And I thought the clock stopped when the official signaled TO. - Tuscy February 23, 2026, 17:26:59 After watching the replay a half dozen times, the players seemed to be so paralyzed - GMAW February 23, 2026, 14:09:01 The two biggest flaws in the whole thing, in my opinion… - OB25 February 23, 2026, 14:47:44 I was saying out loud before the play not to foul but I was picturing a long heave in my mind. - Tuscy February 23, 2026, 14:35:19 I am still amazed we lost that game, but - and I said it in the game thread - you have to tip your - GMAW February 23, 2026, 14:51:20 Yep.

And I feel I keep bringing this up - GMAW February 23, 2026, 16:31:59 Seems to me the simplest answer is cumulative fatigue - Blazer February 23, 2026, 16:40:32 There was no set up that would have worked with zero resistance. We played Dent like we were social - OWWDig February 23, 2026, 14:45:59 Still can’t get over the spot that Z stands in at the end of the play. - OB25 February 23, 2026, 12:30:10 Like I said during the game, at least Tyus Edney still had to make a shot over a defender. - DocWalk20 February 23, 2026, 13:58:29 Didn’t he flagrantly elbow somebody in a Braggin Rights game?

So I think he knows he fucked that - snipes824 February 23, 2026, 11:44:34 Should have done it last year after the TN game - jdl February 23, 2026, 11:51:18 Yeah. I think Brad is incredible at big picture strategy and less incredible on specific plays - snipes824 February 23, 2026, 11:59:37 So, I guess our defensive assistant is Camryn Crocker. First year on campus. - osklister February 23, 2026, 13:20:36 Yep. A pretty big deal was made about his hire last off season. Not sure how much Brad trusts him or - DocWalk20 February 23, 2026, 13:55:54 agreed* - OWWDig February 23, 2026, 11:47:52 The defensive alignment still baffles me* - Mrap24 February 23, 2026, 11:16:03 Should have just played straight up normal D - jdl February 23, 2026, 11:41:38 Yep he outsmarted himself* - CWR10 February 23, 2026, 11:54:01 and he took a timeout to do it, too* - VIV February 23, 2026, 11:32:45 Two of them! * - Tuscy February 23, 2026, 11:59:11 Good. It’s a pattern and hopefully will prompt some adjustments* - CWR10 February 23, 2026, 10:56:16 Indeed.* - Warrin'_Illini February 23, 2026, 10:57:19 What's the site again that predicts the conference tourney seeding? - tvillini February 23, 2026, 9:57:48 ooo - Mrap24 February 23, 2026, 10:01:25 After a 2 loss week, Lunardi moves Houston up to a 1 seed.

Can we bounce back? That was just a horrible loss.* - Warrin'_Illini February 23, 2026, 8:58:21 I was reminded last night of the loss at Penn State two years ago (the TSJ/E8 team) - Blazer February 23, 2026, 11:37:46 I member. That was indeed another terrible one.* - Warrin'_Illini February 23, 2026, 11:49:39 Definitely would be a better mindset coming off a win and building up to Friday night, I think. - JFG February 23, 2026, 9:30:58 Beat Michigan and we probably lock up a 2 seed right? - illini21 February 23, 2026, 9:00:00 I guess, but I fear they are just better than us. I'm really worried about dead legs. - Warrin'_Illini February 23, 2026, 9:07:26 Well, according to Brad's post-game, we have two off days this week before we start Michigan prep. - JFG February 23, 2026, 9:27:26 Wagler's definitely gassed. He's 2-11 3PT the last three games and looks worn out. - Kajagoogoo February 23, 2026, 9:25:43 Mirkovic is very important to this team - biclops February 23, 2026, 9:54:42 All of our metrics are entirely unchanged.

