I actually thought the SEC announcers were trying to give us the benefit of the doubt. Seemed like they kept waiting for us to come back.
Just a terrible look for this team today.

Embarrassing. This team lacks heart. The major takeaway I have from this game is its absolutely time for Griffin to start over Damonte.
Completely out-coached and out-played. Weren’t prepped at all. Never adjusted to their trapping. Just a terrible showing by what I’m starting to really believe is a poor staff.
Mizzou wanted it more. That’s clear just off the rebounding effort.
But the biggest concern to me, again, is our complete lack of a half court offense. Guys look lost, out of position, constantly. We rarely have any kind of movement. The three man weave out top is not an offense. If we don’t get points off transition we don’t get points. We had four assists today. Four!
If BU is going to scrap his pressure defense that can at least lead to transition, he needs to install some kind of an offense. I’m not sure what they are trying to accomplish in the half court, but it’s highly ineffective.
I'm telling you there is locker room issues. Look at Brad, he's not the same fiery coach. Frazier has sat in the back seat with everyone else not wanting to take shots, giorgi in a new role or not is a shell of himself. Then you add in this idiotic weave offense. Not good
This. Ayo with a decent 1st half and some good hero ball to the hoop when it was way too late in the game, but basically no one performed. Merry Turdmas, Illini fans.Weak performance overall, but the rotations? Addtionally, the weak side rebounding was pathetic, and that should have been resolved during the game. Overall, it was an "F". Can't point at a player or coach that performed today.
They can't even run their spread offense, which hasn't worked in 3 years. It's been the same nucleus of players last 2 years, I feel like we've been sold a bill of goods here. Trust me I'm pulling for Brad but it's just not worked. Something needs to change...I'm telling you there is locker room issues. Look at Brad, he's not the same fiery coach.

Damonte Williams is , without a doubt, the worst player on this team...anyone who still says he is worthy of the minutes he gets knows absolutely nothing about college BB....he missed 2 bunnies that anyone here posting on this board would have made and he let everyone drive by him like he was in quicksand...if he continues to get the minutes he is getting then we can kiss the tourney GOODBYE...
this loss is on Underwood for playing DW as much as he did and not making ANY adjustments....Did the refs do a good job ? Don't get me started on that as misery should have had all their players foul out with a properly called game....
There are many here who think DW walks on water...Well, after his PATHETIC performance today, what do you say now ??????? I have been saying for 2 years now to play AG and TJ over him...if we had been doing that then maybe we would have won today....DW's 2 missed layups and his allowing numerous baskets by misery would have changed this game...
EMBARRASSING LOSS....no other way to say it...............
Is there a greater basketball insult than to call someone a "glue" guy.
When I praised Pickett's energy and hustle in the pregame and wished that Damonte could bring some scoring to his game a couple chimed in on how unimportant that is.
Sorry, but not only is the lack of offense a problem, missing layups is an absolute morale killer.
Out of curiosity, what players from last year have you seen significant improvement from this year?
BTN+ next yearThese teams show why this game is on the SEC Network at noon on Saturday
