"The Hoosiers then settled into a 2-2-1 full-court press that slowed MSU’s guards, and the Spartans went without a fastbreak point for the rest of the first half and for the first 9:35 of the second.
In doing so, Indiana would drop into a 2-3 zone in the halfcourt. The Hoosiers dared MSU to shoot from outside, something Izzo’s team has poorly all season.

Good to know we'll be doing none of that tonight.

Consecutive thunderous dunks for Morez!
-
Jake is feeling it.
-
Value the basketball, boys.
-
Jaxon Kohler well on his way to a career day vs us. Shocking, right?
-
No.
He averages 7.5.
-
What a game
-
We're in the bonus. Makes sense to keep chucking threes.
7/27 from deep. Fucking disgusting.
-
Great effort overall. Shot selection has been dreary since like the 8 minute mark of the 1st half.
-
Hit yoru free shots
-
Well fuckin hell we pissed ourselves with a slight assist from the refs.
-
Hopefully won't choke like this in The Only Tournament That Matters.
Duke is going to push our shit in like a Carholic priest does an alter boy
-
Ball game. Disgraceful. And with TSJ in the house.
-
Shots went cold at the worst time
-
1-12 from 3 this half.
-
Golden Era? More like Golden Shower.
-
Kohler driving another dagger in our hearts for good measure
-
1-12 from 3 this half.
Most weren't bad shot selection they just didnt' fall
-
Underachiever underachieving. As usual.
-
Well, at least there was no 30-0 run....Underachiever fucking sucks cock
-
Duke going to push Illinois shit in like a catholic priest on an alter boy
-
We missed our final 19 shots. Went the last 8 minutes without scoring a single POINT. Bruce Weber would be proud.
-
Bubble team
-
Didn't score a single point in the last 8:29. how is that even possible? !!!!!!
-
Well, at least there was no 30-0 run....Underachiever fucking sucks cock
Loyalty insiders suggest that Brad would at least entertain the idea of accepting the UNC job. After tonight's performance, I might offer to help pack his bags.

Oh well. It was nice reading.

UNC isn't going to even contemplate Underachiever. Hilarious.

Oh yeah for sure they have their sights set much higher.

I would hope so

UNC, the school that hasn't hired outside the Dean Smith alumni coaching tree in 60-some years? For Brad? LOL.
Reminds me of when Kentucky was going to look at hiring Bruce.
-
Line to -7 now. Wow. Call me shocked.
Hope y'all bet against us today

Oh and we had a goaltending call reversed taking away 2 points. So we in fact scored -2 points in the last 8 minutes.

Golden Age of Illinois basketball
-
That had to be one of the worst home losses in memory.
Really odd in game non adjustments or execution or both.
This team can rarely shoot the three well.
Continuing to do so at this rate in a game when it is not working is just idiotic.
Now shooting 26% from three in last 13 games (100/372).
31% overall and 309th in nation.

Fuck

Indication of the of the ILLINI efforts in the past month and especially yesterday...

Illini 2 wins 6 losses against top 15 teams the last 4 year in champaign

"The game is decided at the front of the rim."
Underwood, Feb 15, 2025
Out of 63 shots, 7-33 from 3 for 21%.
We got in the bonus with 12 minutes remaining and went the last 12 minutes with 1 free shot attempt. And missed.

You can add making sure banners, retired numbers, etc. are right side up when raised to the rafters to your AD List of Things to Change...

Deport Jakucionis!
-
"I thought the last 10 minutes were the difference"?
"They fell in love with the 3 and the easy shots, and I wished I knew why"?
WTF, C'mon coach, yell at them and tell em the next 3 that goes up without approval you go to the bench the rest of the game....betcha you will "know" why they quit taking them then...gotta be so much better at that paygrade!!

So what did Tre White do wrong?

I'm not sure that's it. Underwood said he was 'almost ready to go' vs UCLA.
Friday, ......
"We're going to try to win," Underwood said. "I'm going to put the best guys out there that fit. I've had some conversations with Tre. He's back healthy, which is good. But we're at the point of the year, we're going to put guys out there that play well together and help us win. Whatever goes beyond that, you guys can make up and create and write about if you want to, but we're going to try to win."

It would be baffling to me if Tre White were a healthy scratch. If he's in the doghouse and DGL is only getting 3 minutes in a game where Will Riley had 4 fouls, Boswell sucked, and we got pantsed the last 5 minutes of the game in part b/c we have no depth, Underwood needs to have his head examined.

I think he needs to have it examined for other reasons, but also this one. The post game presser was a joke, rotations were a joke. I’ve seen enough of Humrichous to last me a lifetime. 31 mins, 6 points, 0-7 from 3.

That ought to send a message.

The Underwood presser: 'I don't know why they kept bouncing 3's off the rim. . I was hoping somebody would call a play and get back to some fundamentals. But nobody would do it.'

Maybe his kid should have called a play from the bench.

That's not quite what I was leading to. But you did get the 'call a play from the bench' part right.

We know, and his comment confirmed it, that Underachiever will not be the one calling a play....

So what did Tre White do wrong?
He had enough of Brad's "chuck 500 threes a game and pray for offensive rebounds" philosophy.

It's ok. Brad blamed himself for DGL's minutes and said he'll have a conversation with him. Instead of, you know, just giving him the minutes he deserved already.

Yep. Just like all of your alts.

We may have a winner here.

And he's 6-9 and the second worst rebounder in our rotation behind DGL. Head-scratching stuff.

He is by far our worst defender. Teams target him.
This team is now rivaling the Matthew Mayer team with the staff clownshow chaos except they have much more talent.
They look like an uncoached AAU summer team.

At least Humrichous isn't going to get put on the DL from caffeine intoxication related to video games.