Really upset with the defense at the end, but we're still in good hands* - OWWDig February 22, 2026, 12:57:09 I’d be ecstatic to be proven wrong. He has lost his last 5 OT games.* - LeatherneckIllini February 22, 2026, 11:42:26 We can be mad about the final play and its execution (and for very good reason) - Blazer February 22, 2026, 13:02:16 What does that have to do with the ceiling of the program under his watch? - OB25 February 22, 2026, 12:33:34 Are we even going to have enough players to field a team next year?* - Stu February 22, 2026, 8:36:05 no because Andrej will transfer * - Poldark February 22, 2026, 9:09:30 We have a coach who’s shown more willingness to evolve - ab75 February 22, 2026, 8:15:14 Meh...our two best players are freshmen and freshmen are still freshmen, even in 2025 - ATL February 22, 2026, 7:20:34 I hope you are right* - LeatherneckIllini February 22, 2026, 8:09:40 I still can't believe we let a guy go full court basically unabated to lose.

Probably don’t need to beat Michigan. Just win the last two non-Q1 games* - ilinni11 February 22, 2026, 11:00:29 By my math Dre was 46/47 for FT in B1G play before going 6/9 today, including 3/3 to start the game - meanjeans February 21, 2026, 23:11:09 Also: somebody please put Tim Brando out to pasture* - Blazer February 21, 2026, 23:08:51 And take Jim Jackson with him* - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 23:21:13 Shitty loss.

Literally anything else they could have - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 23:39:32 Bos was caught in no man’s land because he was responsible for Perry - Blazer February 21, 2026, 23:31:24 Just seems like you have to put 2 guys on Dent on the inbounds… - OB25 February 21, 2026, 23:33:16 Totally agree—I’m just saying I think Bos was supposed to check Perry - Blazer February 21, 2026, 23:37:56 We would have been better off letting them roll the ball to half court * - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 23:40:28 Speaking of, why do we roll the ball 5 times a game and then immediately burn 10 seconds of clock* - meanjeans February 22, 2026, 0:21:49 Game clock runs while the shot clock doesn’t.* - Carl Spackler February 22, 2026, 7:01:50 Oh really? Huh I didn’t realize, thanks * - meanjeans February 22, 2026, 8:11:49 sad lulz* - Blazer February 21, 2026, 23:40:55 Brad had the set up right before we called the final TO - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 23:52:25 He’s not wrong* - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 23:22:30 My biggest gripe is the 4.9 seconds left. When you’re down 1 and you take your shot with 6+ seconds - meanjeans February 21, 2026, 23:16:17 Meh, It’s pretty textbook to go at 10-12 seconds and leave time for a putback* - Blazer February 21, 2026, 23:18:39 Not the game theory textbook that’s for sure * - meanjeans February 21, 2026, 23:22:15 You always go early if losing, you only run it to the very final seconds if it’s a tie game* - OB25 February 21, 2026, 23:27:02 You want to leave no time on the clock when it’s tied not when you’re down - Blazer February 21, 2026, 23:26:06 Yeah I shouldn’t have said “biggest gripe”. It’s way down the list * - meanjeans February 21, 2026, 23:32:06 Two things concern me: that was as well defended as I’ve seen our offense look in a while - meanjeans February 21, 2026, 22:59:52 We still scored 36 in the second half and generated non stop wide open looks - Blazer February 21, 2026, 23:13:21 Eh, I think we were below 1.3 for the game (ballpark), so if it was 1.6 in 1H it was nearing 1.0 - meanjeans February 21, 2026, 23:21:35 Sure, but I don’t think that was UCLA’s defense or running into walls - Blazer February 21, 2026, 23:24:55 Yeah but I don’t think you can look at this game and just say burn the tape, unlucky 3s - meanjeans February 21, 2026, 23:33:25 I think the answer is probably Mirk. We couldn’t play through him which really takes the - Blazer February 21, 2026, 23:44:10 Jus don’t fall to a 4 seed and pray for good matchups* - cpsteine February 21, 2026, 22:57:13 We won’t fall to a 4 unless we lose to Oregon or Maryland. Lots of teams in - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 23:02:16 The turnover and foul on a 3 at the end of the half was as damaging as we feared at the time.