They worst team Wisconsin has had in 20 years is running Illinois off of the floor.

I understand that expectations should be tempered, but who really thought Illinois would be the absolute worst team in the conference?

I also understand that Underwood supposedly runs a complicated system, but holy crap. He isn't teaching them Advanced Calculus, or how to speak Mandarin. It's freaking basketball.

This team isn't improving, and quite frankly the statements saying otherwise are getting stale.

They are bad, and they should be embarrassed.

How soon until we get articles about Underwood being miserable in Champaign. I certainly would be. This team sucks.

No, he knows what he's up against. It's almost a full rebuild. It started with Smith, Damonte and Frazier. Ayo next year. If we can't get one of Okoro or Liddell, he may have bitten off a bigger chunk than any of us thought.

Back the hell off and quit giving up back doors. They obviously have not been taught how to pressure correctly or physically cannot do it. They turn their heads all the time and lose their man. Adjust already......

I stayed in a bad marriage for 21 yrs, finally had to leave to preserve my sanity. Been an Illini fan for 50 years. Guess I'm just plain nuts. Gotta be back at the home by ten. Nite-nite

Questionable coaching, bad roster, some highly overrated players, would curse any team. First time this year I really believe we may not win any games in the Big this season.

Probably gonna be the first game all season where I check out early. I will say this, and I know it gets old, but I don’t think people realize the damage Groce truly did to this program. That man is an absolute disgrace to the coaching profession and you can see that in the way his players play. Underwood will win here.

I just checked out. And yes, for the first time this season.

Where's the guy who guaranteed a win on page 1?

He should get locked in a room with the Wisconsin drummer boy for 8 hours.

Well, I wasn’t worried about black leaving, but truly, who would blame him

BW didn't help things AFTER a runner up finish in the NCAA Championship game....

This is a rebuild that started after that great season... Should never have gotten to this point. Now that it is here, we have to dig out of the BW/JFG YEARS. Not going to happen overnight. Unrealistic to think anything different...

The new NCAA punishment for cheating should be forcing schools to let Mike Thomas choose their coaches.

I’m thinking TJL murdered someone. How is Casey(or whatever his name is) in the game before him?

If Underwood doesn't get Okoro or Liddel, he won't even be here through three years. This is gawd awful to watch. Dare I say Groce bad....
