You’ll be turning around and headed back to Illinois about the same time you arrive so…
And you’ll already be at home, with your semi-trailer full of untouched nuts.
Glad to be apart of what kept you there
Seriously, think I’ve seen Hawkins block 6 or 7 shots this year that have been called goaltending when they are clean blocks.
Really shitty
The last time Illinois made it past the first weekend of the tournament, George W Bush was still in office. Pipe down.
Illinois wouldn’t have even been in the game without all the soft ass foul calls. Free throws were 24 to 34. That is what ultimately determined that game
Why do you focus so much on the past?
Is it because your short term future is becoming so bleak? TIA
Yeah yeah get back to me when your program makes it past the first weekend in the modern era.
Juwan “Born on 3rd” Howard is Bruce Weber-ing your program.
Enjoy the death of a 1,000 cuts and the NIT, big guy.
Has happened to Purdue once in each IU game. A clear block that was called a goaltend. I get that it's a hard job, but the B1G officials seem to be wrong more often than they're right.
Even more aggravating is that goaltending is such an easy one to review, too.
The refs on the floor don’t even need to be the ones going to the monitor. Just throw a mic in their ear and have someone give them the correct call.
As mediocre as Juwan has been, he still has has been more successful as a head coach than Underwood. 🤷♂️
The iPhone hadn’t even been invented the last time your program made a sweet 16. This year will be no different.
Rough for Wisconsin, they've played 2 top teams down to the wire but couldn't close it out due to poor offensive execution (Kansas and Purdue).
More successful (in the tourney, only) due to the players he was left by Beilien.
Just like Gard and Holtmann did with Ryan and Matta holdovers. Unfortunately, it just isn’t that impressive. And it certainly doesn’t last.
On a positive note, at least Juwan gets a head start to recruiting players to put around little Dickinson.
I mean, basketball is maybe the third most important sport in Ann Arbor. Even if the basketball program falls off, no one will notice because football and hockey will still be nationally relevant. Have fun being mid in every sport as you always have been. 😉
There is no if here, buddy.
It’s happening right in front of your eyes. You just gotta open them
Illinois has been mid ever since Self left you for a bigger and better program.
Apparently a mid team has the best win percentage in the conference for the last 4 years.
What’s that say about your team if you are below them?
We literally made the National Championship two years after he left. 😂 And as if Michigan wouldn’t have lost Self to KU? Please, kid.
That was the last time you made it past the first weekend. Michigan is one of the top 3 wealthiest athletic departments in the country, we would’ve actually been able to pay him.
That’s nice. Get back to me when you’re able to at least make a sweet 16 or win an outright conference championship.
Lol, we have the money to keep whomever we want. Self left because KU was his dream job and one of the elite jobs in the nation, and he’d have bolted Michigan at least as fast.
You keep bringing up this long drought, but you’re really just saying that John Groce was terrible and that Underwood hasn’t made the Sweet Sixteen in his only two tries. Great insightfulness, lmao.
I look forward to watching you get bounced in the second round again. When Illinois is nationally relevant in any sport that exists you guys can come and talk.
Not giving respect to opponents who routinely beat you or insinuating winning your conference or getting a #1 seed doesn’t make you relevant just makes you sound salty and dumb. And this back-and-forth is way past dumb at this point.
Good game, maybe next year. 🍻
Even with the best team he has ever had and will ever have, Underwood got out coached by whoever the coach at Loyola was at the time. Seems doubtful he’ll ever do anything more than simply show up for the first weekend then get bounced.
We’d win by double digits in Ann Arbor or a neutral court
You prolly stop watching the tournament after the round of 32
Tackle basketball is killing all of of us once we get to tournament time.
Still can’t believe that Joey baker shot off such a beautiful inbounds play 😂
Saddest part is that the open one at the end of OT where he also had Jett wide open was even worse tho lol.

I guess Duke fans were correct when they told us he was absolute trash last off-season
