I continue to be confused by BU’s timeout strategy.

 

[Bigtex]

The smartest player underwood has coached

 

[sacraig]

The worst, obviously.

Beating Oregon may have been a Pyrrhic victory in hindsight. It made us think we could just fire unlimited threes as a substitute for offense and essentially set the stage for the rest of this failure of a season.

 

[Jet Jockey]

Yep, dude is just in a zone.
We are hanging around. Guys puking, guys playing hurt hurt not just sorta hurt, doghouses, contracts, how do you not love Illinois basketball?

and BU calling time out after we finally feel good after a 3

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Shocker. Brad calls a timeout after Illinois hits a 3.

He was shocked ... Didn't know what to do ...

 

[the juiceman cometh]

I'm sick of hearing about how the entire team has been fighting off the flu for a month. Flu shots for everyone next year and maybe we can hold our collective ish together

We need to only recruit guys with strong immune systems and short necks.

Lets ride a Will and Ben show to a win.

Booth wtf

Wish we could have snuck a different #0 on the trip

Give me AJ Redd ...

I hate that !!!!ing time out. Why does he always do that.

He did call one in the first half, when Whisky was on a run. I almost fainted.

 

[AnnaMay]

I hate that !!!!ing time out. Why does he always do that.

Because we have like 7 players and he wants to get then a long break with the TV timeout?

 

[Coop70]

This year is exhausting. Faith and hope are fading.

 

[SVSTORM]

lol what? Thats a really good use of a timeout

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

He inbounds the ball quite well, after Wisky makes a basket.

 

[Retro62]

Booth is unplayable

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Wish we could have snuck a different #0 on the trip

He shouldn't be allowed to wear #0 ...

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Having Ben knock down shots is huge. Helping keep us in this one

 

[HailtotheChief]

Ben needs to breathe even if he did run a 4min 19 mile

 

[azillini1]

You see the potential in him, but he certainly has not shown lottery type performances for quite a while.

 

[SuperMetroid]

and BU calling time out after we finally feel good after a 3

Think he’s pissed about all the offensive rebounds we’re giving up

 

[FromTheLogo]

Brad's timeout calls are perplexing to say the least.

 

[Dragons89]

I hate that !!!!ing time out. Why does he always do that.

Because we aren’t playing defense and rebounding!!! He’s pissed and has every reason to be.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

THAT’s when Brad calls a time out?? WTH

He's playing a seven man rotation, three of which don't contribute. He needs to manage the minutes as well as possible. Guessing he's balancing his timeouts with the TV timeouts.
