Now that the facade of winning the big ten is over you just have to hope that these losses are going to amount to something just in the ball park of decent defense
I think BU is a really good coach but I refuse to entertain the idea that he has what it takes to get us back to the Self era level. Been great in conference but awful in March. Hope he gets to sweet 16 and proves me wrong.

1. I am actually an Underwood skeptic who got a ban here after a Tournament rant.
2. Guess my baseball team winning a World Series (in a season where got annihilated in an August series against their blood rivals) has soften my panicking about a late season stretch
That's Chet's shot at the players and he's right.
Right. You're never out of the game when you play these Illini. And that's a dangerous attitude for our opponents to have.
: eye roll :
Hawkins needs to stop whining and play the game. If I was on the court and one of my teammates stopped playing to show the ref a scratch on their arm giving up a 5 on 4 easy transition, I would be up there a$$. Coaches haven’t done anything about in 4 years so why would the kid ever change. Hawkins thinks he’s Lebron out there.
Brad was asked how things get changed and he said playing time. That's not a serious teams problem going into the last week of February.
Try and figure out a new rotation heading into March here we are again.

Tonight I was more thinking if we could just inbounds, take care of the rock, and hit free throws, then we don't need to tighten up the D for the last possesion.
Quite mind boggling finish for such an "experienced" team. Every day guys need to compete for 40 minutes, not 36 minutes, which has become an unfortunate trend the last few weeks.

So, is this Hamer guy really in charge of our defense? If so, he should be fired immediately.
Real question, is Brad actually a good coach or just a good recruiter? I'm thinking it's possibly the later...

Ok girlfriend
I can imagine. Missing 2 FTs and fouling a 3 pt shooter was just the culmination. His head wasn’t in the game from the start. Easily his worst game.
I guess that tells us how important Coleman is to this team. TJ with a career high. Double them up on rebounds. But Coleman has his worst game? We still lose.
I didn't blame the refs. Maybe I should have said pivotal play instead of play of the game. Fact is he was fouled and it wasn't called, happens all the time. That doesn't make it any less important.
He should be yelling at his self also. Alot of this defense and melting down late in the game is on him.

I feel like I’m way too nervous for us to have the ball late while we’re winning. Inbounding, hitting FTs, just DRIBBLING has me so nervous.

Heard this on the other 6 losses
Yep, easily Coleman's worst game of the year IMO
Hit a couple 3's and got one block is all I can remember him doing well
Have to agree with this ... Freshman mistakes as a senior ... The difference in maturity between him and Domask is insane ...

LOL at Coleman missing 2 Free throws and then fouling the 3 point shooter. You couldn't possibly have a worse last 15 seconds.

Coleman, I love watching you play. I’ve defended you staunchly here.
But please, grow the f$&k up, man. Now. Tonight. You need to lead. You want the luxury of trolling the opposition? Then show up and beat them continually. Take their ball every night. And chill on the court. Bill Russell wouldn’t be on TikTok if he played for USF today. He’d be focused on winning the next game. You’re not serious and can’t be taken seriously.
And all of you need to defend relentlessly. You don’t, your season ends NLT March 22.
You’re better than this. Want it more than we do.
