I know he’s turned around the program. But good lord, these kind of losses can’t happen. That’s a going nowhere team that just firmly planted us on the 4/5 line.
Meme material for the opposition
I don't even want to watch basketball anymore, that was a serious gut punch. We have talent, but talent will only get you so far.
Can we have that quick, missed three by Goode back? That started the snowball rolling.
Different year same team with same problems....
At the line? How about the whole game.
Can we also have someone beside domask in bounds the ball? If domask is our primary ball handler why in bounds to tsj n he get picked?
N Hawkins missed 2 FTs n fouls the guy on the 3??

This team has 5 seed first round upset by 12 seed written all over it.
When are fans going to realize BU can't really coach? No March success and now late game collapses are becoming a thing. He has been out coached dozens of times in the past 2-3 years
What a collossal meltdown. I am so pissed
I don't want to hear how it's hard to win on the road...
If you're any good:
You don't give up 90 to Penn State.
You don't urinate down your leg in the last 3 minutes.
You don't not know how to run an inbounds play.
You don't commit stupid fouls on three point shooters.
I could go on, but I'm going to put as much effort into this post as this team does in its defense.
The more I see of this years team the more I'm reminded of previous years teams in a lot of wrong ways. I will be pleasantly surprised, bordering on shocked, if this team gets to the 2nd round let alone the 2nd weekend.

A lot in common in every one of our losses…Ty Rogers not being in the game

Why in the literal hell would the Big Ten want the #12 team that could be playing Purdue for a league title in Champaign to lose to possibly the least prestigious program all-time with a first year head coach that isn’t making the NCAAT regardless in their high school gym?!
Come on.
For all the talk about final four potential and all that garbage, we now witnessed the equal potential of a first round loss. I really hope this loss hurts and sits with them a long time! We can’t rely on 35 pt performances. We can’t continue playing sh#%%^ defense. We can’t piss ourselves in the last minute. Grow and learn or go home.
Illinois got plenty of breaks that’s bs excuse my friend
All season, our team has had trouble handling ball, has relatively poor court awareness on offense (lose track of the guy sneaking up behind you), can't run (doesn't have) out-of-bounds plays, and is clueless against pressure defenses. We have no real guard play: wings who mimick it, but no true guards and that shows. I think the team needs much, much more thoughtful coaching to overcome this problem.
Don’t stand on the line until the other team is set.
That is mental which led to fouling a 3 point shooter when we were up 2
