Yes, but if Brad can’t see this and make the adjustment himself …

 

[Jersten]

In not a coach by any means but there's just no discipline... none on offense, or defense.

 

[OB positive]

Brea comes around screen and Morez is in drop coverage at free throw line. Give their best throw point shooter a wide open look. Brilliant defensive game plan.

 

[Chief Illiniwek's Family]

omg this is so painful

 

[Illini8420]

It’ll be time for some serious coaching changes even if not a full change

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Well they are shooting 28-49 and 8 for 17. pretty pretty good I might really really say

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Woah, an inbound we had to burn a TO on?? Haven’t seen that one before

Absolute dog … Bring me freaking Samarrippas ….

 

[OskieWowWow]

Nobody hedging the Brea ball screens...why???

 

[NASchamp]

This was a winnable game…and it still MIGHT be if we pulled our heads out of our butts…

Thats why it pisses me off more than other tournament losses in the past.

Agree. That’s what’s so painful about this team. Always self-inflicted.

Let me add... no EFFORT either

 

[PopChampaign]

Get KJ off that guy

Too late for all that

 

[Oracle21]

Brea is cooking us

 

[punchabove33]

The team gave it, it’s all…. Not built to win. No leadership.

Thank you Illini ‘25 for the hype, hearthburn and heartache…

Glad we did not get trounced by xavier

 

[blife]

we have got 0 50/50 balls

 

[FloridaMan]

Tre mugged all the way to the basket with no call. lol

 

[FoundersClub]

Who made the KJ on Brea decision?

 

[New Creation]

and we are more worried about getting back versus crashing the glass... The game plan starts with, we are scared of them vs make them fear us...

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

DROP FREAKING COVERAGE!!!!!!!!!

 

[Flyin' Illini]

When your only offense is hoping your 7 foot center can stand outside and continue to hit three pointers, that's a problem.

 

[TheodoreRex]

I'd bet my life savings that Kentucky will be lucky to score 70 for the entire game against Tennessee in the sweet 16. This feels like the Loyola game all over- Brad getting taken out to the wood shed and getting his A$$ whipped by Pope... All too familiar story.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Can we please just get knocked out the tourney in a close, hard-fought game for once? These humiliating losses to end the season are crushing me.

 

[azillini1]

Morez does too....when he gets to play.

He didn't get into the 2nd half until 11:40 left. I would not be happy if I were him.
