Appreciate the seniors who brought us back to national relevance. It’s been mostly a fun ride. Wish they could have gone out on a better note. KenPom doesn’t lie. Houston’s defense was outstanding. Hate to say it but Sampson is an outstanding coach.

National relevance just because made the tournament 2 years in a row?

We're not a good team. Houston kicked our ass and highlighted everything that's wrong with this team and coach. See ya

We were pretty inconsistent all year, sucks we played our worst ball in march

I wouldn't say national relevance other than being a top 25 team but we are no longer a dumpster fire so we have that going for us.... I think you are forgetting how bad we have been since Dee Brown graduated 16 years ago

I don't Melendez leaving for basketball reasons.

Curbelo I see leaving and I'm not heartbroken because the guy developed less than any freshman-soph in memory.

I am well aware of the incompetence in Champaign over the past 16 years, but it is still continuing.

Most of the people who follow college basketball have spent most of the last two years talking about Illinois being a national title contender squad. Being a 1 seed and a 4 seed and probably a 5 seed in 20 if the tournament wasn’t cancelled. Two second place finishes and a first place finish and a BTT title. That’s national relevance by any definition.

Because nationally they are wondering how you can have 1st and 2d team All Americans and get pantsed by Porter Moser?

Nah we’ve got some good recruits coming in. I’d say we should still see the tourney next year.

We will need some transfers.
Next year starts today.

Again, the problem was not firing Bruce Weber, or Ron Zook, it is who was hired by the morons in Champaign to replace them.

Why would Melendez leave? He was becoming a rotation guy until he had the appendicitis surgery. He will be a starter next year.
Underwood loves him.


When I said he's a starter earlier, I meant he's a starter for the type of player we need more of. Some size and athleticism to go with what he does well. Put some muscle on him during the off season.

What's your point?

Over the last 3 seasons Underwood has done a very good job

He’s turned completely 100% into nothing but a troll. It’s almost as bad as Truth.
