There is no team in the country worse at executing plays than us.

 

[GoIllini23]

Someone needs to take control of this team, Trent has become way to tentative

 

[Sizzler22]

Pathetic

 

[RedRocksIllini]

After a year and half of this, I am certain we will never win a game because we out-coached the other team. smh

Just keep finding different ways to lose

 

[DeeForThr33]

they hit 8 threes we hit 0.

 

[IlliniRon]

Not sure I'd draw up a 3 pointer in a game where we are 0 for 10 from 3 point range. Oh well, showed we can play even with Northwestern this year, until the end.

Man, that was a huge bummer

 

[PlayAZ]

2 timeouts in the last 2 minutes...A) shot clock violation, B) last leterally second hail mary after botched in bounds?

 

[foby]

They are young and growing. Many signs of improvement today (Talking about the team, not the negative posters). Can't wait for Trent to hit some of these game winners.

 

[illini1123]

It's BU's fault we missed all of our 3 pointers.

Those last 30 seconds were so Illinois. Not a surprise.

 

[Ratskin]

I don’t care what anyone says,BU approached this game the best way he could. Wait till he gets some more help!

Underwood now 5-18 in games that were down to one possession under 2 minutes.

Let's blame Underwood for the inability of our players to catch a wide open pass?

We need to recruit intelligent players. 5 start means nothing to me. Recruit intelligence, and maybe we can win some games, and not look like a lost puppy.

 

[I Bomb]

Talk about a game where any number of singular events could have resulted in a win... good ft shooting though

 

[ivwilsoniv]

Last 3 possessions were just inexcusable. Shot clock violation, offensive rebound for NW leads to the 3, and that last heave. I know what they were trying to do with that play - get Trent going to the basket - but it shouldn’t have come to that. #WhenWillWeWin?

 

[sunman]

Executing is an issue. Hope we grow up fast.

[westcoastillini]

That second to last possession had me completely up in arms. Get a shot off at least. Nobody wanted the ball

Any team who consistently fails to shoot the ball in 30 seconds has, in my opinion, a coaching problem. Not all our faults are his, but that one is.

Underwood now 5-18 in games that were down to one possession under 2 minutes.

that is similar percentage to his overall record.
