I refuse to believe that Underwood doesn’t know this stuff. - voiceofreason February 19, 2025, 13:43:13 That's great analysis, and more evidence that our offense is not generating quality shots* - Blazer February 19, 2025, 12:32:00 it's pretty much get healthy, shoot the ball better, and get hot - RSMBob February 19, 2025, 11:57:36 That's a lot of words for "You should move ball and bodies like Wisconsin, but you don't" - LWillhite February 19, 2025, 11:52:59 I get so tired of hearing/reading that we’ll figure it out by March, or what a - jjlocke923 February 19, 2025, 11:24:40 Just blind optimism. Like a calendar page is gonna make the difference. Eh. - osklister February 19, 2025, 11:51:26 To be fair, Underwood teams generally improve / get better into late February / March. - DocWalk20 February 19, 2025, 13:05:18 Someone send that to the staff...stat* - OWWDig February 19, 2025, 11:01:31 hell, just send it to the Underwoods - IlliniSax05 February 19, 2025, 11:15:43 Sounds like the makings for a cell phone commercial. "Life with the Underwoods." - osklister February 19, 2025, 11:59:03 hot cousin Sara Jean needs bandwidth for her Only Fans - IlliniSax05 February 19, 2025, 12:03:34 Yeah, that sums it up pretty well - reggiedunlop February 19, 2025, 10:47:39 Random musings - snipes824 February 19, 2025, 9:25:19 The first point says it all … when KJ played like a star we were very good - ab75 February 19, 2025, 11:45:48 He also looks a lot better with a healthy Tomi and Morez. No Morez and a one legged Tomi? - Chuck Woodaby February 19, 2025, 11:48:01 Largely agree.. i think brad's job at this point is mostly roster management - ijustkrushalot February 19, 2025, 11:23:33 It would also be nice to have a bigger guard/wing that is a defensive stopper* - reggiedunlop February 19, 2025, 10:48:44 I think that’s an overly harsh assessment of KJ, saying he’s been borderline not good for a while - OB25 February 19, 2025, 10:20:09 I think you’re right. He was very good recently in some games - snipes824 February 19, 2025, 11:02:24 Career/Season high points against UCLA and Minnesota (24) and a great first half against MSU (13) - Chuck Woodaby February 19, 2025, 10:27:50 He can score...but the TOs are killers.* - OWWDig February 19, 2025, 10:53:30 I feel like his turnovers are pretty evenly distributed into 3 categories - OB25 February 19, 2025, 11:08:36 really? Maybe I'm just harsh, but i'd put those more like 50/30/20 - John Coctostan February 19, 2025, 11:11:53 Lately yes.. to the point you wonder if hes got injury issues still, or a prion disease - ijustkrushalot February 19, 2025, 11:13:19 It's possible, but he gets the ball poked away a lot from behind and I'm not sure they're hacks* - OWWDig February 19, 2025, 11:10:54 I don't really understand today's market, but Riley should stay one more year - Stu February 19, 2025, 9:53:49 Are we going to go with White transfers again? - Tooldresser February 19, 2025, 9:50:07 Tre would be his 4th transfer in 4 years. Just can't see that happening. - OWWDig February 19, 2025, 10:01:48 I think a guy who has done 3 in3 is very likely to go for #4. * - larue33 February 19, 2025, 10:26:27 Can't argue with that, I suppose. Given his performance though...gotta be a shrinking market* - OWWDig February 19, 2025, 10:52:20 So the thing with Morez is that he plays so damn hard. - EffinIllini February 19, 2025, 10:21:43 He seems to have a ton of leadership qualities too - jdl February 19, 2025, 17:35:25 It's certainly possible...but also, some guys are just wired that way. Just too much smoke - OWWDig February 19, 2025, 10:51:39 Is there really "too much smoke"? - bjl63 February 19, 2025, 11:01:51 Could be...but it's been out there for a while. It's only getting bigger now bc of the - OWWDig February 19, 2025, 11:07:40 Any chance we agreed to pay TA $700K to take the year off as long as he promised not to take those - Chuck Woodaby February 19, 2025, 10:54:15 there's always a chance :) but it's not like we could control it either.