The last off possession says it all. got to shoot better. 3 tries within 5 ft and no joy.Kipper chooses tonight to show up. Nobody else does besides Giorgi.

This is the most relevent question to ask. The answer is recruiting. Our brand aint sellin.What I don’t understand is why other coaches can just come in and win. Ohio state and Indiana both have teams that weren’t supposed to be good yet they are. Did this program really get left that high and dry by Groce? I just don’t get it.

Big supporter of BU but seems like he has already lost this years team. Doesnt look like anyone wants to be out there no team chemistry. Like I have said before cant give teams 30 to 40 free throws free points a game and win will never happen.
Il starting guards 9/30. Giorgi and Kipper 11/14.Nebby has more talent...and although I've been of the BU train, Miles may be my be my favorite coach in the conference. Giorgi was good again...Kipper was what I expected him to be all year, which was pretty good. Everyone else, not so great.
Brad gutted the roster. Only 2 remain from John's team. Trent & Da' Monte never played while he was coach. But, I completely agree with the statement about coaches coming in and having immediate success .What I don’t understand is why other coaches can just come in and win.

It does appear that BU has decided to play his system at all costs for the future. However, I agree with you that that could backfire spectacularly. Recruiting may become much tougher if this season does not resurrect itself.Brad Underwood’s system is failing in spectacular fashion. Adapt and survive, refuse and fail. It appears Underwood is choosing not to adapt. It appears Brad Underwood is going to fail and it doesn’t look like he will be coaching at Illinois long.
Just for a few minutes would like to see Georgi, de la Rosa and Kane playing same time. That will cause matchup problems. Can’t hurt. No-one seems to score in positionless basketball
500 or better......lol what are u smoking?Have to laugh at all the Div. 1 coaches and assistants posting here with all the solutions to our problems. I did not see today’s game, but have watched every other game this year. The product on the floor falls short of what we would like to see, but it’s still better than Groce-ball or Weber-ball. We knew this year was not going to be what we want to see in Illini BB, but yet we insist on believing we’re going to turn into KY or Duke in a couple of years. Weber and Groce left us with fecal matter for talent, and it takes time to recover from that. Any other expectations beyond .500 for this year were delusional. I think that’s where we’ll end up, if maybe a touch above, with an eye towards a tournament team next year and beyond.
I’ll try to enjoy watching the games this year and not throw things at my tv, but I certainly won’t let our flagship sports define my outlook on life.

I used to believe it was better than Groce/Weber and I felt that way last year. However, I am not so sure after watching the last couple of games since Gonzaga. They really look pathetic.Have to laugh at all the Div. 1 coaches and assistants posting here with all the solutions to our problems.
