Some people will never be happy.
I understand and appreciate that most Illinois fans don't want to say anything negative about the team, and especially about the coaching staff. However, it's hard to avoid the fact that we played terrible in the UConn game, and that BU's game plan and in-game adjustments were suspect to say the least.
To put things into perspective, Northwestern, down two starters (including their 7' center, who is their second best player and the only big they had who may have had a chance to slow down Clingan), lost to UConn by 17 pts and never allowed UConn to get on a double-digit run (let alone a 30-0 run). There's no reason that we should've lost in the embarrassing way we did, and it was embarrassing. People actually cheered in the bar where I was watching when Herman scored to end that 30-0 run. I fully expected us to lose, but I thought we'd at least manage to lose by single-digits, and never expected us to be UConn easiest win this postseason.
