You're overrating our talent. Did you see what happened to Tomi tonight? Did you watch Riley's defense? Duke has legitimate NBA talent on their roster. We have talented Freshmen that are getting bullied.

Wondering how long it will take to clear out the stench we left behind at MSG tonight.

Those bench points are so much more valuable than showing 4 and 5 star recruits that you won't be stuck behind recruiting mistakes like Ben.

DGL looks to have checked out in my opinion, and rightfully so. Kid has been done dirty and it's completely on Brad, but I'm sure he will tell the media how he has to play him more and they will have that conversation going into next week.

Both of the following are true:

1. This team is trash and Brad Underwood needs to look in the mirror and ask real questions

2. Chris Beard is a garbage person and anyone pushing him as a future Illini head coach needs to look in the mirror and ask real questions
Bruce Pearl is trash personified...yet #1 Auburn had no problem hiring him. So, there's that.
Do the ends justify the means? Depends on whom you ask I guess.

They would both take the job … Unless an elite blue blood was begging them to come …
Just thinking out loud here:

Kansas would be the domino we don’t want falling…prolly right? Kansas is most likely to just straight-up hire a cutthroat killer and not even pretend to worry about sketchy reps/optics.

The Tarholes are too up their own butt with their hires…and it causes them to make underwhelming choices…
It’s not unlike the old head fan contingent at Bloomington…
They’d ideally like to make their hire with some sort of six degrees type connection back to Dean/Bobby if at all possible.

That’s because it’s apparently the worst loss in program history. No one has ever been beaten this bad.

Poverty program …

I trust Josh to fix this more than I just Brad to fix this …

That’s all I’ve got folks … Enjoy the rest of your night …

Not trying to be snarky here at all. How did Tyler and Hamer happen under Josh’s watch?

Wow he said this?! Josh needs to fire him. If you go full Tim Beckman, there’s no coming back from that.

I could not care less about bench points if our starters were that effective.
 
#270      
No, I definitely would not be. But many others would not have a problem doing it.

I don't know that much about Beard, but you have to eliminate all other members of the human race to hire Pearl. Yet, he keeps getting jobs.
 
#271      
...I gave it a try. I self-reflected and really looked deep into my soul. And you are right..

I STILL want Chris Beard.

Is there going to be some fallout with regards to the Euro recruiting due to the fact of how bad this staff has failed KJ? He will still be drafted highly and righfully so, but no thanks to this staff. Why would Sarr or any other Euro want to come here money being equal?

He’s not, trust me. More 3’s, more Ben coming soon!!! Oh and more heartbreak and confusion! This team is ILL

No confidence in BU. None. If we lose here on out, even if we make the NCAAT, he has to go.

TSJ and Domask got us to that Elite 8. Basically TA’s guy and a kid that BU admitted he didn’t want initially. If Michigan doesn’t think they’re Harvard, TSJ goes to UM and we likely don’t even make the Sweet 16 last year. That would’ve warmed BU’s seat right there.

It should be really hot after all the blowout loses this year and tonight’s epic sh!t show. Lot of Illini fans paid good money to go to NYC for that game and we didn’t even show up. How many you think will fork out money for that trip again (or the program) as long as BU’s at the helm?
