Brad Underwood is not a good basketball coach and he needs to be fired. He is out coached in every single big game and his late game coaching has lost us a bunch of games. Yeah it’s great that all of our losses are in close games but why is that? It’s because our coach cannot make late game adjustments. I mean we just drew up a play down 3 with 5 seconds left to practically WALK THE BALL UP THE FLOOR and jack up a FORTY FOOT SHOT. I am tired of pretending like we owe Brad 7 more years of this bullsh*t. He can’t coach. Go to K-state and we’ll pay someone who can.

Poor refs, 60% on FTs and missed front ends too and then giving up long rebounds gets you beat. Some of those calls were awful but have to hit FTs.

Plus Tomi and Z shot selection when they have struggled all year i just dont like at key moments. We were lucky Keaton had such a good look to tie at the end. I wish it had fell.

Literally the same game as the home OT loss.

You’re up 60-45 with 11 minutes left and find a way to lose.

I don’t have much confidence for the NCAA tourney. Very weak mentally. Not getting much help from the coaching either. When you have this many blown leads and OT losses, that’s a coaching problem.

Here we go again …

9-31 from 3 … Yet we just KEEP CHUCKING …

Davis and Mirk the ONLY guys to make more than one three …

We can’t guard anyone … Give up 70 to these Wisco guards … Bam lockdown defender ??? GMAFB … Horrible !!!!!

THEY HAVE TWO GUYS and we let them TORCH US !!!!!! AGAIN !!!!!! NO ADJUSTMENTS from Game 1 !!!!!!!!!

OUTREBOUNDED by these dudes ?????? CANNOT HAPPEN !!!!

I’ll let the tourney play out … And I hope we absolutely kill it but IMO it’s Second weekend or there needs to be serious discussions about the future and whether that includes Brad or not … 1 for 9 on second weekends just simply doesn’t cut it at this program …

This end of season/down the stretch performance has been flat out UNACCEPTABLE !!!!!!!!

To the “but Brad has consistently won in the regular season” crowd, I say:

Good is the enemy of great.

w.t.f. and wisky should have been tired too! Boswell with the dumbest single play of the game to get Boyd fired up, get his first foul and get the refs calling everything to "control" the game.

Davis missing the front end of a 1 and 1. that was the first moment i was resigned to losing this one

Brad Underwood team in March.
While others play better and peek.....illini consistently (for past 4 of 5 seasons) are running on fumes and playing like crap.

I guess we are still better then where we were pre underwood era. I hope zero hopes this team makes a sweet 16 or better.

I won’t miss Tomi or Ben and can underwood recruit some guards that can defend. I won’t miss Boswell either he couldn’t guard me

How do we not know to attack the basket when we've got size mismatches all over the court? Or a 15-point lead? Or mismatches with a 15-point lead?

This is not advanced basketball stuff, you can see it coming a mile away, and it is 100% how we're gonna get bounced from the tourney.
