Team NOT DELIVERING!!!

This is coaches fault. He needs to have his team READY TO PLAY.

Especially for 3 million per year!!!

He gets a ten year pass...seriously. We had our NCAA appearance - something we NEVER had before. Everything else can be forgiven - we don't care anymore; thank you for the memories. I am not kidding nor being sarcastic - we did it. Relax.

How much blame do the players get? Sorry, but this isn’t only on the coach. I see one guy playing hard. Who can we put in, the bench is paper thin?

PPD: Respectfully, the gentleman making the money bears the responsibility. Not the unpaid students. (And, I like Coach Collins a lot.)

I'm not blaming the staff. There is something mentally wrong with this group. Scottie lack of D when turning the ball over is one to highlight. It's inexcusable.

Holy hell are we horrendous. I wish we could just cancel the rest of the season today. I hate seeing these kids go out like this.

I think CCC deserves his fair share of blame. I have no idea why Brown didn’t get a chance when there are players floating around the court.

Having said that, I didn’t see our leadership attempt anything to stem the tide for the runs. Hard foul, ever? Take to the basket, rarely. No idea what is going on inside the room, but something is way off. To the outside eye, I see little fight when things get rough. Exact opposite of last year. Even if horribly coached, I would expect players around the program 4 years to get s little pissed off every now and then when you suffer 4-5 embarrassing losses. These aren’t cliffhangers that we are catching a bad break or two.

That behind the scenes look at last season that is coming up on BTN should be interesting.

It ought to have a behind the scenes companion piece from this season. I'd bet it would really be illuminating.

Overreact much? Be happy you're not an Illini fan...

For someone who hates Illinois, you have a curious obsession with Illinois. You find ways to bring them up even when there’s pretty much no way the conversation can turn towards the Illini. Just an observation.

There are a couple of guys who look like they don't want to play on this team and maybe they shouldn't.

Though it was on point; the point was that there are teams far worse than us, that are not cancelling their seasons. Would you have preferred I use a different example? They are be the best one from our conference...

Illinois sucking doesn’t make me feel any better about our team.

As I guy who dislikes the Fighting Undies as much as the next guy, with the exception of the last game, they have showed some feistiness.

Agreed; don't believe they will go 0-for the BIG or anything like that. Just can't blow a 20-pt lead at home to the other winless team in the BIG, though. Just can't. And that was a loss, that coaching had a lot to do with.

I was actually pretty calm when I posted this one. Its the next day and I still think we are horrendous and its a shame these kids are going out like this. I really don't want to see anymore. I'd rather keep my great memories from last year untarnished.
