Just to add insult to injury, we’ve also lost the media timeout tic-tac-toe and halftime knockout competition…one of those nights for Illini nation…
Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke
- Status
I wonder how Antigua and Geoff feel to be taking a back seat to Hamer and Tyler.
You can't tell me this team would be worse with Coleman, Ty, and Sincere instead of Booth, Humdinger and Boswell.
You ditched 3 EDG proven illini guys for a No Show nepotism, juco trash, and leftovers from the pac10.
Seriously Brad can't see talent if it hit him in the face. It's the name brand and money. Not him. Send him packing.

Best post of the year.
Needs to cost Brad his job. Absolutely disgraceful
It's not asinine...it's asi-ten, asi-eleven, asi-twelve
Just embarrassed - we have to be better than this. Duke is young and play loose, we are young and play like we are scared. By the end of the game, with about two minutes left, we will start making shots and pull to within 10 points
Wow! Your username definitely checks out! You're right! Let's do this!
You made too much sense when you typed "Keep taking it to the rim . . ." BU wants more three-pointers.
NOBODY and I mean NOBODY thought we'd be this terrible shooting the ball. Anyone here who says that is full of it. The offense is running well. We're getting what we want in the paint. We're also getting good looks. Just not making them.
Three point shooting and getting crushed on the boards ....that's how the game got here and that's how the season got here. Hard stop. Anything else is completely overanalyzing.

I like your math !
right. Seriously this season. Wow.
I didn't expect to win this game, but I didn't expect to be embarrassed either.
Ok I kinda did expect that, but I was hoping it wouldn't happen.

Brad built this, it’s yet to be seen if he will own it. Regardless, hopefully Texas comes calling.
Underwood screwed up badly this year: Booth recruitment was absolutely inscrutable. White recruitment too (don't one of you so-called insiders try to say we "all" thought otherwise). KB has not worked out, which aligns with warnings some raised last April (not me, I hoped for much more -- I was wrong.).
Ty Rogers anchored to the bench as a redshirt: that sent and sends the message that we don't need warriors. A stinking message to send -- last night, I watched Michigan State warrriors BEAT their biggest rivals at their rivals place. We need Fighting Illini, not Whining Illini.
I want Underwood to succeed. Check that: I want ILLINOIS to succeed, and I think Underwood can do that. PizzaHut dude gots to stare in that dirty mirror, throttle his instinct to whine and BS, and do better. Next year. Do better. Or hit the road.

Made 11 straights 2s and missed 16 straight 3s.
It's pretty simple as teams have scouted our guards' tendencies. We flat-out don't make the necessary adjustments and then you can see the hesitation that leads to either another prayer from 3 or KJ turning the ball over

Ben is such a crazy liability, and anyone who looked at his performance last year vs. decent teams could see that. I can't even believe some people are seeing that he could come back at all. We can and should do better.

Well, I think the only chance of us getting back in this game is the list suddenly coming off from deep. Make a couple, get some confidence, angd go from there. Yeh, it probably won't work, but it's our only chance, imo. So if we keep shooting 3's, I'm not gonna complain if they're good looks. And the first half ones were pretty good looks
we need DGL and Will out there more
Any hints on if anyone is lurking in shadows waiting for the job to open?

The only thing I can come up with is
1. It's mental
2. Our conditoning is worse because of the illneses.
I'd argue it is a combo of both. I've had the flu A thats going around. It is no joke.
There are teams out there, I believe, that might not be the most talented, but they have pride in themselves and play tough defense.
I just don't get this team playing just awful defense. They'll never win anything with this pathetic defense.
He needs to practice the damn zone next year, just in case he needs it.
