This is pathetic...really. How can you play like we did against Iowa and then pee down your leg against this team? Time to have one of those Jekyll and Hyde games in the second half

Kofi doesn't even bother to get a hand up. He's just an uninspired guy much of the time. I can see why Underwood gets ticked. There's only so many times you can yell at a guy.

1 second left and we don’t even contest the shot. Obviously we know he’s shooting it

Rough half for defense and offense. I’d like to think we pick it up fairly well in the second half, Indiana is getting a little cocky and our guys noticed

For a team who swears they are good at defense, we are not very good at defense.

Kofi what was that? Put a freaking hand up dude, the clock is expiring

Bad Illini back again. We refuse to pass the ball to Kofi. I don’t know we certainly play down to our competition. It is tough to watch.

Coach Underwood's affinity to continue to play Miller huge portions of minutes and curbelo in last 2 minutes of games is going to get us beat and disappointed! This is why he is not a top-tier coach. I love loyalty, I absolutely love commitment, and dedication. I believe you have to try something different. Its not working.

There continues to be many questions about BU and this staff. Still not convinced he can motivate elite players. No way the team we have with the talent we have should be playing this up and down. Something is not right.

Get Kofi the ball, get Kofi the ball, get Kofi the ball. If I say it 3 times maybe it'll happen this half.
Can't get it to him when 3 guys sag and he stands still. We have forced it a few times we shouldn't have. Kofi needs to work to present an entry angle and the guys just need to make the shots they are giving us.

Kofi is not moving to get open. He just doesn't look to be able to maintain his high motor.

Right? You see the ball coming his way with two seconds left just take to the air. Too early would be better than too late (or, um, none at all). Sound impossible? Plan and anticipate once you see him pitch camp.

This isn’t a good take. Miller is a growing freshman and you will need him. Not playing will make it worse but this team won’t go far without Miller

You shouldn't have to motivate elite players or they're not elite. Elite players motivate not only themselves, but those around them. This isn't an Underwood issue. It's a leadership issue. This is high D I college basketball. If guys need the coaches to throw a hissy fit to get energized...you have a roster issue.
