What’s heartbreaking for me after tonight is that, hey … we might play great and win our First Round game! We might even catch lightning in a bottle and win our Second Round game!! However, I’m now just simply convinced it will run out … we’ll self correct eventually.
I've drawn up better plays while dropping a deuce in the marathon handicap stall with no lock on the door and 2 homeless people shooting up heroine and doing it in the stall next to me than Brad has ever drawn up during his time at champaign
I didn't watch, but the box score sure makes it seem like CH lost us the game in the last 0:18.
I like Domask. The team doesn’t have the record they have without Domask. But I’m not sure I would be comfortable with him playing 38/40 min of a game as our primary ball handler
The probability distribution from this team is right skewed, but has both a fat left & right tail. I think I’ve seen worse basketball before, and less talent on teams. What makes this so disappointing is that we’ve been on the edge of the fat right tail several times… only to slingshot immediately back to the left tail.
Think about how that affects fans emotionally, and also the players. This is why this one hurts this much. The folks saying they’re certain they will win the next game are correct in that probability, as the more hurt the players are the more they’ll learn from it.
I understand also that UConn didn’t have as bad of losses last year, but they lost 10 games. We make not seem like a second weekend team at the moment, but this will all pass. Recency bias moves both ways, yet we are who we are. 4/5 seed likely incoming IMO

Queue the Underwood “I should have played Ty more” in the postgame…
Correct. Because that would be ridiculous to say.

It means something more when you come into the game with control of their destiny for a conference title.

Stop trying to dissect it.
We gave up 90 points to a team that scored 49 on Sat.
We are bottom half B1G team defensively...and you simply aren't going to out-score your way to a B1G Championship. No way.
And for a program (and coach) that supposedly prides itself on being big on defense....so much so that you won't see any minutes if you don't measure up defensively...and being supposedly Every Day Guys.....it's absolutely unacceptable at this point in the season.

Don’t tell me how rough the waters are, boys, just bring in the ship.

harmon is a failure in bounding the ball.....this happened before this game and that 5 out of bounds play should be burned along with the blue uni's........\
as another poster said ......7 point lead with the ball and 40 seconds to go and 10 seconds on the shot clock........
cohawk makes his 2 FT's and game over......cohawk doesn't foul the 3 pt shooter and game over.......
problem is , he missed both FT's and psu's player hit all 3 of his.......
I have a serious migraine right now.....and a stomach ache.....and my arthritis is acting up..........
BU just said all credit to psu........BS....................
also said everybody has to do their job..............how about you BU ??
Ty and QG on the bench as we pissed down our leg and LOST..............unbelievable.....
TSJ with a career high 35 pts and 11 rebs......unbelievable.....
Worst loss in a long long time........

Hard to choose. If this was the only one we would just shrug.
Constant lack of late game execution. Painful to watch. Not sure how they can fix this in 2 weeks time.
Lol, coaching rises to the top in tourney time
This is the most puzzling god damn thing ever. Just why?!
Don’t care to hear Underwood’s reasoning or excuses, because there are ZERO. Be better.
I could see a 12/13th seed with nothing to lose, just pressure Illinois the whole game. They will fold. Just keep substituting guys in left and right and apply the pressure.

Disappointed that a talented senior laden team seems to lose their basketball IQ at the end of games and has no mental toughness to put away inferior teams.
