    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    I don't think Underwood is a good enough coach to win a National Championship. The last non probable Hall of Fame Coach to win a NC was Kevin Ollie with UConn in 2014. He has already maxed out with his current achievements. Which is pretty darn good by the way.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    So, you and just about everyone else thinks we should have started 4 freshman this year? You are nuts!! Will Riley in my opinion has a higher upside than KJ. Will was the highest rated recruit we have had in 20 years and he could not start early on. It takes time to develop freshman players...

    Sure the kids were awful at times this game, and probably deserved to lose with all the turnovers and bad shooting. But, it's been clear Underwood struggles with end of game situations. I've heard Brad say many times that you should not call a timeout in a final possession of the game with the...

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    Coleman turned back the clock to his freshman sophomore days. I think he had to much pub this week about being the best troll and was not locked in on playing tonight.

    Arkansas 73, Illinois 63 Postgame

    The only thing I think Underwood has done better than his recent predecessors is hire Antigua, Coleman, Frazier and Anderson.
