I still can't believe we picked up Tre White off of Skyy Clark's (of all people) recommendation

Still the most confusing addition of the off season to me. 3 schools in 3 years is usually a red flag
No way. Miller was good when he was the only one paying players. Last several years have been average. BU isn’t going anywhere but if he did, you gotta throw everything at Beard. That dude would have this program rockin.
It's a failure to be accountable for mistakes made. Coaches love to talk about that, in regard to players. They are somewhat less enthusiastic about the concept when it applies to themselves.

If Booth is so bad that he can’t see the floor, why did we recruit him?
We used to have a 9 man rotation
We are the only team in conference below 30%, and have attempted the most in conference. Second place in attempts is 28 attempts behind us. Laughable. Coaching staff needs to analyze that stat!

that's part of the problem with the NIL era. Fans foot the bill, and they don't get any ROI. They expect wins. If they don't get wins, why would they keep giving money? I imagine the NIL world gives the big boosters even more power than they've had in the past.

"Hello Illinois Basketball?"
"Yes?"

Great observation! MSU was hedging ball screens like their life depended on it because they knew we had the matchup going to the rim, but our ballhandlers just don't have the discipline to keep attacking...and that's on coaching

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
We have to get a win next week or we may be in real trouble.
With the tough stretch ahead we could slide to the bubble.

I respect your opinion but do you believe Underwood job is actually in trouble? Seems like he woukd have to have 2 more seasons lie this one to get canned.Too much Ben …
Offense sucks … Defense sucks …
Horrendous coaching …
Staff changes Brad … No longer an option …
No staff changes … Seat is on fire …
Your move Brad …
This loss is on BRAD … PERIOD …
Scoreless the final 8:30 … UNACCEPTABLE !!!!
I feel like I’m watching Calipari with the way Brad is coaching this season … And I am OVER IT …
Missed evaluation

I thought it was brilliant. Even Googled piorly
How do you watch what Dra brings and what Jake brought tonight and still play Ben as much as he did? It's just unfathomable.
Dra- I love you as an Illini and of course I want you back next year, but you do you and transfer to a coach that's going to treat you right my man. I'm tired of seeing Underwood screw you.

When DGL was in for the first time, he didn’t scratch the stat sheet but he drew two fouls against Sparty on him. That’s smart, scrappy basketball.
Prepare for the hints from Brad's agent that he needs an extension / salary raise because suitors are calling...
This. The issues we see now began last April. Portal recruiting was inadequate, but the European recruiting has masked that failing. Outstanding job in Europe (is that Geoff Alexander and Orlando Antigua) and with Will Reilly in Canada. Miss after miss after miss in the portal. This was a season a long time in the making.

Must have been a hammer evaluation