* - OWWDig February 19, 2025, 11:02:53 I definitely want to keep Davis. He can be a really nice piece off the bench going forward * - illini21 February 19, 2025, 10:00:43 He was great. Not so much since he hurt his arm, though* - bjl63 February 19, 2025, 9:35:22 He was. But I don’t know what is arm and what is being scouted and not being able to adjust* - snipes824 February 19, 2025, 9:53:55 There is some wild shit in this game thread. Basking in the familiar feeling of being off the rails* - OrangeSox February 19, 2025, 8:56:48 I can't believe we have to play Duke this week. Fuck me.* - Warrin'_Illini February 19, 2025, 8:50:37 I think it’s great. Sucks that we ruined what should be a game we’d really look forward to, but… - OB25 February 19, 2025, 9:21:32 The way sicknesses have torn through this team has been crazy - Jackie February 19, 2025, 8:42:31 Ivisic coming to the U.S. from eastern Europe and getting every plaque imaginable in two months - illini February 19, 2025, 9:02:29 Should be about to turn his immune system into iron-like steel by now* - illinilosch February 19, 2025, 9:25:50 Was Tre hurt or just “benched” - Mrap24 February 19, 2025, 8:36:16 He was sick first. Not sure what happened next. * - illini February 19, 2025, 9:01:29 Sick I think. Roughy mentioned a while back that both DGL and Tre looked like they lost 10lbs. - tvillini February 19, 2025, 8:57:21 does it matter? - Poldark February 19, 2025, 8:41:44 time to get separate water bottles* - lcubed February 19, 2025, 8:15:30 Do these guys wash their hands? LOL!* - Tooldresser February 19, 2025, 9:51:18 Remember when we were up 16 on MSU? - uofi1998 February 19, 2025, 7:25:57 68% TO rate for KJ. that seems impossible* - John Coctostan February 19, 2025, 7:12:51 he’s a mess.* - Ari Gold February 19, 2025, 7:27:22 In any other generation the talk of him being a lottery pick would seem laughable. - illinilosch February 19, 2025, 8:02:21 NET 20, Kenpom 21. Looks like the Rutgers loss fell to Q2* - biclops February 19, 2025, 7:04:17 so is central Illinois reeling under some virus just like the south. - rozoben February 18, 2025, 23:25:25 It hammered my household last week.

I got mine and have been fine - Jackie February 19, 2025, 8:40:51 I got the shot but still got sick this week. 4 weeks ago Mr Roz was sick but I never got it - rozoben February 19, 2025, 14:37:03 For those with influenza a is it turning into an ear infection? - GhostofPokeyStixPast February 19, 2025, 9:50:15 I’ve heard that from a couple of people* - illini21 February 19, 2025, 9:59:42 Nope and I usually get one every year. Whoops* - illini21 February 19, 2025, 9:20:10 My dad got the flu shot but had a bad case of the flu. - ghost_of_clt February 19, 2025, 8:46:57 yep, we all got them. not sure why it hit some harder than others* - lcubed February 19, 2025, 8:44:58 No post-game handshake due to illness. Davis left vomiting. Ivisic didn't travel with the team. - Tuscy February 19, 2025, 6:40:50 I’ve been down with the flu since Sunday. It’s brutal* - illini21 February 19, 2025, 6:24:58 i've been down with O.P.P. since 1991* - ArtVandelay February 19, 2025, 7:01:17 Hurricane had the flu last week * - Jackie February 19, 2025, 6:26:27 Remember when Boswell was burning sage around the court pregame of the USC game? - OB25 February 18, 2025, 22:48:37 Boz needs to do a reverse burn sage ritual going in the opposite direction * - rozoben February 18, 2025, 22:55:18 It could only help at this point* - Jackie February 19, 2025, 8:38:53 We had one guy with a positive +/- tonight - GMAW February 18, 2025, 22:43:10 Q: In what world should Boswell be playing more than Lawhorn? - Dark Knight February 18, 2025, 22:41:21 Lol Underwood gets so annoyed at every Buchson question.* - OB25 February 18, 2025, 22:39:46 Also spent a couple minutes pleading with all Illini fans to buy TSJ’s shirt for charity* - OB25 February 18, 2025, 22:43:15 I just wish this team tried to build on what we had. Brought Coleman, Goode, Ty, Amani, Sincere - JacobRDaugherty February 18, 2025, 22:06:44 There’s no way they could have done anything close to that. - OB25 February 18, 2025, 22:11:02 Agreed, but I think you could have prioritized Goode - Blazer February 18, 2025, 22:13:29 I just don’t think there’s any path to a great season if Ty and Luke are guaranteed starters - OB25 February 18, 2025, 22:20:00 How is it different than Tre and Ben being starters for 2/3 of the year? - Blazer February 18, 2025, 23:11:40 The legends of Luke and Ty.