I was ok with losing this game if it was competitive. I mentally prepared myself for that. But in true Illinois fashion, they took that away from me and still managed to piss me off.

Yep. And every text chain I'm on is just people roasting Underwood and that 30-0 run....

No question the in game adjustments to gameplan were questionable and lacking. Staff and team looked indecisive and tentative when the run happened.
On the other hand staff had excellent prep for ISU and won a game that easily could have went the other way, and they won first two games which is actually never easy no matter who you play.

I give staff a solid B for the tourney and an A- for the season with the development of the team to a higher level in February and March.
Hopefully this will draw continued success in portal and HS recruiting and enhanced roster construction.

Shannon 0-1 from 3.
Maybe we weren't going to beat them, but we got away from what we've been doing.
And played like it.

That guy is money from 3 and shot ONCE from three.

So many times I was like "ooh great pass to set up a layup FUCK that guy is too big". It was like they had muscle memory of beating 6'8 guys and could not shake it despite getting blocked OVER and OVER and OVER.

Guerrier passed up a bunch of open threes then finally took a contested one. I think Underwood must have yelled at him so then he overreacted.

Honestly I was more depressed about the Rose Bowl vs USC because I had a few more moments to be hopeful, Mendenhall ripped off a TD at the start of the 2nd half. Not scoring for what seemed like half of the 2nd half - holy shit.

Well, I will say I am not sure I have ever seen a 30-0 run. It was crazy.

30-0 is just another example of someone having a 'career' once in a lifetime game against us. Usually it is an individual in this case it was the defending National Champions.

A fan can push blame to players, a coach, etc and usually does. In this case however, it simply was the NCAA repeating buzz saw that not only we ran into but many others have and will for some time.

The blue bloods themselves are not quite all blue bloods anymore, there is one king out there now....UCONN owns that designation.

Hopefully this will draw continued success in portal and HS recruiting and enhanced roster construction.

We could have had Wooden, Knight, Krzyzweksi on our bench and wouldn’t have won the game. Can’t win the game when you are bricking layups. They got into our heads and then we could never get out of ours. Could have been a closer game, but if we had a single player on his game, I missed it.

He had the time to do that? I saw a tweet from him last night thanking Illini Nation a couple hours after the game.

Wonder why they were bricking layups... Hmmmmm

Apparently, the coaching staff didn't watch tape of the UConn vs Northwestern game.

What an astoundingly bad game plan yesterday.

I'm surprised they didn't turn it over 30 times against Iowa State.
