LKDog sometimes your posts get me nodding my head then all of a sudden:



You’ve made it very clear you don’t think highly of Underwood, but he is most definitely not on a short leash.

My kid’s first Illini game was the Winthrop debacle where we got beat by a one legged midget. Years of complete, laughable irrelevance.

A coach has to do a LOT of things really well to even get the chance to have a loss like the Illini had today.

After calling out the Chicago Cynics I suppose I was due for some “I told you so” but it still doesn’t take a Mensa to bet against Illinois athletics. I was telling people to soak it all up as it unfolded over the last few weeks because it could be over just like *that* and here we are.

While today really fucking sucked I’m glad I enjoyed those moments rather than worrying about what might go wrong and still being pissed today anyways.

The told you so part pertains to whether Underwood is "the guy.." Seemed like many here proclaimed he is (and wanted credit as well as mea culpas from others). I remain uncertain. More red flags went up today though. He has shown flexibility in some regards though,  which is good. Hopefully he learns from this.

I see a lot of guys giving Hulka a free pass for the game today.
Yeah, we had great run the last month. I give the staff and team credit for that.

Coaches earn their reps in tourney, however.

We just shit the bed in legendary fashion.

Yep

If we played well, and lost. So be it.
We didnt. That's the disappointing part.
Loyola came to play and played well. We better learn from this.

Agreed, Mn.

Lol, no. I’m way more creative than that dipshit.

I’ve never ran 2 alts at the same time. Not about to start now.

More creative than me?🤣🤣🤣

Yeah right son. I’ve just spit more Illini history in the last few hours than you have in your entire body with an added flavor of quality satire. Like the And1 folks would say. Get that weak - - - - out of here!!!

It's great we got in the position we were in. No question. Then the real season started. The one people remember.
This will be the team that will now be known as the 1 seed that didn't even make it out of first weekend.

My point is we get back into tourney next year or year after as say, a 9 seed. We get beat first game by an 8 and look like ass again doing it.
Still just happy to be there? Hell naw.

Bye eee  Coach Hulka.
That would be 1 tourney win in 5 or 6 years and two flame outs.

I don’t think it was wrong for anyone to get behind Underwood as our guy. This season, despite today, was an overwhelming success. When is the last time an Illinois coach both assembled and coached a team that finished at the top of the B1G? To a 1 seed? To winning a BTT?

The tourney is a brutal beast. Any good coach will tell you that the key is to get there every year just to put yourself in a position to get on a run. Self, K, Cal, Roy, Izzo et al have all had teams of this caliber bounced by worse teams than Loyola. (#17 AP)

Look at Tony Bennett for crying out loud. In his last three appearances he had the number one overall seed and bounced by a 16 for the first time in tourney history, then came back and won the title the next year, then got bounced as a 4 seed this year.

I think a lot of the consternation about this is that there’s a feeling Illini won’t ever have this kind of shot again for a very long time because Ayo and Kofi are probably gone. That feeling was valid under Weber when he couldn’t recruit anyone but this time we still have the architects.

Belo and Miller came in ranked very similarly to Kofi and Ayo. They logged huge minutes this year on a damned good team. There’s no reason we can’t plug in pieces around those guys and see similar development to what we saw from Ayo and Kofi.

Ayo had huge usage his freshman year on a bad team. Curbelo’s stats down the stretch this year were similar to Ayo’s freshman campaign...while playing on a great team with two All Americans. I fully believe Adam Miller will evolve into a Davion Mitchell type player by his junior year.

Rounding out this class with high quality players and transfers should continue momentum. I’ll be fairly concerned if it’s a bunch of nobodies.

Jesus Christ. So Everytime we have a tourney game of this nature we’re going to bring up UMBC.

We just got housed from start to finish from a barely top 25 team. I can tell you what happened. Moser outcoached and outclassed our 3.5 million a year hot mess.

Lmfao. Rough crowd tonight. I’ll bet a $100 if Ayo was still hurt and not playing, we’d still be playing next weekend.
