All teams are missing players for many games - they do not keep whining about it. Tired of listening yet another round of excuses. Change your coaching and stop jacking all the 3s and cut down on turnovers. it is not easy to get offensive rebounds against tall athletic teams - so if you out of rhythm 3 ball is not going in, try something else, like dribble penetration and kick out or pick and roll. And you did not get to FT line because you did not get time in between jacking up those 3s! DGL was getting hot - yet stayed on bench for a very long time in second half
Boswell and Ben were absolutely terrible tonight. Both were brought in for senior leadership, but they bring nothing. Ben can't get a shot and Boswell was just sloppy. Just really disappointed.
The two stats that define what I saw tonight: Turnovers Maryland 7 Illinois 16 FG: Maryland 36-72 Illinois 23-61 The Illini just coughing up the ball. And Maryland scoring with ease in the paint. Everything else was pretty even, 3-pts, rebounding, fouls.
I dont know why the program doesnt enhance things over the off season Defensive tool bag Out of bounds plays on defense, other teams stay with 2pts off a T.O Just enhance things / examine the losses from the season to get better
This guy just doesn't coach his players, that's the problem. He doesn't teach. He doesn't understand the concept of a set offensive play. Ben isn't open? Can't get a shot off? Then run a damn set play designed for him, where he can roll around a screen and receive a pass and be open for a catch and shoot 3. if he is unable to create his own open looks. That's basic junior high basketball camp type stuff. Can Dan Hurley please teach this guy how to be an X's and O's coach instead of him just having his guys run around rogue going iso all the time with no rhyme or reason to the offense? He's a shoe salesman. I'd have this team playing much better basketball than this and getting more out of these guys.
This is the best comment ever. This perfectly describes Brad Underwood as a coach and his tenure at Illinois but happy with mediocrity Illinois fan base will say you’re wrong and Brad is one of the best coaches in the country 😂😂.
correctly sums up Brad Underwood tenure. Really really bad Xs and Os coach. he is a snake oil salesman with good recruitment but as a teacher/coach with good coaching his players - he is just plain awful.
Shut up 🤫@ColieeeCole we have a right to complain. This is the NIL era pal Illinois has good NIL some of the best college basketball facilities in the all of college basketball and Brad Underwood is one of the highest paid college basketball coaches in the country. Top 5 I don’t want to hear excuses . This is not the YMCA pickup basketball. This team stinks
Heres rhe rhing we were getting to the Free throw line in mom league play and we played a rough out of conference schedule why are we not getting to the charity stripe in league play????
@@randpherigo9724 If anything, I now think MSU has a good shot at winning in Champaign. I mean if USC and Maryland can win there, MSU should certainly be able to
I saw izzo being friendly with the refs.. he had both his hands on the refs shoulders.. so yeah I blame that ref.. no coach should be doing that & NO REF ALLOW IT
This is where the new transfer portal, and to an extent NIL, have ruined college basketball. Almost impossible to keep a core and therefore familiar faces that stay 3-4 years that create a unique team culture. Reinstate redshirting for transfers. If they wanna chase playing time they need to work for it the old way. If they want moolah then they need to wait for it and not to be allowed to uni/college hop like they do girlfriends. Have three/four universities on your playing resume is cringe.
Your team beat my team by three without our top scorer, in which we think Missouri wouls have won our game at least a much better chance anyway, I believe if Illinois were in the SEC this year, you would lose at least 6 games or more, it is an absolute BEAR this year, 6 or more of our games are against ranked teams, in fact 13 SEC teams have been ranked this year, there are no easy wins in this league. When is the Big 10 going to ever win another BB natty? The SEC has won three since 2000, the last year the B1G last won won. Good luck the rest of the way. Miz!

Folks, Bam shouldn't be starting. That was BRUTAL. Look at his stats he's second in TO, 2nd to last in 3pt% and FG.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
The two stats that define what I saw tonight:
Turnovers
Maryland 7
Illinois 16
FG:
Maryland 36-72
Illinois 23-61

KJ is to indecisive at time
I am sick of Boswell throwing the ball away, it's not just the last two games, it's been all year. I'd rather see Dre out there.
Time to reevaluate this team a little bit might be a .500 team in conference
PROFOUNDLY DISAPPOINTING TEAM, THEY ARE GETTING WORSE NOT BETTER!!!
I dont know why the program doesnt enhance things over the off season

Maybe a few other guys were playing sick. They just seemed off.
If Tommy's sick, why dafuq is he on the bench ? Isn't that shit contagious ?
Seriously he's part of a team
That was really embarrassing. So much for a ranking. When does spring start?
THAT. WAS. HORRIBLE. Zero lottery pick caliber play tonight.
as bad as KJ played, still had 20/7/6
This team will go nowhere. PATHETIC
Ship is sinking .
Here we go all the couch coaches telling a guy who has over a .650 winning percentage whole making 4 million to coach how to do his job.
What does money got to do with it?
This was a joke.. Brad is not a very good coach., certainly not coach of the year

he is way overpaid. i would not pay him more than a million - and that too for his recruiting skills. As an Xs and Os coach - he is awful
@@ColieeeCole Why is my comment erased.
Yall suck either you love them or not . I love my Illini and Brad
Yuck
Heres rhe rhing we were getting to the Free throw line in mom league play and we played a rough out of conference schedule why are we not getting to the charity stripe in league play????
they didnt hit any threes Brad.. I blame YOU.
frauds
state in for an awakening though.. totally got it coming to you

L. Keep blaming the refs from the MSU game, Brad. 😢😂😂
