I mean, they're not wrong. All of Brad's coaching flaws get exposed by March unless we're playing Duquesne

When a so-so team loses like this you can live with it. When a team that is supposedly the #1 offense in the country loses like this, it is deflating.
You had two guys to stop and couldnt do it. Smh

His guards, all of them, are awful defensively. Boyd and Blackwell had a ball.
At MINIMUM get a shot here.
A feisty mid major will take them out. Virtual lock.
2nd opportunity to show us you have practiced a play for a last second 3
Yeah. I hate to say it, but it's probably time to start giving Underwood some heat.
just a front running team. Go on a huge run to then stop doing what worked and blow it down the stretch. Get the Ivisic brothers out of here and get someone that actually plays big.

Anyone saying the refs lost this game for us is using that as an excuse for our lack of physical and especially mental toughness. The refs didn't cause us to miss a bunch of FT's down the stretch and us losing close games is a definite pattern this year. OTOH, they made winning plays making all their FT's down the stretch and hitting clutch shots and snagging clutch rebounds.
There is no way this team is is even a top 18-20 team this right now. Ohio state would have beaten us also today. In fact any team with good guards will prevail- we just can't stop any good ones. Theirs outplayed ours by a mile and their team beat us again and this time we are fully healthy and they are missing their starting center and 3rd best player on a neutral court. So disappointing!!!! So who has gotten better during the year- Wisconsin has and who hasn't- Illinois.

I’ve tried very hard not to “blame” Underwood, but at what point do we call this trend concerning, at the least? Giving up huge leads, having 1 or 2 guys beat you, our guys looking out of sorts when we get down, unable to start or finish strong… etc…
It is very odd

Talented team that lacks any semblance of a killer instinct.
BAD, BAD, BAD coaching
I get the people saying we are bad, but really that isn’t a normal basketball game. Like there’s nothing about that game that is how basketball should go. No flow, inconsistent fouls, unfair play.
