Michigan State 79, Illinois 65 Postgame

Shame that on TSJ Night, they can't take a lesson from the man himself.

Drive and finish hard, you go to the line.

Drive and try to finesse the finish, you're likely going to miss and your opponent gets a fast break opportunity

Look I don’t wanna say Brad is on the hot seat yet, but he needs to get some better assistants asap. This season is basically a wash at this point if the in game coaching is this bad.

 

[WolfpackIllini]

Kudos to MSU
Coulda folded when down 16.
They were clearly more physical
and ultimately our guys wimped out going inside.

Brad Underwood teams sure love 4+ minute scoring droughts.

Beyond pathetic evening. From the top down to the kid who clips up the freaking banners.

Another career high for the opposing team’s player.

We need new assistants coaches for offensive and defense.

And we keep chucking 3s and Morez is on the bench and we can’t get a rebound.

This is bad bad bad coaching. Like horrible coaching. Most of this season.

Brad waits until MSU goes on a 10-0 run to take Ben out. We deserve to lose this game because of the coaching.

Ben with the most minutes out of the entire team. 30 minutes.

Wholesale changes in the off season Brad.

One day closer to football season my friends!

 

[LuckyIllini]

Hummer deserves the criticism but Boswell was absolute garbage. 30+ minutes with 1 shot attempt and 0 points.

24-42 in 2nd half

What an utter embarrassment for a coaching job tonight by one Brad Underwood. Not playing 2 key rotational players, allowing Humrichous to get abused by Kohler, allowing his players to shoot 30+ three's again when they are not a 3 pt shooting team, not making any adjustments. This loss goes straight onto Brad freaking Underwood.

Scrap your idea and get Tre White and DGL back into the rotation right this instant

 

[spillini]

Brad needs to stop trying to talk about Izzo like he's at the same level. He's nowhere close.

 

[stlrunner]

Outscored 15-0 in the last 8:32…despite being in the bonus. Rather than attack the paint, we chuck threes relentlessly. Embarrassing.

 

[BlueLeader]

Laughing stock.

 

[Illinijoe]

Brad Underwood returning the program to mediocrity. Horrible job again

 

[Illinimark]

Where’s Tre White?

Where’s Tre White?

Shopping for a new team to transfer to.

Maybe Brad will get a better offer and move on with his offensive and defensive coaches. I think we all expected more than a team that doesn't run plays and allows his players to jack 3's at will. Just dumb. I would trade Brad for many other coaches in the Big. To have 2 possible 1st round picks and see our team playing street ball is criminal

 

[chibar]

Upside down Jersey was an omen

 

[constant lurker]

No more defending Underwood, pretty evident tonight what a good coach looks like.

 

[Witherspoon_illini]

Brad not calling timeouts when the team is cold or giving up long scoring runs is nothing new

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

What an absolutely waste of talent letting everyone believe there are no consequences for just jacking 3’s at will!

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

I’m out on this team 100%. Not going anywhere and it’s a lot on coaching. I wouldn’t be mad if Underwood took another job. He absolutely cannot win big games consistently.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

3rd home loss in conference. That's unacceptable.

A staff shakeup is required at the end of the season. I'm shifting from neutral on Underwood to negative.

Brad won’t make changes, and even if he does we’ve seem this same thing over and over again.

It goes deeper than the assistants, but they certainly aren’t helping things.

 

[jacekpardol]

Right when I saw Morez on the bench and Ben out there for muh - free throwing shooting - I turned the game off and knew it was over.

 

[altgeld88]

I’m at a complete loss. Just. Yeah.

In the late ‘80s we led Iowa by ~25 at half and lost in OT. Am hard pressed to recall a bigger home collapse than tonight given the talent we have.
