Same results, different paths to get there Archived Message
Posted by Blazer <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=Blazer' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on February 23, 2025, 23:01:51, in reply to "To me it’s 22-23 all over again."
22-23 was by all accounts a locker room fiasco with the two freshmen guards quitting and Mayer just going rogue.

Maybe stuff will come out after the season but this year the locker room appears to be fine, but the the injuries/illnesses and Brad's management of the roster just ruined the team.

I'm still hoping we're 21-22 Michigan (and not 22-23 Michigan).
Previous Message

Started the season looking like an E8 squad minimum, and then Skyy quit and Mayer started freebasing Monster Energy drinks on Call of Duty marathons.

The whole time it was “I’ve seen these guys be awesome, maybe they can brake out of it?” But they never did.

the missing shots thing is obviously maddening to watch, but I think my biggest disappointment - snipes824 February 23, 2025, 13:47:42
Brad has always been reactionary and he won big last year with a terrible defense - CWR10 February 23, 2025, 14:57:47
This is also what I mean when I say he’s *too* bought in on analytics - GMAW February 23, 2025, 18:40:55
It all works if you have just an average shooting 3P team. This one is the worst I've ever seen* - uofi1998 February 24, 2025, 9:31:47
Remember how everyone was worshiping the shot charts early in the season?* - JeffFrank February 23, 2025, 21:57:49

Using the eye test data would reveal some hard truths for Brad - WhitmansFolly February 24, 2025, 7:17:39
I don’t think those are hard truths for Brad. I think he agrees with the strategies, which is why he - snipes824 February 24, 2025, 7:43:47
totally agree. everyone knows shooting 3s works if you hit a few. but - memyselfandillini February 23, 2025, 19:16:09

It's fine when things are going well, but when it turns into this, I'm right there with you. - uofi1998 February 24, 2025, 9:37:50
and as result we will wind up running off DGL, who might be the 3rd - memyselfandillini February 23, 2025, 19:19:50
He’s a good energy swing guard. Is he a 30min starter at either? I don’t see it* - JeffFrank February 23, 2025, 21:59:09

Re 1, I actually thought KJ was much improved last night in terms of trying to burn - GMAW February 23, 2025, 18:43:00

This. Worst. Ever. * - LovetheChief February 22, 2025, 19:56:49

Come on, Tomi. Maybe don’t pass it into the triple team.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:47:42
ivisic throws some wild passes* - snipes824 February 22, 2025, 19:47:39
Just keep it within twenty going in to the half and I feel pretty good about not losing by forty* - HeatMizer February 22, 2025, 19:46:07
We are 11 for 14 from inside the arc BTW. * - illini February 22, 2025, 19:44:56
We run absolutely zero offense. Just one on one crap* - WhitmansFolly February 22, 2025, 19:44:56
Silly* - Blazer February 22, 2025, 20:02:17
When your “offensive coach” is a nepo hire… - IlliniSax05 February 22, 2025, 19:46:32
A+* - Poldark February 22, 2025, 19:50:05
Brad has said we literally just hunt matchups.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:45:54
You can’t hunt matchups with freshman who just dribble around. - illini February 22, 2025, 19:49:15
I know that. Unfortunately the team maybe doesn’t* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:49:58
If anything I would love to see the Ben Humrichous experiment end. - illinilosch February 22, 2025, 19:44:53
Ben - 13 mins - 1 Turnover, 1 foul. No other stats* - OrangeSox February 22, 2025, 19:44:17
Missed some 3s* - Ron McDon February 22, 2025, 19:44:57

0-11. *facepalm** - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:43:10
Why is this surprising? * - illini thunder February 22, 2025, 19:43:52
I’d like to expect we could at least shoot our pitifully poor season average.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:50:34
I’d say this is unreal but we’ve seen this movie before* - illini21 February 22, 2025, 19:43:08
Now is the time for Booth to shine* - Stu February 22, 2025, 19:41:23
I have no idea what Brad sees in Ben - IlliniSax05 February 22, 2025, 19:44:13
Such amazing amounts of ass and bad basketball. - JFG February 22, 2025, 19:41:22
We’re overthinking the metrics* - GMAW February 22, 2025, 19:41:15
I actually have some sympathy - John Coctostan February 22, 2025, 19:44:40
I’m more focused on the defense. Going over the top of screens 30 feet from the basket - GMAW February 22, 2025, 19:45:43
oooo - Blazer February 22, 2025, 19:49:27
Well yeah. That too* - John Coctostan February 22, 2025, 19:49:08
And our bad ass rebounder is out for the year. Tough break there* - uofi1998 February 22, 2025, 19:45:33
It’s a major blow. That said - Blazer February 22, 2025, 19:50:54
Yep. Brad needs fresh ideas on the staff - Blazer February 22, 2025, 19:42:36
This is not awesome* - uofi1998 February 22, 2025, 19:40:54
2 on Tomi. Better get Ben back in there ASAP.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:40:31
We look as outclassed as I expected.* - voiceofreason February 22, 2025, 19:39:49
The 16 seed in the NCAA tournament will defend Duke better than this* - OrangeSox February 22, 2025, 19:39:38
Ben, what would ya say, ya do here?* - Blazer February 22, 2025, 19:39:31
Great look…*clank** - illini21 February 22, 2025, 19:40:35
0-10. Ridiculous.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:39:11
But 10-13 from two* - WhitmansFolly February 22, 2025, 19:40:26