* - OB25 February 21, 2026, 22:49:18 dre and mirk being 1-12; 0-7; 7-11 with 4 tos didn’t help either.* - Ari Gold February 21, 2026, 22:42:14 Mirkovic was -11, Stojakovic -8, Davis -5, and Zvonimir -3 - biclops February 21, 2026, 22:52:08 oooo - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:51:46 What frustrates me the most is we had 2 time outs to devise a plan - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 22:38:17 It is, but it's one play. Far more concerned about what this game says about the defense - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:50:39 Comments from BU post game - jdl February 21, 2026, 22:53:18 If we were going after the shooters, we sure as hell did a bad job of it - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:54:16 Yeah which is why it's not our game plan * - jdl February 22, 2026, 11:59:59 On defense is definitely a problem. As is our lack of athleticism* - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 22:53:09 BU said they knew the back screen was coming - jdl February 21, 2026, 22:49:59 Keeps getting worse. Just a huge bugled play. We did everything wrong* - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 22:51:46 Last year against Tennessee we had two timeouts and didn’t use either and the same thing happened. - illini February 21, 2026, 22:45:53 If I recall, that was on KJ (playing the role Dre played tonight)* - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:53:26 Shit is fucked up and bullshit* - gvibes February 21, 2026, 22:31:51 i'm honestly so annoyed - snipes824 February 21, 2026, 22:34:43 We either lose in the first weekend or make the final four. Very matchup dependent team.* - Toonces February 21, 2026, 22:45:47 Were we 10/19 from 3 at one point? Or am I making that up* - gvibes February 21, 2026, 22:38:16 maybe even 7 for 11?* - Ari Gold February 21, 2026, 22:46:59 1st half* - CanHartlebHireSnider February 21, 2026, 22:38:33 Honestly, Big Z is a bigger part of the problem on that last play than many others - OB25 February 21, 2026, 22:10:55 That also brings up another point, regarding the entire play. - illini February 21, 2026, 22:16:05 GMAW texted me during the time out and said we should trap immediately* - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 22:23:24 The biggest mistake was either pressure the ball and the back court or neither. - Carl Spackler February 21, 2026, 22:29:13 Correct. We just played some weird middle* - CanHartlebHireSnider February 21, 2026, 22:38:17 Yep. Bad sequence of coaching there by the staff. Critical mistake/error* - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 22:35:33 ^^This^^ The middle ground approach we took was the worst option possible.* - DocWalk20 February 21, 2026, 22:32:35 Yeah I think we were terrified of fouling. Played it like the coaches told them whatever you do - Herman Blume February 21, 2026, 22:38:58 Z’s contest doesn’t bother me. We’d just been whistled for a ghost foul down there. - opossum jenkins February 21, 2026, 22:21:34 Yep. Make him win it at the line* - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:11:32 we would have been furious if he fouled him - snipes824 February 21, 2026, 22:33:55 BU said the refs wouldn't call it - jdl February 21, 2026, 22:51:31 For the record I wasn’t saying to give a foul intentionally. - OB25 February 21, 2026, 22:43:01 Fair enough. Was just thinking the up two, make the 62% FT shooter win it - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:42:49 Come on* - Herman Blume February 21, 2026, 22:21:48 Cope City population: Me.