Well. That will do it. Congrats Purdue and or Wisconsin on your Big Ten title.

 

[Btpk138]

A flop

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Has anyone started a Gofundme for Brad's fines after he goes off on the refs tonight?

 

[GallopingGhost]

What an embarrassment by underwood my god

The refs should be embarrassed. Sometimes as a coach you gotta stick up for your guys and for terrible officiating

 

[CubsWin]

No flop warning on that one? Get rid of the flop calls entirely if you can't call them consistently.

 

[FloridaMan]

I believe this has been brewing in BU for a while. He's been pretty feisty at recent press conferences and seems to have things he wants to say re: refs but knows he can't. I'll say again, the B10 conference sucks.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

A flop

I'm not even sure CoHawk touched him

 

[Peoria Pipeline]

We’ve played terrible but the officiating has been brutal

 

[hoopsfan47]

Been awhile since I have seen an Illini game where they had such an advantage, saw an opponents strategy that this team was made to destroy, and yet kept trying to do the same things over and over. Hope there was some learning going on tonight. This game may may be a poison arrow to the season.

 

[ILLFAN67]

Horrible defense tonight

Really?? People have been on him all year to let the refs have it, now he does, gets booted and it's an embarrassment?

He's obviously going to make his feelings known in the post game interview. This is what people have been lining for.

I'm not a "we're losing because of the refs" guy but have no problem with him firing up his team there

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

What an embarrassment by underwood my god

How is that an embarassment? You want a coach that puts up with sh1t officiating?

 

[Illini John]

Underwood gets to leave. I wish I could.

 

[coryfor3]

Yeah…this team is just not that good. They’ve had their flashes but this isn’t good.

 

[Ghost77]

Sad beers in the Pizza Hut parking lot tonight my friends

 

[Btpk138]

I'm not even sure CoHawk touched him

Agreed

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

Coach Underwood has work to do.

 

[WyattEarp]

I

But we are a team of short guards and a giant. We aren't built for pressing or good at it.

He’s using it as a change up. Just picking his spots here and there. Probably trying to
get a spark out of the guys like the other night. I agree we aren’t a full game pressing team.

Looks like Underwood’s headed to Pizza Hut.

 

[DMWSuperFan]

I mean, sure, it's a risk worth taking tonight. But... we can't usually count on him for two halves. This is likely to be yet another example of the Illini struggling when Plummer takes a ton of shots. It's just not the right recipe.

He literally hasn’t taken a 3 since halftime…

 

[KingWolf11]

If Kofi didn't come back and Payne is your starting 5 how many games does this team win? Not pretty.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

we are done, Learch is horrible. Finally a reaction

 

[IlliniKat91]

Coleman still has a fire in his belly despite everything going on. I love having guys like that

 

[coryfor3]

OSUs got done talent. Just better than us.

Shouldn’t be so.
