Sorry if has discussed, since Underwood got hired, will he be coaching the team for the rest of the NIT or will Walker continue to be the head coach?

I want us to be able to go into Normal and take care of business, but I wouldn't really mind if our boys got a brief trip to Disney World

Walker is coaching until the end. Underwood will be around, but not anywhere near the bench.

It's only the NIT, but I'm hyped, Neil Funk.

Really excited to watch Illini tonight even thoughits only the NIT... hope makes things better.

 

[Dan]

Also of note here in the pregame ... the #Illini are running back the gray/silver alternates from last week's first round win vs. Valpo.

Tonight's officials: Brent Hampton, Randy Heimerman and Alfred Smith. I'll be honest. Not sure I've heard of any of them. #Illini

ISU goes down.

 

[Adnarel]

loool, we are getting UCF!

 

[KrushCow31]

Camera cuts away as people start throwing trash onto the court at ISU. Crazy ending.

 

[chrisRunner7]

I think that should've been a no-call.

Questionable call but what a whiny fanbase. They were crying all game.

Good thing Taco Bell has his safety goggles on.

Yeah. Not sure why we are playing tonight.

What a joke. Talking about the hire on the pregame and he brings up Cuonzo Martin as a reason he wasn't sold on it. Thought he'd be better. What a terrible platform to voice your disappointment on
