This certainly can't help the European recruiting, can it? Watching a total regression, especially from a guy who will be a lottery pick, is not a good look.
Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

This team is truly soft. Don't think White was a miss, but Hummer and Booth were. Tomi is extremely important, but a bit slow. Missing Morez down the stretch was a huge loss, and not letting DGL and Riley play huge minutes was a coaching misjudgment. I hope the two guard coming want to become B1G warriors and smart players. Not sure if they will help the need for toughness, shooting, and defense, but that is what is needed. Tomi needs to get stronger an quicker IMHO, and that can be done.
Sadly,, my biggest question about his team is will they accept and invitation to the NIT or another end of season event. I can't see an NCAA tournament bid in their future. Others may think so, but I can't imagine why they would be invited.

NarrowJ -- you are one of the posters I always read here.
Maybe this will resonate with you, maybe not: Underwood chose these guys just 10 months ago. Portal transfer guys with D1 experience and film to judge them by; or European pros (KJ very young, Tomi not young); or Will Reilly.
I feel like the staff really SHOULD have been able to better determine whether we could run an NBA spread or not. Staff blew it, in my view.
You don't need to agree with me, lol. I am just mad that our squad doesn't look like it is going to get to the promised land this year.

Good start
Plus letting Loyola beat Kofi and Ayo, just embarrassing and a complete waste of amazing talent 100% on the coaches.
Bad coaching.
Uhhh is like 19-14 good enough to get into the tournament…assuming we can beat Iowa and win 1 in the BTT?
After the NIT Tourney. No way this team gets in the NCAA tourney.

Scheme. Lack of adjustments. One 18 yr old can't carry a team. If your coach is ok with 1/18 what do you do?

Brad Underwood and his offspring
If they're going to fall back, there's only one way to make them come out. You know the answer. What makes it look worse is that we have no post presence. That's hurting on both ends.
