The Illini do nothing well under this staff. Nothing.

Underwood is the worst coach in my lifetime and that says a lot considering the last two.

Frazier needs to take over PG. Keys were taken away from him last year and he hasn’t been the same since. Ayo and Feliz drive a lot and shoot. I would think if Ayo was wanting to get drafted as a PG he would understand a PG stat that is important is assists. That’s not really his game. I’m not sure this team has the grit to win consistently. They got punched in the gut by an inferior team and never matched the intensity.

Groce was way worse. While Weber could coach defense, he is responsible for Illinois basketball going in the shitter.

Agreed. I never would have guessed that Underwood would end up worse than Groce but he is well on his way.

Groce was handed Paul, Richardson and Egwu. Groce didn’t have the courtesy to hand Underwood near the same.

Losing to Mizzou is pretty much a total disaster for Underwood.
I don't think it was a disaster...yet. Have you looked around at how bad college basketball is? Underwood didn't effectively change OK St until January. It remains to be seen who on the Illini is mentally and physically willing to take on the Jawun Evans role. That said, how they lost to Miznoz as pathetic. Underwood claimed "it was just another jersey" and that's how they prepared for the game. While the two programs have been down and there isn't much zip in the rivalry game, it's the Bragging Rights game, FFS. It would be like the Bears hiring a coach who doesn't understand the Bears have to beat Green Bay. That team played completely uninspired. The only 2 Illinois players who looked like they wanted to be on the court were Williams and Griffin, when he finally decided he had nothiong to lose by playing Griffin significant minutes.

Losing to that Mizzou team was /is a disaster.
47 KenPom right now. If they play like they did against Maryland and Michigan in the upcoming games, they could go 5-1 in the next 6 games.

2 years in a row losing to Clownzo Martin. When a fan mentioned that to Underwood after the game, Wood had to be restrained from going after the fan in the stands.

The guy is a total embarrassment. Another in a long line of shitty basketball hires.

Lol 5-1? Are you on crack?

They aren't beating MSU or Wisconsin on the road. And they will absolutely have their hands full with home games against Purdue and Rutgers. Rutgers is no slouch this year.

If they escape that stretch at 3-2, you should count your blessings.

Wisconsin ain’t Wisconsin this year.