* - Chuck Woodaby February 18, 2025, 23:53:02 Probably. But if Ben shot 40% from three this year like Luke, we probably win 3-4 more games - Blazer February 19, 2025, 12:27:56 Agree, that would be a pretty low ceiling team - jdl February 18, 2025, 22:28:37 I love Ty but it's not ideal when you have a guard who can't shoot and teams don't guard him. - Chuck Woodaby February 18, 2025, 22:27:26 I wouldn’t take him over either guy - GMAW February 18, 2025, 22:38:56 Yeah that’s true. When you’re frustrated it’s easy to forget how bad a complete zero shooter was* - snipes824 February 18, 2025, 23:00:47 Agreed, not sure how Kylan in his current form satisfies that need.* - Chuck Woodaby February 18, 2025, 22:43:06 But it made perfect sense in theory when he was a high volume 39% 3PT shooter for 2 years* - OB25 February 18, 2025, 22:44:11 1 month ago after the IU game Brad was a genius.* - Chuck Woodaby February 18, 2025, 22:45:31 This team needs someone to attack the basket* - JacobRDaugherty February 18, 2025, 22:42:38 yep. goode over ben and ty over white and this is a better team. I think there's a lesson there - snipes824 February 18, 2025, 22:17:34 Goode tripled his money and got to go home to IU. Prioritize better takes* - Chuck Woodaby February 18, 2025, 22:16:17 Indeed. But we paid Ben more than Goode is getting at IU - Blazer February 18, 2025, 22:17:52 We weren't going to pay Coleman what he wanted - jdl February 18, 2025, 22:10:05 Should have brought TJ and Domask back too* - Chuck Woodaby February 18, 2025, 22:08:21 Once Chester left, Harris and Hansberry were, too. And they're not very good, either. - Kajagoogoo February 18, 2025, 22:08:01 Hansberry is pretty solid. And maybe Chester wasn't the guy to push out * - larue33 February 18, 2025, 22:11:53 Hansberry is really solid as a True Sophomore. He would play here.* - JacobRDaugherty February 18, 2025, 22:46:36 This team being sick is turning into Duhon’s rib* - HeatMizer February 18, 2025, 22:02:25 Except there’s actually been a postivie mono test and active vomiting. - DocWalk20 February 18, 2025, 22:04:49 DGL allegedly lost 10 pounds* - OB25 February 18, 2025, 22:05:43 That Duke team went to the final four * - ijustkrushalot February 18, 2025, 22:03:34 Duke has so much size. Saturday is gonna be a mess * - illini February 18, 2025, 21:54:51 Keaton Kutcher and AJ Redd should get 20 minutes each. - ijustkrushalot February 18, 2025, 22:00:04 duke team total will be?* - Ari Gold February 18, 2025, 21:56:35 Definitely going to test your refractory period* - Herman Blume February 18, 2025, 22:02:04 However many minutes you’re rock hard thinking about it - Blazer February 18, 2025, 22:01:28 1 sentence too much* - OWWDig February 18, 2025, 21:56:32 so who will even be back next year to build around? - Ari Gold February 18, 2025, 21:54:27 At this point, who knows? And this season might kill recruiting momentum, too. - Kajagoogoo February 18, 2025, 21:56:12 Yes, recruits hate putting guys in the league and a strong NIL game* - Blazer February 18, 2025, 21:57:59 We'll see. Even if Brad lands 18-yo studs again, what's he gonna do with them? - Kajagoogoo February 18, 2025, 22:02:18 Win 3 B1G titles and go to the Elite 8?* - Vandy February 19, 2025, 0:55:15 With a team like this? Not happening. Maybe if he's willing to "get old" again and rebuild this team - Kajagoogoo February 19, 2025, 9:25:39 I dunno. Win more games? - Blazer February 18, 2025, 22:06:54 I’m sitting on this wall with you. He’s been bad this year, but holy shit look at what he’s - voiceofreason February 18, 2025, 22:23:34 Hopefully give them an offense to run. * - larue33 February 18, 2025, 22:06:06 Guys, we are not even a year removed from being a top 10 team and going to the Elite 8* - OB25 February 18, 2025, 22:04:54 This. We’ve collectively lost our minds* - Blazer February 18, 2025, 22:07:42 Consider the source. I'm sure Loyalty is loaded with morons calling for Underwood's firing.