- Illini Inquirer's Derek Piper and Jeremy Werner react to Illinois basketball's 80-74 loss at Nebraska. The guys discuss shooting and turnover issues, the end-of-game situation, bright spots from the bench and whether Brad Underwood needs to push some different buttons. The guys then look ahead to Sunday's game against Ohio State.
My wife and I both were in disbelief when Underwood put in Brickhaus in for Dre at the end of the game.
Strange move.
Ya dre was mad too
Brice Williams scores a career high 27 points. That’s like a dozen different players who’ve had the best game of their careers against the Underwood Illini.
Please ask Brad what is up with this obsession with Ben Brickhaus?
We're well over halfway thru season and this team just feels like shambles with lineups. There's several other things that can be mentioned obviously but subbing out DGL for Humrichous that last possession was the most egregious move of the season. No excuse. Period.
Great game by Dain tonight.
Oh.
Felt like only DGL has Illini pride. Maybe b/c he's the only one really invested. IDK. Coaching hot seat alert...
Brad and Ben were dancing together midcourt as music was ongoing with Pipes. Find someone in your life that loves you as much as Brad loves Ben.
It's tuff loving someone that is not that good for you... Problem is you love them so much you stop holding them accountable
Bottom line is we set our expectations way too high.
Guilty as charged.
We believed the hype
Ya if i hear elite one more time 😡
This one is on you Brad for not reacting to the situation in front of you. Sad
We sure could use Ty right now:(
Brad keeps this up and he's practically guaranteeing Dra plays for Purdue next year
Terrible coaching performance
The audio quality of this pretty much sums up the state of the program right now.
More than likely it would have been a whole different game if Morez doesn't get two fouls in the first 4 minutes and 13 seconds. The first half would not have been such a disaster.
He has to be smarter. The second one was on a contested 13 foot turnaround jumper. Just get a hand up and if they hit that over you just tip your cap and live to fight another day.
Humrichous should volunteer to come off the bench. This is getting to be ridiculous at this point. Let's just play small ball until Ivisic comes back
Illinois is turning into a Football school....Fast.
Stepback 3's with a hand in the face are losing basketball plays.
Brad is in hot water the defense continues to suffer they can t defend players are not responding the turn overs are grade school mistakes. His Mr KJ is not a ball handler at best a catch and shoot guy good luck
I have to say that if Ben HumBrickhous (love that nickname, thanks to this comment section) was on Michigan state right now, he would be thriving. The games he has done very well, his first shots aren’t threes. Run offense, attack the hole, warm up a bit and then shoot threes on second chance opportunity or wide open looks. Brad is too lazy to teach offense so he does this crap. All on coaching at this point.
Some Nights the threes aren't falling and we continue to shoot them. Why is it so easy for us fans to see that they should change their strategy but the coaching staff refuses
I went to bed thank goodness
Im sick of the 3 hoisting and stupid tunovers.
One and done? They are at great risk of not making the tourney.
Turnovers, 3 point percentage, free throws and adjustments are all trash. This is a bad team that plays amazing once a month. This team is brads biggest failure. Paid college kids don't care enough to be consistent.
Im thinking these kids need to get paid when they start performing to a certain standard. Ur not hitting those standards u dont get paid. Lets see who steps up and makes their money
Start Dra & Riley now! Bench humrichous & white/boswell
They shoot way too many 3's even when struggling. This recipe can beat anyone or lose to anyone. 1 win maximum in tourney
This team sucks.. I came to that conclusion after that Maryland embarrassment. Boswell is awful and Humbrickhouse 🥴
Underwood it's so stubborn
It's his CONTRACT to start Ben. There's no other way to say it. Take Jac off the point because he kills momentum.
Illinois doesnt run plays. What is their offense? Iso ball, pick & roll, chuck 3's. It sucks. How about you run off the ball players screens to actually get open.
I think we have consistency- consistently AVERAGE
Kj the magnificent showcasing his talent for turnovers. No words for the way they play on both ends. Playing like grade schoolers first time touching a basketball. Brad underwood has gone soft and it shows in his soft players on the court. Terrible Terrible play and to much standing around especially Ben humrichouse. Brick boy Ben
DGL over Boz
Why did TY redshirt again? this team needs him ..
Blunderwood doing Blunderwood things. He SUCKS!!!
Not so fast...a tournament team???
I predict if Tomi comes back next year, his brother will end up at Illinois.
This squad can't shoot 3's and has NO leadership. We are not a TEAM. We are just gunners land bad ones at that. Ben is a huge disappointment.
