Can’t really blame kofi because he only been playing basketball since high school so his basketball IQ isn’t that high that’s on coach UnderwoodLoyola really exposed their gameplan on both sides of the floor. The ball screen with Kofi was useless all game. It was clogging everything up for the guards and resulted in Kofi's man forcing turnovers because Illinois clearly was just running that action just to run it. There was no secondary action and Kofi wasn't even screening anyone to begin with.
Then on defense, that elbow dribble hand-off action Loyola ran was so basic but so effective because Kofi wasn't moving to help off his man, and he wasn't stopping his man either.
That was an awful display of coaching right there
My whole timeline salty af, hell of UofI grads pissed right now.
They should hire buddy from Loyola to coach after that embarrassment

We have the 2nd ranked defense and 9th in pace. All of the other top defense teams play a really slow pace. Iowa plays a slow pace and still 60th in defense
That “Power 5” shyt clearly doesn’t work in college basketball anymore, and they probably need to reevaluate how they weigh “lower conferences.”
The NCAA stays being outdated on this type of shyt though.
still the fact of the matter is you are a team pegged to go to the final round. you should be able to beat or at least compete respectably with any team in front of you, including Gonzaga.
they didnt even look respectable vs L-IL

DePaul was good in the 90s tooDePaul and Miami football got the same problem both want to be seen as Ivy League schoos but the hood niqqas in there community got them good in basketball and football can’t speak for Miami but once DePaul let hood niqqas back the program will be good again
It's not about letting hood nikkas in the program. Depaul is minutes away from the neighborhoods they're trying to get out of. Champaign and Chicago are two hours away. It's not far, but it's enough.
well said breh
in my opinion the amount of in conference games should be lowered. a team should only be able to schedule 10-12 in conference matchups...enough where they play their whole conference twice. Give the smaller schools enough of an opportunity to play better competition.

The one team ranked ahead of us on defense is the team that just beat Illinois but they are 342nd in pace lol

I give yall a hard time but its cause i really like yall squad. If yall can be disciplined, keep Petty tamed and hit yall shots Gonzaga can get it from both yall and FSU
Nobody is safe right now period.

Gonzaga needs to come through at least once before I start to believe in them
every year it is the same story:
some good ooc wins early in the season, beating up on Pepperdine and Santa Clara the next 3 months, only to loose in the Elite Eight again
