4/5 seed is usually a toss up---Excpet well, that day.
Woodson has been a CBB head coach for 1 FULL YEAR, dipshit....
Underwood has been a HC for 10, including 5(full) at Illinois...
Are you really comparing career numbers?

@IUfanBorden no, those teams were beyond horrible. Why would I want to go get blown out when we didn’t deserve to make it?
The roster Groce left was atrocious

5 seeds beating 4 seeds aren’t really upsets in the context you want it to be.
Surprisingly over the last 2 years, Illinois is the ONLY team in the conference who’s made the tourney both years that hasn’t lost to a double digit seed.
That’s how embarrassing our conference is with upsets recently
C'mon,now.....I know IU got smoked today, but JFC----lets don't go all crazy over ONE game. I mean bench was bad today, yeah----But that's far from the norm.
Renau is averaging 10ppg off the bench...
Bates 7.7
Geronimo 6.7
Galloway 5.8
All get 14+ minutes.
Shooting today was, yuck---excpet for Kopp. MOF last two it has been awful----But still at a decent 36%. Need another shooter for sure though.
Missing JHS today was big....
I understand the 4/5 concept....And I never said it was an upset. I just said for two straight years, Illinois lost as a higher seed. Never said it was an upset----I know that it's not.
All those stats are based off your weak ass schedule. Anyone can average 10ppg against Jackson St and UALR. Major conference games your bench struggles.
So you are saying, naaaah----I'll pass on an NCAAT invite?
Gotcha.
IU was blown out---But was a tired team. But, shouldn't have put themselves in that situation. I think in a traditional 12/5 match-up,the game is much,much more competitive. IU was good for about 9 minutes----then you could see the sails come off.
BTW,you are probably the ONLY fan that I know that would say "no" to an NCAAT invite.
So we’ve been upset once under Underwood.
A one game sample size isn’t something we should take away big generalizations from right? Like a 29 point loss one time in the first round?
An invite those years would’ve been out of pity. Why would I want a pity invite?
If we earn it, we earn it. If not, get better in the off-season and do better next year.
Reneau had 12/7 as a freshman @ Xavier....Did not play much vs UNC---fouls.
Galloway had 12 vs North Carolina....
Just not a huge sample size.......But even after today, I like what our bench provides.
Its one game.....This should be fun to revist.
Not sure if you know this, or not----but the tournament expanded to 68 teams....If you are one of the 68----it means either you got an at-large bid----Or was invited. Sort of how the tourney works. They did this in 1985 as well-----expanded to 64......
Just didn't know if you knew this or not.
Galloway was a lot to handle that game, feel like he’s more so in the action vs Bates when he’s in
Kid just gets stuff done
We weren’t able to get an invite with 68 teams… what does that say about the level of talent those years?
He's been a HC for 10 years, brother. He has 3 NCAAT wins. He gets a 1-seed, and gets blasted. He gets a 4-seed, and gets blasted.
Upset, once? Sure. I mean if that's what you need to feel better. At the end of the day, SEED wise, he has failed both times----and miserably.
I find it ironic you say----one game sample size isn't something..................
Then compare a coach with 43 games under his bealt as a HC to a dude with about 400+. I mean, yikes..
He was 2021-22 Galloway today. Whole team was, outside of Kopp. Not dsure if missing JHS rattled them or what...Dunno. Whats sickening is IU fought back from 9 down, took the lead, and just collapsed. I expected this team to be much tougher mentally. Much. BUt hey, its one game...So, we'll see.
Crazy stat----IU is winnless in games where Kopp scores 12 points or more.
Win or lose, kudo's to Purdue....
Now, I am gonna brush my throat with bleach...
Now, I am gonna brush my throat with bleach...
THinkI would have went for it there.....Still a 2 possession game. Of course, now ya just need a TD/FG....
Is he trying the death by a dozen field goals strategy?
Especially with his play calling. I mean you ain't gonna beat Michigan with FG's----unless you somehow kick 3 more, and force OT.🤣
That’s a really odd stat, not sure what to make of it😂
Rutgers isn’t an easy place to play currently for Illinois either, can’t remember the last time we won there.
Just gotta hope you are better when JHS is back, gonna need him for Kansas/Zona
Pretty proud of the effort by our boys against a clearly more talent team.
Still beats the fvck out of the Danny hope and Darrell Hazell days, I’ll eat this loss with pride gentlemen. Despite the kicking a fg to go from a 2 possession game to a 2 possession game, Brohm should be executed for that.
If not executed for the FG-----certainly for running the ball 5 straight times, down 17....Especially with a dude like Jones.
Wow.
With that being said----really good showing.I honestly thought Michigan would run and hide in this one.
JJ McCarthy, Donovan Edwards, Will Johnson among returning players next year.
My gifs from the night. Had plenty of free time with all these damn commercials:

Rutgers is good----#30 in KenPom. If not for injuries, they could very well have been unbeaten, and ranked. Of course we had some no name,never heard of freshman torch us for 14 second half points.
With JHS out, IU needed X to be good today, and have Bates/Galloway, step up. Double-whammy: X was ugggh,and Bates/Galloway were no-shows. Couple that with Race continuing his David Copperfield act, and well......................
Losing didn't bother as much as how e layed down----Especially after fighting back, taking the lead, and the proceed to give up a 17-0 run. I mean IU LED this game with just under 12 to go-----and boom----down 15. Disappointing.