* - Toonces February 21, 2026, 22:10:34 Also, what in gods green earth was Dre doing on that play? - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 22:09:28 He was really really bad all night* - Herman Blume February 21, 2026, 22:12:04 Beat Michigan on Friday and this won’t matter* - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:07:17 Lunardi drops us to 8 and moves Purdue up to 6.* - OB25 February 21, 2026, 22:02:16 lol* - biclops February 21, 2026, 22:03:41 C’mon.* - voiceofreason February 21, 2026, 22:02:59 What does Kenyon say about blowing enormous leads to mediocre teams late in the season* - Herman Blume February 21, 2026, 22:01:57 don’t do it?* - memyselfandillini February 21, 2026, 22:04:17 Basically if we run into a good team with a PG who can penetrate we are cooked* - Ron McDon February 21, 2026, 21:59:23 We beat teams with Christian Anderson, Braden Smith, Bennett Stirtz, and Bruce Thornton* - OB25 February 21, 2026, 22:01:04 Ohio State is a good team? lol sure. I’ll give you Purdue.* - Ron McDon February 21, 2026, 22:08:02 Also, Christian Anderson is at worst a top 5 PG in the country so that one should certainly count* - OB25 February 21, 2026, 22:17:02 I’m team OB on this, but we did also let Braden go for 27 and 12 - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:23:44 And as I recall, Thornton went thermonuclear in the OSU game. - opossum jenkins February 21, 2026, 22:27:14 See my response below. I’m not denying that we struggle with good guards. - OB25 February 21, 2026, 22:30:11 That’s kind of my point though. We are good enough that the PG can go off and we can still win - OB25 February 21, 2026, 22:26:33 Well said* - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:31:30 We make 1 more FT or get 1 more rebound and we beat Jeremy Fears and Nick Boyd too. - OB25 February 21, 2026, 22:13:21 Yeah but this is the 5th time we haven’t. Inability to close out close ones is glaring* - ilinni11 February 21, 2026, 22:20:42 I dunno, Texas Tech, Tennessee, Ohio State, Iowa, Purdue were all close down the stretch - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:30:04 Tim Beckman agrees* - Ron McDon February 21, 2026, 22:18:59 wannyesque.* - Ari Gold February 21, 2026, 22:30:35 You guys are the one Beckmaning more than me, just in the opposite direction. - OB25 February 21, 2026, 22:23:29 Aunt … balls … uncle - Kajagoogoo February 21, 2026, 22:17:35 Details, details.* - DocWalk20 February 21, 2026, 22:01:32 I applaud OB for attempting to keep these posters in check tonight* - illini21 February 21, 2026, 22:04:05 Mirk needs to text Brad again * - jdl February 21, 2026, 21:57:26 Brad didn’t really hold back in his postgame interview with WDWS* - illini21 February 21, 2026, 22:01:52 Said Mirk's play was "childish" tonight - WhitmansFolly February 21, 2026, 22:07:50 Yikes * - biclops February 21, 2026, 22:09:18 We don't do well when he has bad games* - Tooldresser February 21, 2026, 21:59:56 All 4 Big Ten losses are the bad Mirk games. Becoming pretty clear that he’s the difference for us* - OB25 February 21, 2026, 21:59:29 Maybe getting clocked in the head threw him off * - jdl February 21, 2026, 22:01:36 Yep* - Tooldresser February 21, 2026, 22:00:15 Mirk sat the last 10 minutes of the game* - CanHartlebHireSnider February 21, 2026, 21:59:03 the last play was bad. unfortunate. giving up 1.36 points per possession to the #42 offense, brutal* - Orangeillini February 21, 2026, 21:55:37 Yea. Defense was bad most of the game* - OWWDig February 21, 2026, 21:56:46 (and their offense was #51 before the game. they rose 9 spots from this performance. sigh)* - Orangeillini February 21, 2026, 21:56:30 #notideal* - DocWalk20 February 21, 2026, 21:58:28 The more I watch it the angrier I get. You just cant allow Boswell to get behind the play immediate - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 21:53:21 That was bad coaching at the end* - Tooldresser February 21, 2026, 22:09:57 The just let Dent catch the ball running downhill. It wasn’t even really pressure - CanHartlebHireSnider February 21, 2026, 21:57:35 Right. We essentially took Boswell off the floor.* - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 21:58:36 33-10. * - illini February 21, 2026, 21:52:06 2-5 in close games. Concerning? At least we don’t get blown out? - nash February 21, 2026, 21:50:37 Yeah, we don’t exactly inspire confidence if it’s a tight game late.* - DocWalk20 February 21, 2026, 21:51:42 kenpom stayed at 4. offense up from 132.3 to 132.7. defense dropped from 24 to 31 (ouch)* - Orangeillini February 21, 2026, 21:50:35 So is the analytics circle jerk still on or not?….asking for a friend* - ilinni11 February 21, 2026, 22:17:30 At one point in the first half we were at like 1.8 ppp. Alas* - Blazer February 21, 2026, 21:51:23 It’s worse when you tell your wife before the inbounds that Dent would get a shot at the rim* - opossum jenkins February 21, 2026, 21:48:41 Four losses 9 total points * - biclops February 21, 2026, 21:47:51 Watched the replay a few times and must admit the play design was an A+ - OB25 February 21, 2026, 21:47:40 When you allow them to take out a defender immediately of course it works. - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 21:49:19 What are you referring to?* - OB25 February 21, 2026, 21:52:38 By having Boswell up on the guy and him running across the court - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 21:56:46 While I agree that set up was horrendous, I don’t think your description is accurate* - Blazer February 21, 2026, 21:59:23 For the life of me I cannot understand why you’d have Boswell up that far. - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 22:06:01 Because Perry was right there too, and if he leaves Perry to trap Dent - Blazer February 21, 2026, 22:15:14 It’s not 5 on 4, their inbounder is out of the play too.* - OB25 February 21, 2026, 21:58:01 The way Keaton slammed into that screen I don’t think anyone called it out - Blazer February 21, 2026, 21:52:29 One more comment: this doesn’t help my trust in Underwood in big situations. - voiceofreason February 21, 2026, 21:46:50 this team doesn’t play defense well enough to get where we want.* - Ron McDon February 21, 2026, 21:49:40 Correct.* - voiceofreason February 21, 2026, 23:51:05 The maddening thing is they have in spurts shown that they can play good enough defense.* - DocWalk20 February 21, 2026, 21:52:37 Yeah thought we were making progress - jdl February 21, 2026, 21:59:29 I assume our online fam base will take this loss perfectly in stride - Blazer February 21, 2026, 21:45:46 Meh. Justifiable crash outs on this one. * - MC February 21, 2026, 21:51:12 I have no problem with being furious at this loss - Blazer February 21, 2026, 21:53:34 Dots - illini21 February 21, 2026, 21:54:52 I love Brad and want him to be our coach for as long as he’s able. - voiceofreason February 21, 2026, 21:48:56 FIRE EVERYONE.

Deny Dent the ball. Period* - CWR10 February 21, 2026, 21:44:34 Why the fuck did Brad move Boswell and Wagler up after that time out? - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 21:43:46 Dent still blows right past them easily if they’re pushed farther back. You can’t foul him.* - OB25 February 21, 2026, 21:48:53 Yeah I don’t understand the hard contest in the backcourt* - Carl Spackler February 21, 2026, 21:45:22 Incredibly stupid* - John Coctostan February 21, 2026, 21:46:17 I assume he thought they would be able to pressure and slow him down - Blazer February 21, 2026, 21:49:50 If you don’t pressure the ball, pressuring Dent is impossible* - Carl Spackler February 21, 2026, 21:55:34 If you’re going to move them up, move them all the way up and deny the inbound pass. - DocWalk20 February 21, 2026, 21:45:09 But even that is absurd. Brand had it right before the time out. - Mrap24 February 21, 2026, 21:47:56 Less absurd than what we ended up doing.* - DocWalk20 February 21, 2026, 21:49:52 I do not understand pressing.

You have to trap that immediately* - GMAW February 21, 2026, 21:43:33 First, deny. Then trap.
