We are losing by 37 and have 16 points in almost 14 minutes... Please stop telling me it's irrational to say Underwood's seat should be hot.. Again, we are Illinois, our program is better than this

This team has fully quit on Brad...

How many coaches have left us?

How many good players have left us?

Where's the family and culture?

Does it look like these players want to run through a wall for Underwood?

Thank you. A lot of money. Thank goodness I have the fellowship of a good Illini friend and met some Illini fans at the bar pregame. Had a nice drive up today. Had lunch at the place in New Brunswick where we’ve enjoyed beer and Stromboli at the Rutgers football and basketball wins in late ‘23 and last November.

Beautiful sunny day on the east coast. So there’s all that. Enjoyable walk through Lower Manhattan.

That sucks. I'd have to agree. Even in the bad Weber and Groce years, we knew we sucked. We didn't have a single, let alone 2 1st round picks on our team! This takes the cake.

I'm on record for loving BU. But this year he has tons of talent. He also coached a team with Ayo, Kofi, and some truly EDGs to a 2nd rd loss.

He can't seem to get us to the next level. Stubbornness is his downfall.

NEXT?

Really we are about the only team with a whole new roster. Movement is typical. What happened from last year to this year for us is not.

Beat Iowa and you can rest easy. This bubble this year is just awful. Our SOS and Q1 wins have us in, but winning a game versus a 8, 9 or 10 seed is a completely different story.

Shut up with the beat Iowa bullcrap. This team stinks . As a Chicago Bear’s fans the Illinois Brad delusional fans reminds me of the Delusional Justin Fields fans . Brad ain’t it . You can keep blowing smoke up your butt and thinking Brad would is going to lead Illinois to a national championship or get a real Coach. I’m done until Brad is gone .

If the last 6 halves of basketball haven’t been a train wreck. I’m not sure what is

Train wreck is Bruce Weber’s team putting the entire State Farm Center to sleep during games. Even Henson teams the last couple of years were brutal to watch. This is a solid basketball team getting beat by an excellent Duke team.

We're actually better from 3 than 2 this half. That's good right?

This team will burn a ton of good will the fanbase had. Sucks as that was really hard fought to get back.

I agree it doesn't change the outcome for this one, but I think it has affected other games and the continued game-planning is maddening. We are not a good shooting 3 point team and have been very bad for awhile. Yet it continues to be the focal point even when we have had success getting it to the rim.
