It was a thing everybody cared about until we finally won one and the goalposts moved, then it was suddenly worthy of mockery to be happy that we won our league and hung a banner.  Just ignore the success in the larger sample size and exclusively judge a coach based on a single elimination tournament - just makes perfect sense.  If you're a moron like Truth, that is.  Which at this point it seems like you kind of are.

The notion that winning your conference doesn't matter is beyond idiotic.  Why even watch the games before the tournament then?  Maybe you don't, that'd actually make a whole lot of sense.

You guys deserve Truth to win his bet with me.  He's exactly the type of poster that thrives here.  That isn't a compliment.

Baghdad Bob,

Nobody deserves you.  Go white knight for some offended Catholic faggots.  I see that’s your cause on the Scout board,

Anyone claiming Illinois would have lost more games in 2021-22 by playing Podz more minutes instead of Goode/Melendez/Williams is fucking retarded

You seem to have lost all abilities other than How To Be The New Truth

That’s what you’ve turned into.  Your posts are the same quality and logical consistency as the guy who got thrown out of UI for being a stalker and has spent his entire life since rooting for them to be bad on the Internet.  Mr. Wrong About Everything.

I have a Finance degree from U of I.  I posted it on the old board. Kind of like how 97 posted his Ferrari.  Success people do in fact post on this board.

With fans like you, Illinois deserves failure.

Fans like you are the reason Lovie Smith was hired. 

Fans like you are the reason John Groce was given 5 years to fail, and Ron Turner to go 1-11 and 3-8 before finally being fired.

Fans like you are the reason the Chief was retired and the War Chant ended.

Fans like you are the reason there’s no enthusiasm for Illinois sports. You are fine being a liberal politically correct loser program.  I’m not. And since I’m an alum of the school, I’m gonna shout down all the losers that have hi-jacked what used to be a good school to go to with good sports and an all around good time.

Enjoy shouting it down for a few more days until there are literally zero boards you're allowed to post on.

Do you consider 20-21 a successful season since we "split" the big ten title, won the conference tourney but got our asses handed to us by Loyola in 2nd rd

Yes. Should we be happy with it if it’s the best we ever do? No. But a B1G title and a 1 seed will always be a successful season here. Even if it did end in terribly disappointing fashion.

Winning a conference title and being a 1 seed are “low expectations?”

I’ve said many times I’d “settle” for a Bill Self  level of “failure.”

Did ‘21 end incredibly bitterly? Yes, yes it did. Was it still a great year overall? Yes, Yes it was.

Being happy with it when you lose to fucking Loyola is.

Losses happen. Somebody has to lose, but at least make it look like you've come to play.

“Coach Underwood made it known that I was not good enough to play,” Podziemski said. “I didn’t want to risk being 20 (years old) and not playing. I wanted to go somewhere where I had the opportunity.”

This is not a good look for Podz. It shows his mental immaturity. Clearly, if he struggles at the next level; it will be everyone's fault but his.

No way BU told him he was not good enough. Read between the lines. He wanted guaranteed tick, and BU could not offer that with who was returning plus coming in.

He could have been honest and said he was looking for guaranteed playing time. Or with all the competition at UI, he wasn't sure he could earn playing time.

Or maybe revert to the standard bs and thank BU and UI blah, blah, blah ...

True.

I forgot. Was Loyola way underseeded  based on metrics?

Was that a morning game?

Did the team collectively look like they were half awake?

Everyone was bitterly disappointed with the Loyola game; but that doesn’t make the season a failure. I’d say more of a missed opportunity, which matches about every other season we’ve ever had.

Pretty crazy that we’ve never had that surprise Final Four/Elite 8 run. Hell, I can’t even think of a surprise S16 off the top of my head.
