BU is understandably a little paranoid after a lot of close losses.I'm not arguing whether he had a right to be furious -- he did. What I am saying is that he didn't have to call Alstork out right at that moment. Couldn't he have waited until they got to the locker room?
Edit-->I guess that is just tough love from BU.
Yeah it was a bonehead play but I thought Underwood let a little desperation show with that reaction. I suppose 0-8 with at least half of those losses coming in the final seconds would do that to just about anyone. :noidea:

I'd love to see the final clip of Underwood yelling. Considering I've seen underwood chew into many players this season, I'd like to see what all the hoopla is about for this play by Alstork.
We have plenty guys that can score.
I don't care who plays.
It's in the gif thread. Alstork does run up to the Indiana player after the intentional miss, but I don't think Alstork actually touched him. Dumb to run up, but I didn't see a foul.
I hate this phrase

Why? Any Illini fan of a young and struggling team that has lost some heartbreakers and finally beats its biggest rival and can't be excited is no Illini fan in my book.
MA is "clever" in missing the last free throw, but it leaves us only up two.
BU clearly was screaming miss it right before he took it
I shouldn't have quoted "clever" as I had no issues with that decision to miss it. It's just that if you're forcing them to side-arm heave a shot with .000001% chance of going in, cool. Don't you dare sprint into that player's cylinder, trip him, and force the ref to make a bang-bang call. Odds of that being a call were obscenely higher than the odds of the player making the shot.
BU did exactly what I would want him to in that situation. I was just pointing out the fact it wasn't mark's quick thinking to miss that shot.
Teaching moments need to happen at the right time for them to actually take effect. I think this was a good example of that. If MA is ever in that situation again, this instance will be at the front of his mind.
