@ChiefBigG @JWerner247 *effecient offense until they start getting mugged* Fixed it for you!

@JWerner247 Efficient offense until they get sped up and out toughed.

VCU has its first lead 28-26. They've outscored Illinois 20-6 over the last eight minutes.

@JWerner247 NCAA has to get a cinderella into the sweet 16 Touch fouls being called on Illinois, VCU being allowed to play football

Turnovers only thing slowing down the #illini right now. They have four, and VCU has four points off those turns.

@itsAntWright Refs just missed TKRs 3rd

Refs just screwed Purdue.. call the first foul on Benter and that play doesn’t happen

@FindAuthentic @justinprofancik @Slimelifeeee Yeah, you might just be stupid.

@Corso02 @justinprofancik @Slimelifeeee Only one 15 pt deficit mattered and it's the one that free disparity came into play.

So out on Brad. Talks a big game every year then gets embarrassed, he's not willing to do what it takes to win a national championship, claims to run a program built on toughness but his teams aren't tough. And How many times will he watch a game slip away right in front of him?

@FindAuthentic @justinprofancik @Slimelifeeee Officials didn’t blow to seperate 15 point leads. You can’t really be this dumb, right?

@justinprofancik @Slimelifeeee I watched yesterday's game. Wasn't officiated fairly. At some point you gotta be a realist lol refs play a part in basketball games, it happens all the time. If you can't admit that you're probably believer in Santa Claus. Must be a fun life

@ChiSportsTweetr So happy brads won all these regular season games that dont translate to winning in the big dance. lets keep him. what a great idea.

@Corso02 Again, not what I said. You can keep putting words in my mouth. But in the end, it’s tough canning a guy who has won all these games, but we’re at the point where struggling when games mean the most is trending.

Brad Underwood has been awesome for this program. Brad Underwood routinely gets out-coached in close games. Both those things can be true.

@ChiSportsTweetr Glad your standard is just making the tournament🔥🔥

@Corso02 There are 80+ power basketball teams. Most haven’t been to the tournament as often as Illinois has in the last decade.

@ChiSportsTweetr Illinois has 1. there have been 8 tournaments since hes been here. Im going to guess most teams have more than 1.

@Corso02 Meaning in the last five years? That’s just not true that most teams have more than Illinois.

@ChiSportsTweetr most teams also have more second weekends than Illinois has.

@Corso02 What we had w/ Bruce and Groce for a decade was less than mediocrity. What we have now is slightly better, if you look at it from a peer review perspective. Most teams don’t have what Illinois has had the last half decade. But I’ll agree it may be time to think about change.

@ChiSportsTweetr again, you can just enjoy mediocrity.

@Corso02 Title game yes. And it rapidly declined into embarrassing from there. It was really bad those last several years. Really bad.

@ChiSportsTweetr Also, Bruce Webber made a title game. A TITLE game. And we happy with this loser who can’t get out of the first weekend.

@Corso02 Not what I’ve said, but whatever

@ChiSportsTweetr yeah so lets just keep going with the guy who can’t win in march🔥 “BuT hE wInS sO mUcH iN tHe ReGuLaR sEaSoN”🥴

@Corso02 Not talking about Brad anymore. Just saying that bringing in someone new doesn’t automatically mean more success. History has shown us this job isn’t foolproof.

@ChiSportsTweetr Brad underwood has as many sweet 16s as ucla has final 4s.

@Corso02 And then what happened?

@ChiSportsTweetr UCLA has made a final 4 more recently than Brad Underwood

@Corso02 No, but they got two hires in a row wrong. And you look around and see it everywhere. Iowa has struggled to find that guy. Maryland is a train wreck. Minnesota can’t get it right. UCLA is stagnant. We can go on here…

@ChiSportsTweetr Are they going to hire one of those dudes back?

@Corso02 The not too distant memories of Bruce and Groce haunt me.

@ChiSportsTweetr Then you defended him because “maybe the next guy will be worse” Id rather take my chance than watch underwood consistently choke

@Corso02 Let’s not forget this whole conversation started with me proclaiming that Underwood routinely gets out-coached in close games.

@ChiSportsTweetr Illinois will be a good program with Undershit. Never an elite one.

@Corso02 Can’t help it. My Illinois journalism degree engrained it in my head.

@ChiSportsTweetr Sick grammar correction dude. You’re as dumb as underwood.

@Corso02 Couldn’t* care less … but yes, as I mentioned, Whitman has to ask himself if that crossroads is now. Glad I don’t have to make that decision.

@ChiSportsTweetr I could care less about the amount of games hes won. Its led to ONE second weekend in 9 seasons. He crumbles in March more than any coach Ive ever seen. Its pathetic.

@Corso02 That’s a dangerous line to walk. There comes a point when enough is enough, yes, but is that point now? Not sure. He’s still won a ton of games.
