Glad i missed this game
Who the hell cares man? Why is everyone so concerned about winning the big ten. It means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things
This game was lost on the plane ride home from MD. Hope the team learns from it.
worst in the regular season by far
He did plenty to help lose it even before that.
Hell, just copy a few! You don’t even have to be smart enough to design one
Penn state,the worst shooting team in the big scores 90 points. There is a major defensive problem here.
This maybe controversial but I’m kinda sick of Coleman. Bad body language, non stop complaining, no help defense on the interior.
If anyone did 1/4 of what Coleman did they would be benched the entire game.

Are we forgetting about Maryland at home
I kept seeing Chester flabbergasted by our defense on the sidelines... That dude could defend. Why isn't he on charge in the defense? Or is he? I'm confused by the coaching staff. They all looked like idiots today
How does brad not learn from his mistakes ffs. harmon was inbounding again today. its these things that matter if he cant make the minor adjustments how can he adjust the major ones.

No amount of awful officiating could cause the massive dump we took in the bed over the last 150 seconds.
Ouch great take sir this team is what it is. We knew coming in we didn't have a PG I was never convinced Ty could do it. Domask either we just simply don't have a great ball handler on this roster. Its biting our butt now in the worst way and it will eventually cost us in March.What’s heartbreaking for me after tonight is that, hey … we might play great and win our First Round game! We might even catch lightning in a bottle and win our Second Round game!! However, I’m now just simply convinced it will run out … we’ll self correct eventually.
Going to have to eat crow and admit that we are softer than baby poo.
If Zach Hamer really is responsible for the changes to our defense, whatever they are....fire this bum into the sun.
Remind me again why we're wasting a ASSITANT coaching spot on a glorified waterboy whose only experience is under has -beens like Stallings and Bryce Drew and washing Lebron's jockstrap while making scouting videos for WNBA teams?

I'm still just dumbfounded by that 4 on 1.
Refs were enjoying hearing the home crowd cheer
Are we forgetting we lost to eastern?
I only live 30 minutes from the Final 4 venue this year. I am sure glad I didn't drop $5K to $7K per person for tickets to watch Illini play here. I did go to the Final four in Seattle and St. Louis, but this team just is not consistent enough for me to risk the money,
If Hawkins makes free throws, it's over. If Hawkins shows up at all tonight, it's over. If ANYONE played defense, it's over.
We let up 90 to one of the worst offenses the college game has to offer. That's impossible to even comprehend. Repeatedly getting beat to rim and watch layup, after layup after layup go down is impossible to comprehend.
This was a lack of focus from the top. We went up 14, then the layups started.
No one call cost us this game. A senior laden team needs to own this. The second best player on our roster needs to.own this.
Pointing at the refs and letting this team off the hook isn't ok.

In the grand scheme of life? Sure. But that seems a dumb question to ask on a fanboard for a college basketball team. Obviously most here care.
Refs were somewhat consistent in what they called the whole game. They did swallow the whistle on their press
I think another blown calls was the goal tend review.
Things I put ahead of the refs
1. Poor free throw shooting TSJ was around 68 percent. Hawkins 2 big misses.
2. How many bad turnovers did we have. 18 total
3. We don’t understand time and possession. We took a quick 3 with about 2 minutes left when we had about 20 seconds left on the shot clock.
4. How many east layups did they have on outbound plays. I think it was 6-8 points lost count
Change those 4 things we win by 15 all 4 go against us and some calls go their way you lose.
Giving up however many points in the last four minutes to lose 90-89 is no better than losing 38-33. One was a game with no offense and the other is a game with no defense.
That game was the nadir of the Bruce Weber era. What will this game be for Brad Underwood?
