Exactly what Coach K did. Exactly what Calipari did. Omg, Underwood might be a HOFer, or only a moron draws these types of conclusions.
What conclusions? I'm just pointing out Illinois fans propping up someone who has merely not sucked as bad as John Groce.
Yeah, you’re underplaying the rebuild from a bottom 5 team to arguably the top team in conference right now. Crean couldn’t hold onto it, and it’s completely irrelevant to Underwood.
Schefter deleted his tweet because he came across as an ass. Heres another one.
Yea his tweet was in poor taste. Not shocking, the guy is a cuck.
Illinois is doing all this with a poor man’s Tom Crean.
Damn we must be the best program in the conference
Underwood has the same amount of Big Ten Titles Turge did, but one less sweet 16 
So does TJD come back for his 4th one-and-done season?
Hopefully we don’t get matched up against another kenpom top 10 team in the second round.
Committee has done us no favors
When you earn a top 4 seed do you expect to play the #2 team on Kenpom in the second round?
You’re right that didn’t play a part in not making the second weekend at all
What difference does their Kenpom ranking matter though?
Shows they were way under seeded.
29- 5 coming off a Final four, and that’s a 5 seed…
May have been under seeded, but Illinois was coming into the tourney with mojo, a 1 seed, plus one of the three favorites to win it all- hopefully Underwood can make the sweet 16 this year and tie Turge 😎
I’m not ignoring anything. I’m wondering why you’re acting like the Kenpom ranking meant they were better than other teams.
Sorry bud, I don’t care about Turgeon or Maryland.
We won’t be hearing about you for some time… unless NIT or CBI coverage because a big thing in the coming years
It’s a predictive model which can show which teams were underseeded.
Weren’t you the one siting Kenpom as the end all be all just last year?
And we haven't heard Illinois in the sweet 16, since what, 2005?? Plus, doesn't MD have a winning record vs Illinois since Underwood took over? Reason I brought that point up is since some Illinois fans like to bring up Howard has no wins vs Illinois yet..
Rooting for you guys next year to make it to sweet 16 , you deserve NCAA tourney success finally again!
And for the record, to admit I'm not a total homer, last season was a total sh&t show- hoping to see some improvement this upcoming year, which shouldn't be too difficult! NIT here we come!!
You weren’t even here last year. An Illinois fan insisted that it isn’t a measure of how good a team is. So why are you using that as an excuse for losing to them?

I think he said he was 9 years old the last time Illinois made a Sweet 16.
