Is Josh Whitman satisfied with 1 second weekend trip since he’s been AD at Illinois?
I believe this, I have no interest in listening to Sean Miller’s biggest cheerleader. I fully expect Tre White, Booth, KJ, Riley, and Rodgers to all be gone. None of those would be a surprise imo. Morez, Ivisic, Davis, and maybe Boswell all staying would make sense
We look like a team that hasn’t practiced together much the last month. Feel like a lot of KJs turnovers tonight were on miscommunications.
Also, not sure anyone is winning in Madison with Tonje playing like that. Step back 3 after step back 3.
Hopefully get healthy and see if we can go on a run in March.

Slowly? Seems to be happening rapidly. However UK got Cal out of that lifetime contract seems a good playbook for JW.....from my lips to God's...
LOL ... I say the line is 2.5 returners and you give 3 guys that are for sure back ??

I came down with the flu around 2/7. Tried toughing it out/stayed active over that weekend. Got worse and was curled up in a ball for 48-72 hours that week. Started to turn a bit of a corner around Valentine's Day/day after. Was still fatigued and weak. Had my first true good work out today. To compete in practices and high level basketball games with this sh*t is truly unimaginable. Do Brad, the staff and players need to be better about a variety of things? 100%. But I will go to bat for Brad on this one.
I dont get the boswell love. he shoots 20% from 3 and its lucky if he makes a layup
Sounds about right... At this point I just hope Morez is one of them, because if not, what a sad absolute waste of what should have been a top priority core piece. And that falls directly on Brad.
From the game thread:
"My job is developing leaders and building culture in large organizations. I have used, in the past, BU as an example. I take it back. I've been a HUGE supporter of BU, but I just jumped off the bandwagon. I could latch back on, but is it too little, too late?
So much talent, with little results. Methinks BU is a good CEO, but has not put good peeps around him this year. So frustrated. Top draft prospect that fails most games...that is coaching. Good players roding the pine...that is coaching. I'm done."

Then Brad needs to be a grown-a** adult and tell him to stay home! What good is it letting him trot out there at 25% while infecting the rest of the team? Same for DGL playing with flu earlier. What in the Sam Hill are they even doing?
Then Greg Gard is more intelligent than Brad Underwood.
I mean, look... if we had sat 2 or 3 players back in January when they first got the flu and told them to stay home, we would have been at full strength again in a week and a half or so. Maybe we lose a game or 3 in the process, but we have now dropped a lot more winnable games than that.

Was the person who hung TJ's banner in charge of cleaning the locker room and facilities too? We've been doing the whole sick thing since December. Can the program not afford some Lysol and a rag?
Wisconsin is very good, and Illinois is very undermanned. Nothing much more to say.
But they are in proximity to other people, the public, they're on college campuses, that has been hit with the flu. The flu isn't exclusive to the Illini men's basketball team, but the Illini men's basketball team seems to be unique in their ability to not manage the situation.
Thank you for the insight. That makes a lot of sense based on what we saw today. It’s easy to forget how young these guys are too.
Wisconsin's season FT % is 83.7% (Highest all time has been 83.0%)
And we held them to 77.3% FT
So our FT defense was excellent!
I am clearly beyond depression and into some sick humor world...
Also, I have a mountain lion and her cub in and out of my back yard waiting to eat my dog, so that helps take the seriousness of this game down a notch.

Beautifully put my friend. I agree completely.
I read elsewhere that the Illinois plasyers left the court and did not shake hands due to the illnesses.
I've heard so many excuses for the mass exodus of players and coaches in our program.. especially players that could be valuable to this team.. and it's usually "well this is the new transfer world or NIL world"... But then I look at our football squad and our women's team and they sure as hell have figured out how to keep players and how to build culture.. They say family and I believe it- what kind of family has Brad built??? Serious question