* - Illiniphil February 19, 2025, 7:34:20 LMAO! Okay, empty troll. - Kajagoogoo February 19, 2025, 9:23:33 Look at how many people are agreeing with your knee jerk around here. - Illiniphil February 19, 2025, 11:27:56 Jake, Dra, Tre, Tomi, KB….maybe Will* - OWWDig February 18, 2025, 21:56:05 Tre and Dra? Doubt it. Will's gone, too. - Kajagoogoo February 18, 2025, 21:57:14 Tre? 4th school in 4 years? Dra? Still friends with Davis and may feel good here - OWWDig February 19, 2025, 9:44:54 that’s pretty bleak and certainly won’t help the nonexistent culture.* - Ari Gold February 18, 2025, 21:59:34 If you can get Tomi, Morez, Davis, and one of Boswell or DGL back… - OB25 February 18, 2025, 22:04:11 morez would be the key there.* - Ari Gold February 18, 2025, 22:06:34 Well, Brad (probably). - osklister February 18, 2025, 21:55:06 Huge props to Tomi, he is a warrior. - OB25 February 18, 2025, 21:47:13 oooo - Blazer February 18, 2025, 21:57:00 Speaking of Jake - jdl February 18, 2025, 21:49:35 Brad said he was "on the toilet" during half. - WhitmansFolly February 18, 2025, 22:04:41 Can’t wait to see how many more guys get sick before the Duke game. - OB25 February 18, 2025, 21:52:18 Amazing how illness keeps ravaging this team. Haven’t seen anything like it - bjl63 February 18, 2025, 21:54:31 Someone said he got sick mid-game. Nit sure if that was a serious comment or not.* - voiceofreason February 18, 2025, 21:50:52 He didn’t appear to be on the bench in the second half - Blazer February 18, 2025, 21:50:22 Somebody mentioned he was maybe ill too - puking during the game?* - DocWalk20 February 18, 2025, 21:50:21 i noticed he was on the bench next to Tomi at times during warmups* - ijustkrushalot February 18, 2025, 21:54:33 correct. the radio guys reported that at halftime.* - Ari Gold February 18, 2025, 21:51:56 Ah thanks, missed that * - jdl February 18, 2025, 21:51:27 Dra would be league scoring champ in the Mac. * - illini February 18, 2025, 21:49:27 Santa Clara seems like a good destination.* - Chuck Woodaby February 18, 2025, 21:53:45 Too soon.* - DocWalk20 February 18, 2025, 21:58:52 Also, RIP Wisconsin streak* - Blazer February 18, 2025, 21:47:04 I choose to celebrate that it happened.* - voiceofreason February 18, 2025, 21:49:31 Hopefully not the start of another streak - jdl February 18, 2025, 21:50:33 The offense wasn’t great, but it was passable - Blazer February 18, 2025, 21:46:29 Rez is huge for our D - jdl February 18, 2025, 21:53:50 I’ve been on record since last year that I hate our scheme - Blazer February 18, 2025, 22:03:53 It's not bad as a base scheme - jdl February 18, 2025, 22:13:35 YES!!! - larue33 February 18, 2025, 22:19:35 Agreed - Blazer February 18, 2025, 22:15:13 yep. the end of the ucla game was lol bad, but got swept under the rug with the w.* - Ari Gold February 18, 2025, 21:51:07 Just sucking the joy out of life* - reggiedunlop February 18, 2025, 21:44:04 Agree. - osklister February 18, 2025, 21:46:36 Starters can’t even stop the end of the bench guys.

Because I wouldn’t put it past this group* - Ron McDon February 18, 2025, 21:43:15 No team with 7 Q1 wins has ever missed.

The roster management has been chaos - Blazer February 18, 2025, 21:42:06 It has been odd watching Brad not have a feel for a team this late in the year.* - voiceofreason February 18, 2025, 21:45:50 That was why we hired him IIRC. Team at OSU got better as the year went on. - osklister February 18, 2025, 21:50:58 And until this season, that’s mostly been the case at Illinois. - DocWalk20 February 18, 2025, 21:57:12 Our fanbase is legit insane - Blazer February 18, 2025, 21:59:43 Pretty much sums it up.* - DocWalk20 February 18, 2025, 22:01:43 He ruined Tre White* - GMAW February 18, 2025, 21:43:30 And the DGL stuff is such a bad look - Blazer February 18, 2025, 21:48:21 2nd time in 3 seasons it's turned into a mess - UIHuskie February 18, 2025, 21:37:27 We might be watching different games.

Somehow that’s fallen off for Boswell too.* - DocWalk20 February 18, 2025, 21:47:04 That was amazing. He’s passed up a half dozen wide open threes, then that* - GMAW February 18, 2025, 21:37:39 passed up that layup earlier too.
