Fighting Illini Basketball Forum / interesting stat about Brad
« on: March 25, 2025, 04:41:50 PM »
He is 16-21 against top 25 opponents while Illinois is also in top 25 (including big ten teams)
6-14 against TOP 25 non conference opponents while at Illinois
0-3 at home against non conf top 25 teams
top 25 vs top 25 he is 5-8 against top 25 in NON CONFERENCE
Thought this was a interesting stats as lately it feels he stuggles against top 25 non conference competition

Weber famously called Legion "Kobe" -- in reference to, obviously, Kobe Bryant -- based on Legion's performance in practice.

Has Underwood gotten better as a coach since he started here?

« on: March 24, 2025, 06:43:14 AM »I don't know that I can beat up Brad too much for what happened today. There isn't an adjustment out there you can make for constantly giving away possessions with very cavalier ball security. And yes, I'm looking at you, KJ. Good luck trying to be a Harlem Globetrotter in the NBA.
Changes definitely have to be made in staff/philosophy, however. Brad needs to surround himself some solid x's and o's guys on both sides of the ball so he can focus on being the CEO of the operation.
Defense: No more drop coverage. Someone tell Brad, Hamer or whoever was running the defense that sitting back and allowing one guy to pick his spot over and over again is not a winning defensive strategy. A wide open midrange jumper is not a "tough two." Even 93 year old Loren Tate could knock that down with ease.
Offense: How about some more ball movement, cutting to the basket and driving to the hoop instead of trying to hold your own 3 point contest every game? Two point shots are still very much a thing, Brad.
quit with the analytic basketball
