Yes, several commenters continually tried to say that Izzo was talking about his own players. It was very clear during the halftime segment that he was dissing two Illinois players Williams and Jones. I'm really not sure where they got the idea that he was talking about two of his own players...

Nope, I'm sure you have it wrong. In any case, it really doesn't matter. This game is over.

I'll check that, but I didn't hear it that way.

"Those guys haven't made 3s since the turn of the century." Izzo making fun of our two 3-pointers. Yikes!

I'll be happy if they keep it under 20.

This reminds me of the Missouri game. The better team is losing...and should not be. But you had to know Izzo wasn't going to take any more crap off of his guys after losing 3 in a row. He's up by 13 and he still acts like he's behind.

BU standing on the sidelines with his arms crossed. Can't say I blame him.

I said after the Rutgers game that I didn't think we needed to be building a statue to BU just yet. But if the Illini keep going in this direction, I might need to start gathering the materials. Sure, the guys are playing better, but I have to give credit where credit is due. On the other...

Okay, I'll bite. First, this ranking IS good news. And while I never said I wanted BU to be fired, I did (and do) question his coaching ability. I also said I hoped I would be proven wrong and I hope that I continue to be proven wrong. BUT, let's don't get too far ahead of ourselves: (A)...

I hope the magic number isn't 20, because I don't see 11 more wins out of the 17 games left. Hope I'm wrong. The Illini would have to play much better than they have to get 18 wins let alone 20. Losing the Maryland, Miami, and Missouri games really hurt chances to make the tournament.

This is painfully correct...

While losing to MSU by 20 on their court was not good, the loss itself was not unexpected. For me, it was the Braggin' Rights game vs. Mizzou when this team showed how bad this season could turn out. To be that soft in that game against a mediocre opponent tells you much of what you need to...

All you guys know the Xs and Os better than I do. I mostly like to sit back, enjoy the forum, and read what you have to say. But in my opinion, Underwood is the problem. He is not the coach we thought we were getting. This team has WAY TOO much talent to play this poorly. A bad game here...
