Brads ego and stubbornness has always been his Achilles heel.
Rutgers 82, Illinois 73 Postgame

the old guys they got was a diva who won 3 games in the ACC, and someone from 6-14 evansville.
See I am not trying to call you out ... More so the group as a whole that continues to compare this era to the Groce era ... Groce SUCKED ... Anything is an improvement ...
This is the freaking University of Illinois ... The expectation is 2nd weekend at WORST ... EVERY. SINGLE. FREAKING. YEAR. Competing for BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS ... REGULAR SEASON AND TOURNAMENT ... EVERY. SINGLE. FREAKING. YEAR.
Failure to meet those expectations consistently may result in termination ... Period ...
Getting old takes investment. And not necessarily the money kind.
I’m just saying if we’re gonna say the coaches are making the players look bad when they lose, we better say the coaches are making the players look good when they win (the elite 8 run). It doesn’t go both ways

We’ve all been waiting for Brad to go nuclear
It’s like they are told to literally NEVER go under a screen. No matter where you are at on the court.
All I hear is "excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse." All of these guys, save the walk ons are being paid way too well to look like this with 2, possibly 3, NBA players at this point in the season. The time for relaxation is OVER! It is hair on fire, all hands on board time to kick it in the !!!! Period!
Miller is no Groce…..get a !!!!ing clue.
I am at a loss here: Underwood hand-picked these guys last April. He got the shooters he wanted, the positional size he wanted, the ballhandling he wanted, the skill he wanted. And he picked these guys, with the character they have. These are the guys Underwood chose. Warts and all.
I disagree. Between Coach Brad, assistants, and staff alone we are spending upwards of 10 million. ROI, elite 8 run has been the outlier. I am so appreciative of the turn around. With NIL, facilities, and money it's time to be truly great each year. My goodness Uconn and Nova have won 6 titles in 25 years. That's astonishing to me.
I think people are missing the point. You have to have a better offensive game plan coming into this especially after the OSU game. Pound it down low and get some easy ones…play inside out. Instead we chuck 1000 3s, get way behind and can’t finish. Thats offensive coaching and it was atrocious. And bad offense in the 1st half led to a lot of easy buckets for Rutgers. Coaching tonight starting out was as bad as I’ve seen in a really long time.
That is my view as well: we're out of excuses.
Tired of all the bs here. BU is the damn HC and he is soiling the sheets. Let’s Tim walk, and has son try to run stuff is terrible. BU has an ego worse than NIL expectations. Just sick and tired of excuses. BU is solely responsible for screwing this up.
So one Elite 8 run out of 7 seasons (and about to be 8), with no other second-weekend runs, is good enough then?
Same here. After the Oregon game, I was really thinking of looking into tickets, but a family thing came up that weekend, so aside from missing a chance to enjoy the Big Apple, I probably lucked out on that one.
Brad too. Remember that trash offense he brought here that was gimmicky? That Tyler had to make a hard sell to get him to change? Yeah he stinks too.
That's what is so frustrating about nights like tonight. I can't reconcile the approach in the comeback against Ohio State with the shot selection and offensive movement early in the first half. How does that happen?

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
Rutgers is a bad team.
We are absolutely an average team that has played very well in some games, but average.

Can someone who probably knows a lot more about basketball explain to me why Brad had Morez parked on offense at the 3 point line late in the game when we really needed him to get put backs for us or lord forbid a nice pass to dunk it?
And then they pass it to him out there and he foolishly drives to the basket and gets foul #4
Didn't seem to be smart BB to me, but that's probably because I know nothing.

Because Brad literally said he wants to lead the league in 3pt attempts before the season started and he’s stubborn as a mule so he’s gonna die on that hill.
Nah. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that he's building for next year to be the championship team.
But, when you have the means to be competitive, and aren't,,,you fail. *competitive is NOT getting drubbed at an 11-11 Rutgers team.
team.
