63-28 finish by Cincy, is that right?
Cincinnati 71, Illinois 51 Postgame
Any chance some of this is because of the assist coach changes? Underwood talks about how the assists alternate creating game plans. Our assistants are killing it in recruiting but may not be great in game planning?

still think the talent is there to be a good team at some point, but we are definitely not that right now. hope there’s no deeper issues other than just adjusting to life post-Ayo

Look guys, it's ok, clearly Brad was just trying to send a message to his players and also show JJ Taylor we need him. Coaching and recruiting 4-D chess.

Hey, at least the coach can eat hot wings
Marquette was a wake-up call. Tonight shows us that our guys slept through it.
Either Underwood made no effective coaching moves after that game, or our guys just simply didn't listen to him. Either way, it's bad right now.

Underwood thrives on being outcoached.
You guys remember all those games where we’d fall apart in the second half followed by our patented Illini fake rally that comes up short? Well - we successfully avoided that. So that’s cool.
The comment i saw on the game thread that I think might be more accurate than most criticisms of curbelo is that the team has adopted his lackadaisical and carefree attitude. I see that. No fire when things start going bad. Immediately start whining and shaking their heads instead of righting the ship. Look like they are playing on the playground instead of having a system. It has to end now. This team is as talented as any we’ve had in a long long time and we look like garbage.
Underwood has to change the attitude of the team now…and I think installing an actual offense might be a good idea on top of that.

Total. Complete. Embarrassment.
And if anyone says that BU will use this as a teaching tool later in the season and it will help us in the long run....

Pride comes before a fall. Definitely overrated. This team needs to get humble and hungry. It's not a talent issue. Cincinnati and Marquette just played with more heart and more effort. No "eye of the tiger" in these guys at all. As Rocky said, "It's not how hard you hit, it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." Hopefully these guys will do that. We need the toughness, drive and grit of a Dee Brown, Andres Feliz, Chester Frazier.

Except when we win more B1G games last year in our history...and Ayo misses 3 of those....and we win the B1G Tournament?

At least we can only go up from here
