Illini BB

[JimJohnson]

Think about the assistant coach that got demoted and is no longer with the program. That’s when recruiting started taking a hit. I will leave it at that. Another reason is Covid and players being able to stay. Illinois is getting negatively recruited against with a couple of those seniors possibly hanging out for another year.

They will find some good recruits in the Spring after a solid season and good seed in the tournament.

Some of that I agree with but not sure about the Jamall Walker thing. He wasn't really holding his weight as far as I can remember. The top players that we've gotten Ayo and Miller (Chin's guys) and Kofi and Curbelo (Antigua's guys) really didn't have much to do with Walker.

You need to ask yourself why Walker was demoted at an awkward time and Gentry was hired as a game/off-campus coach. Do you think Underwood did that of his own volition? If you do, I have some farm land in downtown Chicago I’ll sell you.

So what exactly is Gentry's role? To block getting top recruits?

Don't know if serious
**** Mizzou

 

[JimJohnson]

Losing to Mizzou at the half? Yikes, that's bad.

 

[bamainatlanta]

Who gets outcoached more? Nagy or Underwood?

 

[bamainatlanta]

If I were Mizzou, I would foul the Illini every possession. This FT shooting is Shaq-esque

 

[bamainatlanta]

Lol. What a ***** call. Regardless, poor FT shooting and some atrocious decisions by Ayo, who played brilliantly, in the last few minutes. Team just doesnt have basketball IQ yet.

Underwood has lost all 3 Braggin Rights games. Against Cuonzo Martin. Are you fucking kidding me? What a fucking joke!

 

[TL1961]

The flagrant foul call on Kofi at the end of the game was absolutely positively ridiculous.

The whole game with the foul calls as ridiculously close as they were made the game into a free-throw shooting contest and Illinois sucks at that.

There was not a foul disparity in one teams favor necessarily, but the fact that it became nothing but free throws really sucked.

Illinois can’t expect to have the type of year they hope to if they can’t make free throws and clean up the turnovers.

Death by a thousand paper cuts tonight.
Ayo was just simply mentally and physically tired

I'm tired of fucking losing to Mizzou. Tired of it

[Urblock]

Good game

 

[dweebs19]

Kofi came to play today.

 

[JimJohnson]

what a disappointing season so far. Definitely were overrated.

 

[dweebs19]

refs were trash, but the Illini are also disappointing
