Heard a college basketball “expert” (can’t recall who) say that Underwood might try to parachute to another job if he has a poor showing in the tourney. Of course, this was before they won the tournament before the only tournament that matters. Curious as to the general thought here. I have not real take.

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

We got a 3 seed and won the BTT. This sort of season puts us in the window where we get occasional 1 seeds and if the dice roll right we can make the final four. I'll take it. We aren't quite rolling at a Kansas/UNC/Kentucky level, but if you take a look at a lot of other name programs, Indiana, Michigan, UCLA...

Yeah, Underwood isn’t going anywhere regardless of if it’s a decision on himself or the university. He’s done fantastic here and for fans to think otherwise is delusional.

Underwood I believe, truly thinks ILLINOIS is his destination.

I do not think he will ever move unless forced out. I also think he has revitalized a program that many if not ALL of us were lamenting as a dumpster fire a mere few years ago. I also think Whitman loves the guy.

All things considered (especially with the coaching carousel) this year, we have got to keep this guy and the entire staff for that matter.

Cannot argue that we have had a level of consistent success.
He needs to take a team to the next level which is getting to the second weekend.
This is a good opportunity this year and we are playing well in last few games.

We have to do it now. We can not get outcoached and outplayed by an inferior team. Our guys have to want this. I really hope they do.

Brad has to earn his money here. Getting a 3 seed is great, but he has to do something in this tournament. Period.

We earned a very good seed, but we have a tough road to go deep.
BYU (#16 KenP0m) can be difficult if they are hitting. They shoot threes literally over half the time. Take 32 a game and have 7 guys scoring 9 ppg or more. Crazy shit.
I think we will only be favored by a couple in that one. The tempo is good for us though.
Iowa State is just a very very good team. More than a few people had them getting the last 1 seed.
We will be dogs in that one.
 
That said- Shannon is having an AA season and can now carry a team in crunch time if we just get him the ball in positions to make plays.
They seem to be simplifying things and just having our two best guys try and make plays down the stretch.
Our defense has picked up and Dainja is becoming a really nice contributor. 

We have a chance to get to EE and then just let it rip and see what happens.

I doubt Iowa State is happy with their draw either.   Red hot WSU or Drake.    Compared to BYU or Red hot Duquense.  And everybody from BYU is bitching about having Illinois in the 2nd rd and being dropped nearly 2 seed lines.

We’ve shown we can compete with about anyone. Or lose to teams we shouldn’t but that’s everyone. Get past the first two and the rest is gravy.

Nope. Sweet sixteen should be the baseline for this team, and this draw.

This. We are 12 on the S curve. We do not make S16 it is not shooting par.
We win one more then we have a serious fckign season and all credit to the team and staff for getting to another level in March.
We just won three games in a row in BTT against teams arguably playing like Top 20-30 teams.
We can do this.
