Kentucky 84, Illinois 75 Postgame

[D1959]

Need 10 more kylan boswell’s

 

[FoundersClub]

A season of coulda, woulda, shoulda.

 

[80'sIllini]

Changes need to be made … This team didn’t meet expectations … 7th in the Big Ten … Beating an 11 seed ??? Not good enough …

Hamer fired … Tyler demoted … Kwa demoted …

Kylan, Rez, Tomi and Tre back … Everyone else can go … And for crying out loud … BRING ME A VETERAN POINT GUARD WHO CAN HANDLE THE BALL !!!!!!

Portal opens tomorrow … Get to work …

This!
Plus Tomi needs to get in the weight room and toughen up overall. Both he and Morez need to stop bringing the ball down to their waist before getting into their shooting motion, especially in traffic in the lane.

I don't kow what BU's buy out is but to get to the second weekend only once in 9 years is underacheiving give he's the 10th highest paid coach.

 

[illinifan1987]

I've had it with this team. After this game, I'm not gonna watch the Illini again the rest of the season.

 

[fightingducks]

Thank god we took KJ over Igor Demin

 

[Turn N’ Burn]

How quickly does DGL hit the portal?

 

[spillini]

Evan Miya in shambles

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

But we were the better team. Nothing can convince me we weren't

You can't have a tendency of turning the ball over at that rate and shooting the ball so piss poor and say you were the better team.

 

[pvaughn8]

That was only half as bad as our average loss!

 

[PopChampaign]

DGL is gone, seen it in his eyes

 

[foby]

Having worked 3 seasons in a campground outside of Morehead, I REALLY DESPISE UK. This is horrid.

 

[ginabackes00]

How quickly does DGL hit the portal?

He played like he hit it three weeks ago

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Don't you mean "1LL"?

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Will die on a damn hill that KJ should’ve gotten 3 free throws to cut it to 5 with a minute left.. instead it’s a 5 point swing. Absolutely HORRIBLE. !!!!ing bull!!!!.

 

[ILLjuice]

Remember when everyone thought we were final four material lmao

 

[Heisenbobble]

If fans are fine with top-30 results, Underwood is your guy. If you want a real chance at a title, gotta find someone else at some point. I'm convinced of that.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

I want Boz back more than any other player! Dude has heart, is a leader and doesn’t give up!

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

In Year 1 Pope, has his team in the Sweet 16 but we’re supposed to be happy we at least made the tourney. Bullcrap. BU has to do better and at some point show that he can win big games.

 

[IndyOrange]

KJ with another turnover

 

[HailtotheChief]

Just to many lazy passes, lack if awareness, and focus. We need some physical dudes like Boz and Rez. Tomi get strong and Trey and Rez keep working on your shooting.

 

[jmwillini]

Bad coaching by ALL, only a couple came with a DAWG's mentality. D sucked, O pretty much did too.

Another disappointing end. At least we didn't lose by more than 10 this year, so that's growth.

 

[eas23]

We played poorly and deserved to lose, but the missed free throws in the 2nd half were a quiet killer.

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

I wonder if I will remember KJ at all? For all the hype, the team he led hasn't accomplished much. Is that harsh? No. Real? Yes.

Good luck to the kid, I hope he has a great professional career.

 

[foby]

1-9 vs Top 15 net teams this year. Simply not at the level we wanted.

I hope Morez/Boswell/Tomi all return next year. Good luck KJ/Riley with the draft. It’d be great to get both these guys back but doubt it happens.

Portal opens Monday.

Why not Tre?

 

[OrangeBlue98]

I’m going to remember KJ a bit more fondly than Matthew Mayer, but … not much.

I'll see him in Des Moines for an Iowa Wolves G-League game sometime next year, because he's nowhere close to being ready to play in the NBA.
