I don’t see anybody taking that approach on here honestly. I was happy we got here and were a 1 seed, and totally feel the pain in your second paragraph. The team we lost to does appear to be a really good team. That doesn’t excuse it, but is a true statement. We shit the bed. It happens.

Again I think you and some others on here are taking our happiness and excitement throughout the season as somehow a “we fucking love Underwood” “he’s a God” “greatest coach of all-time” kind of mantra. Which frankly just isn’t true. Not one person has said that shit. Trust me, I’m pissed off and of course the staff and team need to be held accountable. Again I’ll ask what’re you wanting done since you keep beating this drum over and over. I’ll say there are a lot of good things to take from this season. Actually I don’t think many people would’ve predicted before the season we’d have done this well. Some of you act like the sky is falling and it’s so dramatic. We’re gonna reload and be back and I believe we’re on the right track. One major difference between Underwood and Weber appears to be recruiting. We’re on the uptick now. You could see with Weber that wasn’t the case imo.

I agree that the recruiting is on upswing. We have guys that appear to know how to play the game finally.

Yes, I am pissed.
We just completely blew a teed up golden opportunity to get to a FF. We would have had a 12 seed and an AAC team or 11 seed to beat.

I'd feel a lot better if Illini fans were less "Cub fan-like" and more pissed off like White Sox fans perpetually are. All this excuse making is all fucking bullshit. "Oh Rutgers lost to the Kenpom 10 team..." Fuck that crap..The goddamn Texas Jesus teams all upset higher rated fucking teams. Fucking Shaka is fucking hearing it and lucky he still has a job. Meanwhile we are reading how great Underachiever is because they went 20nwhatever and 11 in the BIG the last 2 years. Fuck that shit.

Oh I 100% agree. I’m extremely pissed as well. Seeing all the upsets in our region, it would’ve been a cakewalk to get to the Final Four. Our hardest game if we got by Loyola would’ve been MAYBE Houston. Cade Cunningham knocked out and West Virginia. It was basically handed to us on a silver platter and we shit the bed.

Nobody is taking exception to it. Had we LOST to Loyola in a decent game there would’ve been less complaining.

We flat got housed by Loyola and got outplayed and outcoached for 40 minutes. That game was over the minute it tipped off and that’s why everyone is ticked off.

Underwood is incapable of coaching at a high level. Not much of a recruiter apparently either.

—I haven’t seen anyone excuse Underwood for yesterday’s performance.

—Wisconsin is an historically old college basketball team. That was a huge benefit early this season with the reduced prep time due to Covid protocols. But they ended up being relatively worse than last season despite returning everyone because a bunch of other teams that weren’t ancient improved throughout the season.

—Transitive results (especially across many months) is iffy evidence at best. ‘Member how many Illini fans were convinced without a doubt that Illinois was better than UNC because UNC lost to Santa Clara in late 2004?

Loyola’s conditioning is unreal. They never looked tired at all. We looked like we were the team that just came off of a down to the wire contest instead of the team that got to rest it’s starters a bunch in the first round.

It’s not a “valid” excuse, as both teams had to deal with it; but the 11:10 start time set off alarm bells in my head from the get-go. Just felt yucky.

Underwood took a beating today on The Score. I’d say mostly deserved.

Me too. My thinking is early starts might favor underdogs and slower paced, more structured teams.

One of worst game coaching performances I have seen at this level. He is stubborn as fuck. Hopefully he will learn. He appears to have Antigua and the boys getting him more talent than he has ever coached in his life. He needs to up his game.

That sort of thing likely got under the skin of Weber and Groce. Lou did not care one iota.  I doubt Uberwood does either. Fickle media and fans come with this territory.

I’ve never had an analytical answer for it, but I have always loathed early starts for Illini basketball games. It would be interesting to see how Illinois has fared as a favorite in games starting before 1 pm central going back 25 years or so.
