Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan State

[Witherspoon_illini]

Can believe we’re losing these frauds again

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Guys are tired. Ben sucks. Yet Tre and DGL riding the bench. Something is wrong.

 

[TonyClifton]

Coaching disasterclass

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

This game is on Brad Freaking Underwood. Absolutely pathetic defensive game plan, terrible substitutions. No chance this team goes anywhere in the tourney b/c they’ll have one of these games.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Bye, Brad, I've had enough

Seems that shooting machine BU was so proud of is producing one of the poorest shooting teams in Illini history. Sadly, three pretty good shooters sat on the bench for most of the game.

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

Too much talent on this team to miss that many shots in a row

 

[Carl Spackler]

I don’t get Brad - the slightest adjustments here win the game - don’t settle for rushed threes - could be going thru morez on the baseline all day - BH.. never seen a guy miss so many open looks at this level before

Real question: can Brad actually coach at this level? He makes so many unusual decisions . . . is he actually worth the $?

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Tomi shooting one and one which should be double bonus because we can't attack the basket!

Sure enough he misses and it leads to our loss.

Coaching fail down the stretch.

I can’t remember seeing a team that makes zero adjustments throughout games. At least it’s a day closer to football season.

 

[Illk8]

Too much Ben …

Offense sucks … Defense sucks …

Horrendous coaching …

Staff changes Brad … No longer an option …

Yes, to everything you just said. What a letdown.

 

[D1959]

15 missed threes in a row let’s just keep jacking them up

 

[IndyOrange]

I’m over Brad. Let him go

 

[kyillinifan]

What a time to go cold.

 

[illini510]

Underwood deserves this loss. No adjustments, sitting 2 of your key rotational pieces out of pure stubborness. God, what a disgusting game

 

[foby]

So much for this being "winning time"

 

[sharpshot16]

Feel bad for TJ

 

[CV Illini]

Weak legs short shots. 7 man rotation will do that. And Izzo breaks the record on our home court.

 

[BackThatPassUp]

Why does Ben play so much?! I rather see Jake Davis. I'm done with this team.

 

[chadbrochill420]

sorry but the only frauds tonight are BU and the Illini. Joke of a team

 

[IlliniTaffy]

Staff changes or hot seat. Your move, Brad

I'd say it's more likely Brad is off to Austin than ever being on the hot seat here

 

[Illini in Indiana]

We were in the bonus with 12 minutes to go, .... I know lets just flick bad 3's. Drive the damn ball

 

[FloridaMan]

Outscored by 13 so far this half. At home. After hanging TJs jersey upside down. What a joke we have become. Ready for football season and a competent program.

 

[Battle89]

In the bonus

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Since the 14 minute mark when we quit attacking
