The colloquial term for a fanbase like the Terps used to be "couch-burners." They foul their own nests after big wins and big losses. And they're generally unpleasant.
Northwestern 96, Illinois 91 OT Postgame
The way I remember it Boo killed us when we switched. I was begging us not to switch when guarding Boo. The one time I remember Boo getting after Shannon, Shannon was looking for a screen that didn't come.
we haven't won a road game against a tournament team since Kofi and Trent were on the team, its a more than fair criticism
I mean, for a lot of that game we weren’t switching on pick and rolls (and should have been IMO). Coleman was in a deep drop and Boo hit a bunch of floaters and killed us.
This was one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen.
A major contributing factor as to why we lost.

agree lame - that leads to why doesn't Underwood use the use it or lose it timeout in the first half to set up a play.

Well , I finally nodded off @ 4 am this morning and woke up @ 8:15 am........took a much needed shower to wash away the stink from the game last night.....I don't know about anyone else , but last night's game had me lathered up from the opening tip off until the disappointing end...........................Got medded up big time , but couldn't shake the ending of regulation when Marcus' shot looked like it was going in but bounced off the rim , forcing overtime.....In the brief gap between regulation's end and before the OT tip I thought that who gets the first points would probably win out as the game had been a slugfest from the start......
I will give nu ZERO credit for winning the game....Not in my make up to credit a bunch of wussies that compliment.........
Ty Berry is the leader of the wuss-a-thon in Evanston....has been since he has been there.....I got a big kick out of him TRYING to show off his muscles at one point last night and not a hint of any muscle mass.....apparently his muscle mass is confined to his mouth and tongue.....then he runs away like a kid on a grammar school recess yard.....
I will be glad when buie leaves as he is tough , but he gets special treatment from the refs.....case closed.......I agree that the crowd chants and SIGNS they had were average at best and nowhere close to what the twerps have in store......I can guarantee that the fairyland fans started working on their plans as soon as TSJ received the TRO to play again.....
Oh well , you win some , you lose some........it's worth noting again as others have , that we missed NUMEROUS layups again , with some layups being tipped up again 3-4 times with zero points....I'm sure there had to be some fouls on some of those offensive rebound-a-thons but none called........color me not surprised....we did get some reffing breaks , no doubt.......
My thoughts now are , let's pound the sh*t out of the unlovable loosiers and regain our swagger.....we will still be a ranked team and a target for the remaining B$G games left on the schedule.........learn from this loss and move on.....it's really the only thing we can do..............it really really is ................................
this is how I felt after the game last night......it really really is....................
me today , ready to face the world again , as a PROUD FIGHTING ILLINI FANATIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....ROCK ON ILLINI NATION......
me too pru.......me too........................I really really am.....................

Think Ty still needs to work on finishing with his left hand,teams overplaying right hand forcing some tougher shots.In general it sure seems our opponents play with a loose rim and we have lid on basket.Hope our bounces occur in key March games.ILL

quad 1 record the last 2 years says a lot.
In Hummel’s defense, he said, almost under his breath, by rule it was a flagrant 1 and he understood why they called it. He almost yelled he didn’t like the rule.

Sure but we’ve also won some neutral site games against tournament teams which should hold weight

You clearly stated that BU cannot be trusted to win a big game by looking at Quad 1 record over last two seasons. Yes, that statistic stinks, but luckily the tourney is not played on the road. To be clear, beating a tourney team on the road is not an easy task, even for top ranked teams. In addition, over the last two years, the Illini have won three top 15 neutral court games, including one against then #2 ranked Texas at MSG. You are relying too heavily on Quad 1 record and the lack of beating a tournament team on the road over a relatively short sample size to say that Brad can't be trusted to win the big game. Even over the last two seasons, the Illini have some pretty big wins. Don't write off this team because they lost on the road to #17 Tennessee, #1 Purdue (without TSJ), and now Northwestern (yes, the MD loss at home is baffling though). I believe this team will get on a roll once TSJ gets the rust off.

I learned that Hummel sucks a long time ago.......he's a purdont alum.....nuff said.......
Yeah, that one I don't agree with Hummel on whatsoever. If this were the NBA back in the 90s, yeah, that'd be considered a hard foul. But this is college basketball in the 2020s. It's a really bad and clear-cut flagrant foul. Even if you argue he's making a play on the ball, which quite frankly is giving that foul way more benefit of the doubt that it deserves, he missed by multiple feet and hit a guy with an otherwise open dunk directly in the head, hard. Based on what the B10 has called flagrant fouls in recent years, I think the play is on the very far side of flagrant 1 if not a flagrant 2 outright. Plays like this are what the NCAA was trying to get out of the game because of how dangerous they are.
I'd personally have called this a flagrant 2. He can say he didn't intend to hit him, but you can't wildly swing in the vicinity of a player's head like that. Clear fragrant and one of the worst flagrants I've seen in B10 play in the past few years. Should've been straight ejected.
Hate it too because he played well otherwise and plays so hard. But boy was he being targeted on defense
I wish I had your eternal optimism lol

Maybe the Maryland fan had just watched Brad on the hot ones and thought he’d want a wing?
I mean, last year's team should just be thrown out from relevant data. That wasn't a regular Underwood squad.
I thought it was flagrant as well even before the replay. I don’t know about flagrant 2. It is hard to judge intent but maybe that is the major flaw with the rule - judging intent. Intent does not matter with targeting in football. Helmet to helmet is targeting. Period.
I forgot he did this! Thanks for posting.Maybe the Maryland fan had just watched Brad on the hot ones and thought he’d want a wing?
I don't believe that quad 1 stat was limited to road games.
I don't have anywhere near the athleticism to be dunking at my age, but if someone teed off on my face like that, there would've been a combo meal on the way.