I don’t pay attention the NET and all the metrics - illini21 February 22, 2025, 19:37:53
Beat Iowa and we’ll be safely in* - Blazer February 22, 2025, 19:39:57
Well, we’re beating them in FT% so far. So at least we’ve got that going for us.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:37:17
I feel like I need a drink, but there’s no alcohol in the house* - Stu February 22, 2025, 19:37:07
I feel like our whole team has had the flu for like 2 months* - CanHartlebHireSnider February 22, 2025, 19:36:54
And hasn’t urinated in three months* - Stu February 22, 2025, 19:37:33
Come on. We’ve pissed down our legs a couple of times* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:38:29
That was pus* - Stu February 22, 2025, 19:39:21
I just want this season to end* - opossum jenkins February 22, 2025, 19:36:53
It's crazy our defense is the problem* - reggiedunlop February 22, 2025, 19:36:32
Dribbling it directly into the opponent’s legs 3-4 times a game is not fun. * - illini February 22, 2025, 19:35:26
The defense is just so so soft - Blazer February 22, 2025, 19:34:58
Two games in a row I didn’t think we had a shot going in - illini21 February 22, 2025, 19:33:54
Not likely to have a shot when you can’t make shots - IlliniSax05 February 22, 2025, 19:34:22
Ugly * - illini thunder February 22, 2025, 19:33:34
Duke hand checks like mad and never gets called. Annoying* - uofi1998 February 22, 2025, 19:33:32
Proctor clearly fouled Boswell and not only got away with it, got the turnover too* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:34:51
2nd time it’s happened * - uofi1998 February 22, 2025, 19:35:33

He did* - Ron McDon February 22, 2025, 19:31:36
For one minute* - OrangeSox February 22, 2025, 19:31:13
The season has reached implosion level* - uofi1998 February 22, 2025, 19:30:50
Just wait * - illini thunder February 22, 2025, 19:31:23
Our on ball defense is so bad. We get beat to the bucket every time * - illini thunder February 22, 2025, 19:30:10
Another terrible D play. Right to the bucket * - illini thunder February 22, 2025, 19:31:07
One team is 4-8 from 3. The other is 0-7.* - GMAW February 22, 2025, 19:26:54
0-8. Ugh.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:29:44

