Coaching is god awful. How does your best player have three shots in the 1st half?

All these guards just hoisting up prayers.

Get control of your team

[d2bets]

Nobody wants to shoot. Good passing but nobody actually wants to shoot the ball. They don't have an alpha guard.

[jjgold]

Caching very poor ncaa hoops

[stake1]

good thing there are 2 halves in NcaaB
so Underwood can make some adjustments for the last 20

[flyingillini]

Come on Illini

[Justin3587]

I hope they win. But if Cockburn doesn’t get more touches, I don’t see it.

[stake1]

sampson has zero depth. carlton with 3 now? couple others with 2? that will be a big problem for the little guy

[stake1]

who doesn't love "second half adjustments"? I sure do

[jjgold]

This is tough to watch

[stake1]

Jj: but it is great if you bet the dog. I have IL +5

[stake1]

Sampson's defense breaking down. love it!!!!

[stake1]

Reggie Miller needs to choke slam that ref. what a terrible, terrible, awful, putrid call! disgusting how bad that call was

[d2bets]

Worst technical ever. That's just unreal.

[stake1]

that is the kind of BS, despicable call where it takes every ounce for underwood, not to get ejected. was criminal

[Justin3587]

These reds need to be lined up and shot for that.

[KRIT]

Yeah Underwood has some questionable coaching. This is now two consecutive years they haven't looked good in the tourney.

[stake1]

Worst technical ever. That's just unreal.

no houston player under the basket. he did not do a "chin up" on the rim. i would like to see one of those slimeball refs sprint down the court at top speed, just like that kid, slam it, with all their momentum taking them under the backboard, and just let go
that is a recipe for a major brain trauma or skull fracture. that was the worst call all year in NcaaB

Espn:

Illinois was outscored 22-11 after the technical foul against Melendez.

Underwood said after the game the official told him the foul shouldn't have been called, and the coach wondered if there was a personal motivation to calling the foul.

"[O'Connell] told me he should never have called it," Underwood said. "Maybe it's personal, I don't know. To call it like that, when a kid has a head of steam going, 100 mph? We all talk about health and safety of the student-athletes. Come on.

"And then to kill momentum like that? Horrible."

Melendez said the official didn't offer him an explanation for the technical, and Melendez said he simply waited to get his legs under him before dropping off the rim to prevent injury.

"I don't know what was the problem with that," the freshman from Puerto Rico said. "I was going full speed in that transition, so I always thinking about Paul George's injury, what happened landing on the mat, on the rim, so I just try to hang on, go a bit of rhythm, come back on both feet."

To ever make a call on something like that should be insanely obvious showing off. That was ridiculous. If in doubt, don't fukkin call that.

Illini a failed state in every way, I never met a guy or gal in that state that was not a jerkoff

Underwood is a good defensive coach, he can't coach offense though.
