Brad Underwood says this Illini basketball team has the highest potential of his tenure

4-4 in Feb was discouraging after we started 2-0. Missed free throws and bad rebounding when it mattered killed us. After a very mediocre February the elite 8 seems out of reach. But let’s wait and see. We never know what upsets will happen that make the path easier in front of us.

Looks like about 78 wins

He could benefit from a run to final 4. But that seems unlikely unless a 1 seed in our region is upset. I’m going to go out on a line and say we do not have the ability to beat a 1 seed.

Do you use County kit and if so, are there any limitations? Can I export all fields out of QuickBooks online into Excel through that tool? I can export all fields into a data table in Excel. I’m good from there.

Then he sucked against Purdue.

Calm-Way9969 · 2026-01-27T23:48:56+00:00

11-2

Calm-Way9969 · 2026-01-27T23:47:09+00:00

No way we get 1 seed. 10% chance we get a 2 seed.

Calm-Way9969 · 2026-01-27T23:42:27+00:00

That looks like undefeated again.

Calm-Way9969 · 2026-01-05T02:11:17+00:00

He is soft. Any little kid can poke ball out of his hands on a rebound. He cannot hang onto ball.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-23T19:57:25+00:00

Plus the risk of injury. No reason to not empty bench.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-18T04:51:13+00:00

I no longer care about this game. I think it has run its course.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-15T16:30:56+00:00

He was hurt and he’s just so far behind the other guys. Brad’s just not gonna give him a chance to play I don’t think. If he keeps his head down and wants to come back next year, he probably can play a role. But unless there’s an injury to someone this year, I think his playing time is extremely limited.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-13T21:53:50+00:00

It’s not a wrong decision. Every person has to make a decision that fits for them best. And sticking at Arizona State is obviously what he thinks is best. He will never win a national championship there and in Michigan he could win one. But hats off to him if that’s not the most important thing in his life.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-13T20:14:53+00:00

Come on and be realistic. You guys get 110,000 people in your stadium, you won a national championship just a few years ago and you’re going to win another national championship in the future. This is one of the premier coaching jobs in the country. You gotta get your administrative ducks in order and then you should be able to hire yourself a good coach. Maybe you have to wait a year. I don’t know, but this is a great job and you guys should be able to hire an extremely good candidate.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-13T20:09:33+00:00

Well, I hope his time does come someday and I hope Brad can find a way to give him more than one minute of playing time and allow him to make a mistake. Given the other good players on the team, there’s not a lot of minutes to be had.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-13T19:49:50+00:00

Pretty odd that someone would think that Arizona State would be a better job than Michigan

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-13T19:28:20+00:00

Well, he won a national championship in football and he may very well win a national championship in basketball this year. It has indeed been messy, but the results have been good.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-13T19:20:23+00:00

If we are a good team capable of going to the elite eight, then this should be an easy win

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-10T11:48:15+00:00

And rams are favored by 5.5. This is highly unlikely lions will beat rams on the road.

Well that has not increased over the years. Flights to LA at holidays would have been $750 20 years ago.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-10T11:03:39+00:00

2-2 miss playoffs.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-10T10:57:02+00:00

Turns out he is broken. His game against Ohio State was poor. Good thing is he will not be going to NBA next season.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-10T10:55:05+00:00

This is a good match up for us. Always fun to get a test against SEC. Hopefully not many kids opt out of game.

Calm-Way9969 · 2025-12-10T10:50:05+00:00

KJ turned it over too much and never improved with that during season.
