Northwestern 70, Illinois 66 OT Postgame

FoundersClub · Dec 6, 2024

That’s a bad loss to a team who may not win 5 B1G games this year.

We are talented…but we are young.

Suspect this won’t be our last ‘bad’ loss this year.

Why northwestern. Why

I’m not being dramatic when I say brads decisions tonight had honestly made me consider not watching Illini basketball for a few weeks lol

FloridaMan · Dec 6, 2024

This guy still in charge of D? Curious lineups and shot selection to say the least in this one. Wasted opportunity.

BBlock24 · Dec 6, 2024

Completely avoidable loss.

2nd year in a row… does that mean we’re going to the Elite 8?

Going to need an explanation why Ben played 39 minutes tonight when Morez continues to be one of the best players on the floor when he’s out there

CV Illini · Dec 6, 2024

Ben”ch” is where he should have been if he’s not hitting 3’s

Embarrassing

NashvILLe05 · Dec 6, 2024

Boswell’s missed layup would’ve won us the game. Pathetic. So many TO’s and missed layups. You won’t beat marginal teams like that let alone tournament teams.

ChiTown · Dec 6, 2024

I am just speechless.

Thaillini22 · Dec 6, 2024

I seriously think brad was stress testing things tonight, viewed this game as a road loss and therefore not critical to tourney seeding? It's a stretch i know, but there must be some method to the madness here... Morez starting next game? Wtf though.

Indy Illini Fan · Dec 6, 2024

Absolutely pathetic … No execution … No adjustments … Bad coaching tonight …

And I’m sick and tired of seeing Ben take bad shots and get absolutely abused on defense …

meet bench …

As a huge Brad defender he cost us this game

SescIllini · Dec 6, 2024

Not sure why Morez sat why they were going booty ball. Best stretch was with
Tomi/Morez

Champaign88 · Dec 6, 2024

Should have had more Morez less Ben when his name was Humbrickhouse tonight.

Battle89 · Dec 6, 2024

I’ve said before, what I know about basketball strategy and coaching ain’t much. But to my layman eyes we sure did not make many adjustments. On either end.

Scoregasm · Dec 6, 2024

Ben 'guarding' Martinelli cost us the game. I don't understand that decision at all.

GrayGhost77 · Dec 6, 2024

Way to go, Brad. Not sure what point you were trying to make exactly but it cost us the game.

Nuke Dukem · Dec 6, 2024

Does anyone think BU watches the tape and sees what was obvious to most of us? More Morez less Ben.

ChiTown · Dec 6, 2024

This border on coaching malpractice.

JSpence · Dec 6, 2024

Overtime loss in Evanston with one arm tied behind their back.

Not a season killer, but, um, why just give away wins? Getting swallowed by the mediocre middle of the B10 pack will be harmful to recruiting... and retention.

Underwood has got to stop talking to Eberflus. Sh*t the bed, no excuses.

NASchamp · Dec 6, 2024

We were just too sloppy with the ball. Defense has to step up more.

There was a really bad sequence that lost us the game with a minute or two left. We were running clock and the quick 3 by Will Riley then the smoked layup by Kylan just killed us.
