I’m here to give Underwood credit and say I was mostly wrong (sort of) about whether he would turn around the program. He’s far exceeded his first contract expectations. I do think he’s been incredibly lucky. I’m not sure he’s a Final Four favorite if not for Covid.

There were some unforeseen things that worked out to his advantage. Ayo staying 3 years, Kofi essentially emerging as the best true big our program has ever had (anyone who said they saw that coming was just being an optimistic homer). Curbelo is something else. Did Antigua deliver bother Kofi and Curbelo? If so, give him the co-MVC

Regardless of how we got here, Underwood has far exceeded my expectations to this point and for that he deserves my (mostly) mea culpa. This team has grown before our very eyes and has been a joy to watch. Not sure anyone can beat Gonzaga, but I sure hope they get a chance.

I’m also pleased there’s been no embarrassing PR lately. And having said all of the above, I’d still rather have Shaka Smart. Even if it has taken him a while to find real success at Texas.

If that’s not a Tempo style Pat on the back to Underwood, what is?!
Good job Coach U.

Looks like you were more right than wrong. You were AOTC before you got behind the curve.

Underwood at.least has shown he is adaptable to his talent. Which is pleasantly surprising and obviously a good sign as to his coaching abilities.

A concern I have had lately is how they seem to be able to get the ball to Kofi in the 1st half of games, then the opponent makes.asjustments to deny him the ball in the 2d half, and there is no adjustment on the Illini's part to be able to get the ball inside consistently.

Flame away, ECI UFFs!

Great 2d half adjustments, Underachiever!!!!

I think he is below average X and Os guy. Has gotten the team last year and this year to buy into toughness/defense in second half of both years.
I give him credit for that. We looked like soft weakass defensive shit not more than a month ago.

Obviously Ayo and Kofi playing way better now than they were in first half of year.
Ayo discovered a crossover and started playing D.
Kofi got dunked on by Davis at Indiana and it lit a fire.
Curbelo got through his crazyman out of control phase.

We are really good right now.

Uh, no Illinois is not good right now.

I was AOTC on Underwood

certainly hit some bumps in the road over the last few years but glad to see the results blow waaaay past my expectations

Post did not age well.

True, the curve keeps moving. But I’m right there with it. I’ve been ahead of it, and had my head snapped by it.

Upon further review, yeah, eff it...I’d still take Shaka.

I think Kofi gets a little tired in 2H from battling double, triple (and in one case yesterday, a quadruple team) and then has trouble getting position. A lot of our turnovers come from trying to force it into the post.

The bright side is that he (and Ayo) require so much attention from the other team that it leaves openings for guys like Curbelo, Williams, Grandison, etc to step up. And they most certainly have. Those three games without Ayo ended up being incredibly important to the continued development of this team.

Didn't look like it when it really counted.

I'm glad my year 2 concerns about Underwood didn't pan out.

Might want to reconsider this and the Krutwig take.

I believe the program will be just fine in his hands post Ayo/Kofi

May be time to reconsider this take.

Even after watching that game last night?

Or did you watch it?

Today sucked, for sure. But I’ll go ahead and keep Brad and not pine for a coach that lost to Abilene Christian.

Have a good day. I’m gonna go enjoy the nice weather.

It looked like Brad spent yesterday at the fucking Buffalo Wild Wings watching basketball.
