He is better off the ball and getting in position to shoot the three.Epps is a bucket getter and Illini don't have a lot of those on the roster. Would hate to lose him.

That is not a good comparison at all. Weber was no longer making the NCAA tournament and Turner had losing seasons. Underwood is winning at a much much higher percentage than either of those CoachesI think I'd rather keep the group of fans who wanted to move on from Ron Turner and Bruce Weber even though they both won a Big Ten championship. It seems that group's been right about our coaches over the last few decades a lot more than they've been wrong. Got to still love the fans with the abundance of optimism that believe next year will be the year.
Do you think he will do that with or without a jumper?
As a completely baseless response to that baseless statement, i would eat my @#$-+$@ hat with ketchup outside SFC if that statement was applicable to Ty.Purely baseless statement incoming, I could see this being Ty (or anyone like him at another program) who flashed both increased brilliance and importance to the team as the season went on.
I agree completely. I’m just saying based on who has the leverage after a year, he’s got the most imo. Not saying he’s using it. Id be shocked if he’s using it, but in this day and age, can’t really be shocked by anything.As a completely baseless response to that baseless statement, i would eat my @#$-+$@ hat with ketchup outside SFC if that statement was applicable to Ty.
I can think of other guys on this year's team or on other rosters that I'd buy it, but not that dude.
Fair enough!I agree completely. I’m just saying based on who has the leverage after a year, he’s got the most imo. Not saying he’s using it. Id be shocked if he’s using it, but in this day and age, can’t really be shocked by anything.
It's weird being the same age as old peopleOkay, okay I get it. All of you are old geezers.
I'm not old... I'm big boned. Oh waitIt's weird being the same age as old people
Didn’t Sincere also confirm?Luke just confirmed he is back next year on Lon and Piper's radio show. So that is the first public confirmation (not that anyone has to confirm in public)

It is interesting that BAM has been to an elite 8 was fired from KSU and then KSU goes to another elite 8That is not a good comparison at all.

I feel like this was said about RJ last year. You just never know…My offseason bold take: Ty Rodgers will be first or second team ALL B10 next year
Well, I was responding to someone who's argument was only Big Ten championships...But if you want to talk winning percentage. From 2009-2011 Bruce Weber won 65 games and lost 29 games, had a large segment of the fanbase done with him, wasn't quite bad enough to get fired, and he was gone after one more bad year. Over the last 3 years, 2021-2023, Brad Underwood has 67 wins and 30 losses. I'll grant you that Brad's best 3 year window 68 wins and 27 losses is a higher win percentage than 2009-2011 Bruce Weber, but I don't think 1 win/year over that timeframe is a much much higher percentage or that the fanbase is after someone slightly better than the years before Bruce Weber was fired.That is not a good comparison at all.

When BU was hired, if the fanbase was told that in year's 3-6 of his tenure he would average a 22-10 record with 2 total tournament wins, I'm not so sure the hire would have been viewed favorably.
He was told to by the staff… but who knows at this point.Yes, but he also deleted his confirmation Tweet, so….
He was told to by the staff… no worries.
As in: the staff didn’t want to put out a precedent where all guys staying had to announce they were staying. Not like they want to push out Sencire.The staff told him to delete a Tweet where he confirmed he was coming back? Now THAT makes me worried for Sencire.

I’m sure they very much want to keep the Bandit.
I wonder how much revamping the entire roster with transfers impacted KSU's meteoric rise this year?It is interesting that BAM has been to an elite 8 was fired from KSU and then KSU goes to another elite 8
Meanwhile we haven’t even made it to a sweet sixteen but BU has had good teams with great conference success. If Covid would have wanted 1 month I think BU would have had more March success
