How many times has Brad said we came out less prepared to play since he said that would never happen again?

All of them except Iowa game

He needs to coach better and make adjustments.

for what exactly? When he tried to slap the ball outta that Moc player's hands? I thought it was a dumb foul but certainly not tech worthy imo.

I'm not sure he even fouled him, looked to me all he ever hit was the ball.

We Won.

Throwing the ball at mid court after a turnover...the announcer actually said as such...the double slap down low was weird, either the ref didn't blow the whistle and he kept playing or he was very frustrated late in the play. I'm good with his effort and play...just thought he got us close a few times cough...dmw to a situation that this game had no room for.

Well thank God for Coleman's emotion. Without it they are back in Champaign tomorrow.

Survive and advance?

That was more like flat line on the operating table 3 times....shocked back......lapse into a coma.....then come out of said coma to the sound of screeching CoHawk.

I agree. I thought it was weird, but it never looked like he actually ever "fouled".

No, a win AIN'T a win. This was pathetic. It's March, and this team has real talent, size and ability that scares everybody else in college basketball. Our team - staff and players -- gotta put it together, now. But you're right in that this win does allow another day.

Talent yes...but deficiencies,too. Curbelo the only guy who can penetrate the lane and put pressure on a defense. If you watch these other games...multiple players attacking the rim. Otherwise it's a 3 point shooting contest...and when they're not falling it's gonna be ugly. We do work our tails off on defense, though.

I will now refer to Coleman simply as CFH.

Trailed until my wife got home.
What a 2nd half.
Hawkins!

She reminded me that she drove 3 hours in a rainstorm without taking a potty break to secure the win.

Devotion.
Dedication.
Domination.

please tell me that was a crappy feed ....................i hope i didn't go one gummy bear over the line sweet Ancients..................

ginabackes00 · Mar 18, 2022

I don’t get the Williams hate. He made some big defensive plays In the second half. Curbelo and Hawkins are peaking at the perfect time. Let’s hope we get our super seniors back on track. i have no idea how Kofi keeps his cool. It‘s mind blowing how much he’s hacked and held.

OrangeNBrood · Mar 18, 2022

Look at Monte 'Onte lookin towards De Sousa like "Where you goin with yo emotionally unstable ***, youngin?"

FortWayneFan · Mar 18, 2022

Damonte stinks, Trent stinks, Plummer stinks, Coleman stinks, Curbelo stinks, Underwood can’t coach... I hear you... and all I can say is...... WE WON!!!!! Me thinks that’s all that matters. Congrats fellow Illini!

BlindLoyalty · Mar 18, 2022

Brad Underwood has never advanced beyond the 1st weekend. IMO, if this veteran Illini roster doesn’t play to seed and advance, this season will be viewed as a great disappointment. Great opportunity on Sunday. Go Illini.

Agreed...but I would like to see a replay with sound. I'm thinking the whistle blew before that and that's why the puzzled look from the Chattanooga player

Thaillini22 · Mar 18, 2022

Mocs 13 pts in last, what, 17 minutes? Defense wins championships

Statistically, he's one of the best in the country at making adjustments.

Yes...last 5 seconds ..

"Hawkins block....Hawkins rebound!"

KingWolf11 · Mar 18, 2022

Keeping a small rotation of guys who just haven't been hitting shots seems like a weird strategy to me.

'16caine · Mar 18, 2022

Please let’s start curbelo. Love Trent but he’s gassed and his eye looks jacked up

ginabackes00 · Mar 18, 2022

I love brining Curbelo off the bench. He brings a different dimension to the second unit.
