Seeking6 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Down 22 and erase that lead but can't inbound the ball up 2 with 4 seconds. With that said I'll hesitate saying much more. Our rebuild is a different version/different expectation but ultimately we could experience games like this until we get on solid ground. It was pretty funny though.

FKIM01 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 That was karma...ridiculous the fouling Illinois got away with in the 2nd half. Their defense was better but the officials swallowed their whistles. I wasn't sure for a second if they were going to call the game winner in OT.

milehiiu Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 January 12, 2018 update. Illinois blew a 20 point lead at home against Iowa this week. And now , after 5 conference games, is still looking for their first conference win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaHoosierFan Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 The fact that they blew a 20 point lead to an Iowa team that hadn't won a game at home has to hurt the confidence of a team searching for its identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 To be honest, I really thought Underwood was the one new coach(out of three) set up the best heading into this season. Shows what I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows what I know. You were not alone. I thought it was a good hire. And there were others on this very fan board who predicted great things for Illinois this year. Though I thought Underwood was an upgrade over Groce.... I did remind members of this great IU forum, that Bruce Weber seemed to start seasons out, like a ball of fire, only to completely flame out once conference play started. Underwood started this season out ..... undefeated. And so far is still searching for his first conference win. It's not a matter of laughing at Illinois.... but simply stating the facts.. Although I did that earlier in this thread. But that was only in reference to an epic thread the Illini fans had on their Scout board, a number of years back. In comparison, while Underwood was going undefeated, early on, after two remarkable non conference losses that Archie has suffered, Archie has managed to gather in three conference wins. With what some on this very forum, said early on, was an inferior group of talent, compared to Illinois. Still a lot of season to go. But at least IU is not still looking for their first conference win. Heck, we might lose to Illinois. The injury gods have not been kind to us. However, one thing we can hang our hat on is that Archie has crafted three conference wins, compared to Underwood's zero, as of this date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 it seems like we always play poorly there even when they are down. it's tough winning on the road. we will be playing them in a tough 4 game stretch and it will be a critical game to win for our psyche.

Seeking6 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Another last minute loss for Illinois. At this point you start to feel for the kids (never the coach, university or fans). Oh well. So many kept saying how Underwood was this great coach. His players or not. Not seeing it to this point. Coaches can look great with Jawun Evans all day.

milehiiu Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Watched the Illinois/Nebraska game. Heck of an ending. Underwood still looking for his first B1G win. Sure hope it does not come against us. Right now, Underwood is : Running for cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
