Who do you think should be DC instead? He's spent a lot of time in the industry working in the NBA, WNBA, and collegiate level. Has a lot more experience that our OC who is the coach's son

We are not better than this. This is the ceiling. We win 20 games every year and lose in second round of ncaa. It’s better than it has been but it is the “Underwood Ceiling.” It’s not bad. Feels better than the bubble or the 8-9 seed line. But it’s the “Underwood Ceiling.” This is Illinois.

Wonder if there’s group consensus among players + coaches that Hamer went and FUBAR’d the defensive strategy. Like.. “we’re all thinking it”
But still...2 missed layups when it counted.Domask is one of the last things I would put the blame on ... We put A LOT on him ... Every single game ...
Coleman spent all week talking... Then played like absolute
Where has Quincy been? That dude has fallen off the face of the earth ... Has absolutely disappeared for like the last month ...
And we all know about the defense ...
Domask and TJ were the only reason we didn't lose by 20 tonight ... We didn't have a single other guy get double figures ...

To play devil’s advocate here:
There was still 2 minutes left, he was 3-4 from 3 at that point and it was an open look. We go up by 11 if he makes it and the game is likely over.
After I gave Coleman his flowers after last game. Tonight just wasn’t his night.
Please play Ty the last 5 minutes of every game. Even if Brad says he’s not defending well, he terminates possessions with defensive rebounds.
We can’t guard an inbounds play involving a screen because we’ve never done it ourselves. Literally my junior high team ran better OOB.
TSJ was pretty damn good tonight.

Wow, what a collapse. Coleman was a one man wrecking crew there down the stretch. More concerning than this loss though, and it became evident during this game, we won’t win more than 1 game in the dance. Maybe not even one. Our defense is just too awful. Harmon, Domask and Goode are just not good defenders, and having all three on the court at the same time? No way.
Definitely valid ... Have to make layups ... Brad acknowledged it in the presser ...

For sure Nick Irvin could do much better!
And too stubborn
Pretty much every year we have scrapped the offense after the Mizzou game ... Last year we scrapped the whole offense and went spread after Christmas ...
I hate this is considered a coaching strength by some. It just means they wasted all of camp on the wrong scheme.
Actually over the last half of the season very rarely has anyone other than Domask brought the ball up and initiate the offense. Brad apparently doesn't even trust anyone else for that. Pretty much ends the Ty is our point gaurd debate.
True… but it was still situationally the wrong decision

He shouldn’t have to. Ty should be doing the magority of the ball handling. I know he had 4 fouls but he needed to be out there.
Bro Ghost ...
Like 18 turnovers, out scored 13 - 2 in crunch time ...not good.
100% this. It's a mission for us just to get the ball in bounds. And I'm not just talking about end of game situations but overall. It seems like every time we inbound it we're up against the timer and have to chuck it up beyond the 3 point line to Dain/Coleman just to narrowly avoid a 5 second call. I don't know that we scored on a set inbounds play all year.
With about 9 min left up 8ish points and 3 TOs left, Domask (I think) picked his dribble up 4 ft north of 3 point line… was in no man’s land and dead in the water… I’m screaming at Brad to call time out. He doesn’t. Ball gets stolen and they make a transition 3… I thought it was a self inflicted wound and a big momentum swing. All on Brad.
Letting Kern get layup after layup for 13 straight points is what got Penn State back in the game. But Goode shooting a 3 with 20 seconds left on the shot clock was a huge mistake and coaching failure for not running time off the clock. Giving PSU 20 more seconds turned a W into an L.
One thing I learned from watching this game … relax, … sit back, … listen to some Rick Astley, … and have a Dr. Pepper.
Can someone explain to me why anyone thought he would be a good hire and why are we allowimg him to coach so much??
