They had a long debate on that over at Illinois Loyalty, @Norm Peterson

Apparently it's all Underwood's fault Palmer hit a highly contested 3 pointer at the end and is just another example of being "outcoached".  It really is a shame that more coaches aren't better at making the opposition miss shots....  /s

I watched it live.  We inbounded off Illinois' make with about 8 seconds left, down two, and Watson drove up the court, found Palmer at around the 3-point line on the left wing and Palmer took a dribble step around his defender toward the hoop, elevated, hung in the air for a half second and buried a trey for us to win by one.  It was awesome.

 

I remember it was a fun celebration. Let's do that more often. Well, let's skip the late four-pointer by the opposition. Let's win some B1G games, Big Red !!

On the plus side, the State of Illinois is the most corrupt and insolvent state government in the country, so there's that...

Levels of incompetence rarely found in a state that large, I'm referring to the sports, by the way.

I assume you mean "on the plus side" the way Ashley Graham is on the plus side.

Rock Bottom??

 

Of the three new B1G coaches this year, I wouldn't have expected Underwood to be the one struggling the most right out of the chute.

He had the least experience and talent and most dramatic style shift.

Sure, and some recruiting whiffs in the offseason that really hurt a lot.  But they're doing much worse than I expected.

Creighton still trying to figure out their offense without Kramplj, and St. John's is 0-8 in conference and due for a win. I like the Johnnies tonight at home.

Watching the end of KU/OU and Krueger fouling Azubuike even when he doesn't have the ball. He is currently 1-7 from the ft line.

That literally won them the game.

It's a valid strategy.  But the main reason (IMO) that KU lost is that Svi missed the corner 3 in the last minute against OU that he hit against us.  Normally he's automatic in that scenario.  Seems like he's won the game for KU more than a few times hitting that shot.

Do we want them to win? Or do we just count them out for now and hope Indiana looks like a better team coming into Lincoln?

[Cowboy Kermit]

Brad "Orange Sport Coat" Underwood and his Fighting Illini neck and neck with Hoosiers 51-51 with around 12 minutes to play.

Fair enough.

 

Also watching this game makes me not want to go play at Illinois. Right now it looks like a tough place to play

[Dead Dog Alley]

Indiana's next three games are Purdue, @ Ohio State, Michigan State.  Stick a fork in their bubble, it's done.
