We’d have people calling for BU to be fired. Oh wait . . .

Well, if you are happy with this kind of play, the current W-L record (when the schedule will only get harder), playing WITH this much talent, then be happy with Underwood. When the top guys graduate and new recruits won't come because of what they see from Underwood, you may not be so happy with him. Maybe I'm wrong about the talent and the PLAYERS are the problem. I just don't think so. Poor pre-game preparation, no in-game adjustments, no offense...well, this is where the Illini are. And those are on BU and the coaching staff. All the pre-season talk about Big Ten Title and Final Four...just talk. Now ranked #24 and that's a big fall from all the earlier hype.

I agree. We are being outcoached. Our opponents have a strategy to stop our strengths, and they figure how to beat our defense because we run the same defense always.
