Apparently UW got $100k bonus and an extension through 29/30 season for winning the BTT.

5.3 MM$.

He really should get to second weekend.
Will be his 8th shot at it.

Underwood cleaned up in free agency the portal and eventually figured out how to integrate those pieces into his system. He had to weather the storm bought about by the his star player being arrested and charged with rape, then had to effectively reset once he was reinstated.

The tourney struggles are well documented, and that's a knock against him for sure, but he does have the program in a place where the conversations throughout the season are about tournament seeding rather than if we even have a good enough record to qualify for one of those joke consolation tournaments.

I hope he does get us there, but either way we are still further along since 2006 forward.

Glad he got the extension as well. I think this staff deserves a ton of credit as well. Please keep Frazier, most importantly in imo.

Pretty much. We've been on the wrong side of catching a good draw a lot of years, or having a crappy game.
Only the Flyin Illini were able to beat the crappy draw, then had an average game and lost by 2 to another monster team

Let the record show that Murph and I agree on something

"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're better than Iowa State but then I'll likely pick Illinois in the finals in all my brackets.

We can laugh at him tonight but he does have a natty. Our guy is still trying to reach the 2nd weekend.

Second top ten finish in 4 years and 4th top 25 finish in last 5 years. Elite 8 appearance to get the second weekend monkey off his back. Thanks Brad, it’s fun to be back.

We became a team that was enjoyable to watch. Last year the announcers were complaining about our shot selection or whatever.
This year they too enjoyed watching us, up until the ......

Don't want to disappoint, so here goes... I can think of 30 things to complain about.
