on the floor. Sadly the same can be said for about 80% of the guys we have on the floor at any given time. We have no plan B. The lack of talent on this team is mind boggling.
