And maybe a strange shot taken at Derek Piper too?
The shot selection of Jack a Shot without even thinking of at least one pass tells me he has just one goal. Get drafted go NBA and see my former ILL teammates in a rearview mirror!

Maybe Tre is in the doghouse because he told Brad his game plan was sh!t.

Well deserved win for the Spartans. They simply played harder, smarter, and tougher. They were down 35-21, and end the game with a 58-34 run.
Underwood just hasn’t put enough toughness in this team. He’s created a culture of excuses and it starts with him. I think his post game at MSU where he whined about KJ’s minutes lit a fuse for MSU. And you got an MSU team that was extra motivated after the loss to Indiana.
Bottomline we lose way too many home games. Can’t blame the fans anymore. This is a staff problem. This season, given the money spent, is a disappointment. No other way to describe it

This is as mad as I’ve ever been after an Illini game.
That escalated quickly. What happened with Tre?

Nobody understands anything about whatever the !!!! Brad is doing with this rotation. He’s LOST.
Two first round NBA picks and likely 2 other NBA players on the roster and filled out with some strong talent....and the NIT is the level to which the program should aspire? Likely you could throw darts to pick a coach that would take this roster to a higher level. Lot of stubbornness showing along with the repeating failures.

Is there a guy on our roster who very notably thrives on taking the ball to the bucket, something we became allergic to after like the 10 minute mark (when we were in the bonus, no less)?
prolly been mentioned already, but illinois did not score again after this
You can thank the coach for the roster turnover
Or a distress signal.
I'll say it again: one season saved by TSJ and Domask shouldn't save Underwood's !!!. If he misses the second weekend with this roster, his seat needs to be super hot.
Bummer. I was hoping he would leave.
100% agree
Between the coaching, jersey retirement, Izzo record on our court and team performance just an embarrassing night man. Sad.