1000X this* - ab75 February 22, 2025, 19:25:58
Our offense is visually abhorrent, but the defense is worse. * - illini February 22, 2025, 19:25:03
Duke's length really bothering us - jdl February 22, 2025, 19:24:43
This* - Blazer February 22, 2025, 19:26:11
These last two games, watching real shot making, man it’s stark. Our ceiling is just so low* - John Coctostan February 22, 2025, 19:23:03
The team of multiple lottery picks and top 10 recruits is better at basketball? - Blazer February 22, 2025, 19:26:46
Why does it seem this happens every year? Cannot shoot from 3 worth anything. Every. Year. * - illini thunder February 22, 2025, 19:25:27
As usual we can’t beat anyone off the dribble and can’t stop anyone on defense - IlliniSax05 February 22, 2025, 19:21:46
Or fight through a screen* - WhitmansFolly February 22, 2025, 19:24:57
You’d think the fact that we play a lot of pick n roll offense would help our pick n roll defense - IlliniSax05 February 22, 2025, 19:25:51
We’re getting past guys on the dribble and then refusing to shoot* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:23:26
KB is terrified* - HeatMizer February 22, 2025, 19:24:52
KB has actually gotten to the rim and converted a few times. KJ not so much.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:27:23
Or shoot* - Ron McDon February 22, 2025, 19:22:21
Why can’t we have an anomaly game where we shoot 47% from 3PT. I think we are 0-7 rn * - MC February 22, 2025, 19:21:31
0-7 on 3 pt shots. Is that bad?* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:21:12
if only they were more open* - snipes824 February 22, 2025, 19:21:37
That last DGL one off the drive by KJ is as good as it gets. - WhitmansFolly February 22, 2025, 19:22:30
come on* - snipes824 February 22, 2025, 19:23:46
It won’t die snipes. No matter what the bad shot truthers will never die - John Coctostan February 22, 2025, 19:25:27
Ugh, put it up on the rim KJ* - Blazer February 22, 2025, 19:21:10
Seriously. That’s like 3 or 4 of those so far.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:21:49
Ben is useless * - Ron McDon February 22, 2025, 19:20:03
Tomi rushed that shot. Must have thought the shot clock was lower?* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:19:15
Booth minutes early - and gets a rebound.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:18:07
Would be nice if our lottery pick would play like it* - Blazer February 22, 2025, 19:16:49
Humrichous’ defense is historically bad. He has no clue* - CWR10 February 22, 2025, 19:15:37
He’s a NAIA then OVC guy. He isn’t of this pedigree. * - uofi1998 February 22, 2025, 19:16:24
my two initial thoughts are i'm so fucking sick of missing every shot - snipes824 February 22, 2025, 19:15:24
Good energy so far* - HeatMizer February 22, 2025, 19:14:31
Tre White attacking the rim. LOVE IT. - GMAW February 22, 2025, 19:14:26
Yep. Really like the cuts and the dunk. The blown layup, not so much.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:15:53
I've seen enough Humrichous already* - OrangeSox February 22, 2025, 19:13:27
He’s gonna hit some shots tonight* - GMAW February 22, 2025, 19:15:14
still waiting * - Poldark February 22, 2025, 19:24:09

Yeah, he’s really struggling on both ends.* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:14:10
Autofill? - IlliniSax05 February 22, 2025, 19:14:29
God dammit tre - IlliniSax05 February 22, 2025, 19:12:54

Travel* - HeatMizer February 22, 2025, 19:11:48
So many wide open looks not even close* - John Coctostan February 22, 2025, 19:11:25
And now blowing the bunnies too (except for Boswell - how about that?)* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:12:56
It’s absolutely wild how guys transfer to Illinois and their shooting just tanks* - CanHartlebHireSnider February 22, 2025, 19:10:52
0-2 vs. 1-1 3 pt shooting so far. #notideal* - DocWalk20 February 22, 2025, 19:09:09
Just to get this out of the way early. Fuck off Ben* - HeatMizer February 22, 2025, 19:08:19
Something to be said for consistency* - Ron McDon February 22, 2025, 19:10:37
True* - HeatMizer February 22, 2025, 19:15:01

Maybe people don’t realize we’re not actually the home team * - meanjeans February 22, 2025, 9:07:52
Surprised it’s that low. Decent amount of garbage time coming in that game I guess.* - voiceofreason February 21, 2025, 14:12:53
Duke is really good but we’re the highest KenPom ranked team they’ve played in months* - CWR10 February 21, 2025, 14:25:07
It's weird that ILL and Duke have no common opponents* - LWillhite February 22, 2025, 10:06:41
Ooo - meanjeans February 21, 2025, 19:14:05

Yes. Headed up on the Amtrak this afternoon* - LeatherneckIllini February 21, 2025, 13:20:16
to see the team get waffle-stomped? I’m good* - bbonb February 21, 2025, 12:46:17
Guessing a lot of Illini fans sold so we won’t have as much of a presence as we should have. :( * - OB25 February 21, 2025, 12:32:34
yessir. Pretty cool way to check a line item off the bucket list. This town is the best.* - baconface February 21, 2025, 12:07:02
I sold my tickets last week for 6x face value. Saving up for another day* - OrangeSox February 21, 2025, 11:28:16
After fees you might have broken even.* - Chuck Woodaby February 21, 2025, 11:35:27
The fees were obscene. Still got like 4x and the promise of a 1099 for my troubles. - OrangeSox February 21, 2025, 11:40:22
I think i sold my 4 for 9x, net 6x, rebought for face a section back, covered my friend's tickets. - Chuck Woodaby February 21, 2025, 11:59:20
We will … still hoping tickets get under $300* - ab75 February 21, 2025, 11:07:10
I'm a bad fan that's probably out til the NCAA tournament - ISeeDeadHawkeyes February 21, 2025, 11:00:19
It was a really good idea when the tickets were bought back in December - BradUnderwoodforprez February 21, 2025, 10:59:41
probably* - VIV February 21, 2025, 10:54:57
