How many NCAA tournaments has he made? What has Underwood done to make you think he is untouchable and other coaches shouldn't be looked at?

It's the Illini.

The Illini are going to win tonight.

1. The program was in essentially the same spot when Henson took over. It took him about 5 years to get it going.
2. Have you seen the buyout of his contract? He isn’t going anywhere after this year, unless by his own choice. He signed the contract. That’s what he’s done.
3. Barring a total collapse, Illinois is in the post-season this year. That’s progress.
4. Bringing in 2 Top 40 ranked players and Hawkins (inside 150 now), along with 2 transfers and a redshirt, the team has more shooting and more options next year. Whitman is smart enough to keep that going.

I agree that Underwood isn't going anywhere. But the thought of wanting Beilein isn't absurd. Underwood can't even hold Beilein's jock.

Recruiting arrow appears to be pointed up. Even with that, if you told me I could have Beilein and risk losing a few recruits, I'd do it.

As for the tournament, let's revisit after the season. If he makes it, I will give Underwood credit. If he fails, I sure hope people aren't going to make excuses for him because I'm over that shit.

If they don't cruise into the tournament next season, I will join your with a pitch fork. This year you can finally see the potential. And yes, it's nutty for someone to keep throwing out names of coaches to go get, when Underwood isn't going anywhere.

Nichols can’t play basketball on the offensive side of the ball.

Another win slipping away because Underwood has been out coached here. Just can’t get a shot off and he has no idea how to fix it.

 

[JayCutlersNeckTwitch]

$3,000,000 a year to have 5 or 6 near shot clock violations in the span of like 8 possessions lol

 

[TL1961]

I don’t like violations.
Near violations? No such worries.

Well they couldn’t get a shot. Now Ayo has taken over. That’s pretty much their offense.

Watching all access on FS1... man does Pat Chambers whine a lot.

 

[JayCutlersNeckTwitch]

draining the clock down to 3 on the shot clock and throwing up an air ball or near air ball isn’t a very good offense

 

[JayCutlersNeckTwitch]

Big win. Probably locks in an at large bid barring a complete collapse.

Ayo is NBA ready.

 

[JimJohnson]

Massive win! I feel much better about the tournament now.

 

[Parade_Rain]

Fire Underwood!

 

[JayCutlersNeckTwitch]

Fire Underwood!

Lol. In all seriousness, i wonder how good this team would be if they had a real #4.

This team will do well in the tournaments if Underwood has a quick hook with Giorgi when he’s struggling.

Also means if Kofi gets in foul trouble besides just the first half they are doomed

 

[JimJohnson]

Fire Underwood!

Lol nobody said that

 

[Parade_Rain]

Lol nobody said that

Illinois should hire Bruce Pearl (gag me). Illinois should hire Beilein. Facts! Lots more the past few seasons and likely after the Miami home loss and the inexplicable Mizzou loss.

We will find out next season.

If there were fire wood chants after the Mizzou game, they were deserved. Wood almost attacked a fan after that game too.

No they weren't deserved. Only people live and die by every shot, every pitch and every hike in games think shit like that.

Good win at PennSt
