Duke had only 6 TOs, not 20.

A few observations:
Epic mismatch in talent. Not one, NOT ONE Illini player would start for Duke. KJ Tomi and Will might make the team but would ride the end of the bench.

KJ and Will played an NBA team today and looked completely overmatched.

Every team in NCAA basketball knows Illinois can't hit three pointers so don't bother to guard it. Did Duke contest even one three-pointer? Our three-point shots were always wide open. Doesn't matter. Truley pathetic.

The formula to beat Illinois is simple: double team KJ and pack it in so that Illinois is left only to shoot three pointers. Can we beat anyone at this point?

As usual we played very hard from wire to wire. Our defensive effort was there but couldn't stop an NBA team.

Booth is a baller. /s

Agree. I Said it before, please have those three come back, just one more year. I just want them to be drafted as high as they can be and right now their stock is dropping quick.

more hypothetical what ifs. What a joke. the old brad is gone. the new one is SOFT.

 

[Lysol623]

Brad Underwood has some explaining to do. This could seriously impact recruiting.

 

[PopChampaign]

He’s lost his mind is all

 

[Pikeillinifan]

This once Final Four capable team just had the worst loss ever in program history. The worst loss ever, that is almost incomprehensible.

Ben is a great kid. Not a guy to expose on a team like Illinois, trying to win at the highest level. Badly missed eval.

 

[pweo]

Thought Redd was going to outscore Ben

 

[BatteredWifeSchwartz]

I’m normally a pretty positive person, but I don’t even know what to say. That was as awful as I could possibly imagine. Where do you even begin. How do you fix this before the tournament…

 

[Ryllini]

And a Duke player just said this was a glorified practice. At MSG. On Primetime national television.
I don't care if these players hate coach, the school, and the state, that better be a check to the things hanging between your legs.

 

[NYILLINI]

Absolutely unacceptable. Give Chris Beard a blank check now.

Brad doesn't have the IQ to coach this level

 

[Jimbo]

2 for 26 from the three point line, yikes!!!!

And that was a good shooting night.

Duke had 6 turnovers. They had 20 points off of our 9 turnovers.

 

[NashvILLe05]

I’m officially calling out the guy that said “hanging TJs jersey upside down is the most embarrassing thing that could happen to the program”. Well, that didn’t age well.

This whole week has been a…

 

[soxillini74]

Not sure why everyone is upset. We have ELITE shooters. You will see. Just wait. Brad told us so.

 

[sacraig]

AI is a hell of a drug

 

[Illini2010-11]

Over last 3 games, llini got outscored by 78 points, with two of the beatdowns on a grand stage!!!

That alone is worthy of getting the pink slip.

 

[DICKnaggie]

You are contradicting youself, lol! I never said Underwood is worse than Groce or Weber.

 

[Orangeandblue72]

That's not actually true though.

We have not been any good since the start of the USC game.

Is that a real quote from Brad? I really can’t belive it. Tim Beckman all over again.

 

[Butters]

Duke had 20 Turnovers and they still beat us by 43... It helps that they had 28 assists.

I'm sure I stopped paying attention at the end, but Duke absolutely did not have 20 turnovers...

 

[NashvILLe05]

That’s what scares me most. Play anyone, anywhere mentality when you’re outclassed against one of the best and a program you’re aspiring to be like….then piss poor game planning, no in-game adjustments, and worse loss ever and worst in 50 years…on national television.

We have to push BU out behind the scenes. Can’t happen ever again to the Illinois brand.

Disagree. Epic mismatch in how the programs are run. We have very high talent. We have very below average coaching.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Both of the following are true:

1. This team is trash and Brad Underwood needs to look in the mirror and ask real questions

2. Chris Beard is a garbage person and anyone pushing him as a future Illini head coach needs to look in the mirror and ask real questions

 

[TheodoreRex]

Like I said... Delusional
