Game Thread: Illinois vs Kentucky

[New Creation]

If brad doesn't make changes on the staff this off - season he isn't serious about winning a national championship...

 

[fightingducks]

The season was not a failure, but it surely did not meet expectations. Make adjustments on the roster and staff for next year.

7th in the big ten is a failure

 

[jmwillini]

Defensive scheme just makes it way way too easy for UK.

We have a defensive scheme????

 

[BigE]

I beg that one reporter on the postgame ask: "Once they burnt you the first 20 times on drop coverage, why did you continue to play it?" - I'd love to hear Brad's answer.

I don't care if the beat us 50 times that's what we're going to do!

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Maybe Ben needs to tell himself “swish” before he shoots the 3 too….

 

[logjam]

This isn't done. We gotta get a few stops and get a little run. Still 7 min left.

Hell yes...!

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

KJ getting absolutely cooked on D tonight. Rough end to a brief career. Good player but I Don’t see him as a Top 10 pick but what do I know.

isn’t that the definition of failure?

 

[krushalot2005]

I know we went to the Elite 8 last year but is Brad actually a good coach or just a good recruiter? Also nepotism kills..

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

I know we don't press, but like, it's the last game of the season so, why not?

Hamer wears Crocs!

 

[FoundersClub]

Round of 32 exit.
7th place finish in the Big Ten.

We pay Brad too much to consider that a success. Imagine he would say as much himself.

 

[Jon]

Someone turn on the Will Riley Signal

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Ok, we still have enough time to go on a run here but it needs to start now

 

[altgeld88]

I feel badly for Kylan.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

This is Illinois with Underwood. This is essentially the modal outcome.

 

[Julie Meinart]

Every year it looks like we're going to have a winner and every year it's a disappointment. We all get our hopes up and it ends the same every year since 2005. Basically the same. Just never know which team is going to show up. Never know if Brad's going to make any adjustments. Usually not. I thought basic coaching 101 was if how you're playing is not working then you adjust. At least suggest to the other teams game plan. And I'm confused every year..

Thanks, needed the laugh.

 

[hiberto]

in the bonus again. get to the paint and get fouled, stop the clock and get back in this

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Tomi is exhausted he's just ball watching

 

[Captain 14]

SEE! We've been saving ourselves

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I’m so drunk already … I might die if we come back. Let’s find out.

 

[LarryGotFouled]

John Groce fake rally

 

[spillini]

We can blame Hamer all we want, but the decision to continue the drop starts and stops with Brad. I love Brad, but if anyone here doesn’t believe he has intimate knowledge with how to run a defense and how ours is currently being played, you are fooling yourself.

Thank you. This is our ceiling without supplementing with a strong X and Os person running O and D.

 

[dainjazoner]

fake rally. they cant string together multiple stops
