This is where my head is, but there's no way Brad is going to cop to that publicly.

The fact we turned the ball over that many times and had such a huge disparity at the FT line to lose by only 1 is simultaneously encouraging and demoralizing
He’s a very talented young man….but at some point that’s on the coach to chew his _____ to take better care of the ball. That was unbelievable
It was also a foul

Good grief, some of you guys are ready to just cut Curbelo completely after one bad game. The kid is a sophomore who was handed the keys to a top 10 team after Ayo went pro. Clearly it got in his head a little bit and he tried too hard to put the team on his back instead of just doing what he does. He'll learn.

BU can make a smart change anytime during a game...but dont see it much...it was almost like the false hope we had with Loyola.
You can love a player and still pull him if he's hurting team. This is all on BU IMO.
I'm not sure how you can think Underwood was the better coach tonight after watching him let Curbelo have the ball in his hands over and over in the last 8 minutes after watching what had happened all night. That Marquette team has no business beating Illinois.
I just watched the entire game.
Curbelo WAS the problem tonight.
Every time he drove, he was out of control. He jumped with no idea where he was going.
He had few assists. He had many turn overs.
He was in love with his own shot.
He was not the point guard we needed tonight.
Tough to win when your two “lottery picks” have 12 turnovers between them.
This ^^^^
We’ll be fine, rather we get this out the way early, A wake-up call for the team, staff and belo. Learn and adjust, with Kof & hutch back, we’ll be right where want to be come mid-season.
lets hope he had some kind of point. that was bad.
Eh maybe Underwood’s playing the long game. Curbelo’s gonna learn a lot more from how bad this feels than he would from Underwood pulling him for Trent.
Bad game from Curbelo. Ball handling is going to be a concern all season. Hopefully the fouling is not.
Curbelo will look like a different player when he has Kofi to dump it off to. Not worried about this game. A little humble pie will help Andre. He does need to mature and this game will help.
No one can argue that we didn't deserve to lose tonight. We did. If Kofi misses significant time, we might be screwed if we play like this without him.
Curbelo has to wear a lot of this. Far too casual with the ball and you can't have that against a constant in-your-face defense like Shaka's. Ayo isn't around to do all the dirty work anymore. He either needs to understand the value of ball security or get someone else in there who does. That's all there is to it.

It’s not heroics we miss with Ayo. It’s the maturity and control he had with the ball in his hands. Let’s hope Curbelo uses This game to understand the spectacular play isn’t needed every time down the floor. As a PG, your job is to control the game and get teammates the ball in their best scoring positions.
