But….. we did.We barely defeated an undermanned Indiana team at home

The home loss to Purdue three days previously, when BW threw his players under the bus at the postgame presser, was the moment when my patinece with him ended. Then as the clock wound down against Nebraska it was clear he'd lost the team and would be gone.That was a bad one for sure. Or when we barely got out of the thirties to beat MSU by 1.
Illinois 42-41 Michigan State (Jan 31, 2012) Final Score - ESPN
Game summary of the Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Michigan State Spartans NCAAM game, final score 42-41, from January 31, 2012 on ESPN.www.espn.com
But for me, Worst overall game I can remember (win or lose), was the loss at Neb when Meyers cried on the bench. That was the worst I’ve watched.
Crying Illini can't believe blowout
There were tears in the locker room after Nebraska used a 36-4 run to win 80-57www.stltoday.com
If you listen to his post game after Indiana I don’t think Underwood has any problem with bigs having career nights. He’s more concerned with getting beat from 3.The Illini need to shore up their paint defense. Against Reese, Nicholsen and Renuan the the Illini looked bad. Hawkins has his problems vs bigger athletic centers. Dainga may help in the center 5 spot but Hawkins and Dainga on the floor at the same time is rare.
The day following that loss was the day I discovered Illinois Loyalty. A friend had told me about that postgame presser and when I got home from work I searched online for it and this was the website at the top of the search results. Have been on here damn near every single day since then.The home loss to Purdue three days previously, when BW threw his players under the bus at the postgame presser, was the moment when my patinece with him ended.

That Nebraska loss was awful but also a relief. Lost 12 of our final 14 that winter. Just wish we'd had 2017 Josh in 2012 to hire BW's replacement.

BTW, was reading the game recap on IU's Inside the Hall blog. Yesterday was the first time IU went 0-fer on treys in 14 years.
Pretty similar to me. I knew BW's days here were numbered but out of respect for Bruce, no traditional media outlets were really talking about it. So I found Loyalty and was excited to learn we were getting Shaka Smart or Brad Stevens.The day following that loss was the day I discovered Illinois Loyalty.

Right!!Pretty similar to me. I knew BW's days here were numbered but out of respect for Bruce, no traditional media outlets were really talking about it. So I found Loyalty and was excited to learn we were getting Shaka Smart or Brad Stevens.
We had no chance at Steven’s because he was always going to Indiana!!Pretty similar to me.

Count me in. Won’t bring the best golf game, but I’ll certainly bring the #vibessssThat could be epic
I’m all for vibes on my golf team.Count me in. Won’t bring the best golf game, but I’ll certainly bring the #vibessss
The interesting name back then that was thrown around and everyone poo-pooed it, was…… Dennis Gates. He might not have been ready then, but his recruiting would have been incredible in comparison to Groce. Surely the coaching could have been similar.We had no chance at Steven’s because he was always going to Indiana!!
I believe Reggie Theus' name was thrown around too lolThe interesting name back then that was thrown around and everyone poo-pooed it, was…… Dennis Gates.

I was at that Nebraska game. I knew that was the final nail in the coffin. I had a drink after the game to commiserate the loss and also to celebrate moving on as it was clear a change was inevitable.The home loss to Purdue three days previously, when BW threw his players under the bus at the postgame presser, was the moment when my patinece with him ended.
