Title: what grade would you give Illinosi this year?
Post by: frankiew on April 05, 2022, 07:12:39 PM: I say C+

We were never as good as we expected to be

We were 6-5 our last 11 games and played like crap

B1G Championship is something that is hard to get and with all the adversity this season we still got one. It does mean something, regardless of what others here say. We disappointed in the tourneys, but if we won one more game in it, I think a lot of the crybabies would see it as a B as well. That was a good Houston team that beat Arizona after us. We were within striking distance and played like complete shit, so whatever. Solid B overall.

Given Kofi, and all the seniors, they underachieved in terms of reaching a high level of play.

Can’t give anything above a C+. I have standards

Didn't improve as season progressed, and despite what some of the the metrics say, the BT was again a mediocre league. It's a fcking tractor pull league and has been for years.
None were projected to make EE per KenPom and only 2/9 made it out of first weekend.
The league needs athletes.

Post by: Custard on April 05, 2022, 09:51:50 PM: Relative to preseason expectations: D+ maybe C-

Relative to what actually transpired with personnel and lack of cohesiveness and having to rewrite the scheme and having normally reliable guys with little in the tank come March: A-

The results of regular season conference play is an accomplishment, but pre-season and post-season is not so much so.
Kofi's suspension and injuries didnt help, but I'm not sure this team ever established an identity. With the experience we had, it needed to happen.
Live and learn. Go find some grown ass men and do it again next year.
