Watch it on YouTube, Brad praises Iowa and Fran to the high heavens. He is incredibly complimentary and when asked about what happened with chirping, pushing and the handshake line; his response was, that’s life in the B10, no big deal.
Underwood showed a lot of class; I’ll bet he takes those 2 assistants to taskAgreed. I liked his demeanor. Pretty transparent guy. Saying we need to hit Luka on every possession and they will do that on March 8th was surprising to hear. It wasn’t coach speak.
I have no problem with him calling out the refsConnor on what happened at the end.
He basically says there was no beef between the players, but the post game hoopla happened because the refs let Illinois slap him up without calling a foul. I don't love Connor talking about the refs in public, but I have to agree with him.
If you're a ref, call the damn foul. They were trying to foul. IMO opinion, the party with the most fault in the post-game fiasco were the referees.

Probably never. But at the same time, there are plenty of occasions where the losing coach has very little positive to say about the other team and instead focuses on how his own team came up short.how often does a coach put the opponent down and talk crap about them?
I distinctly remember Izzo saying that we needed to keep Lick!how often does a coach put the opponent down and talk crap about them?
i'm sure he'd like every team to have lickI distinctly remember Izzo saying that we needed to keep Lick!
I agree, not a fan of how Underwood coaches his teams. It was the same hack attack at OSU.Sorry not impressed with Underwood. No reason to call a time out with 4 seconds left down 7 unless you want to instigate something with the other team. Total classless, bush league move.

If there is a bang bang play, I get it.....reffing can be tough. Those fouls were obvious as shit, no excuse for that crap!

Ok but why was the Illinois assistant talking shit to Fran? He seemed pissed about something.
it sounds lame to think each conference should have its own set of rules....Please, enough with the hack attack complaints on teams like michigan state, wiscy, and now Illinois. That's what the refs are for. If you don't like physical basketball, don't follow a big ten team. Please, it just sounds lame.
I get why coaches do that though. They spend all of their time focusing on their players and what they can control. It can be hard to switch gears to praising your opponent right after a loss when all you can think about is what you need to do in practice the next few days."We didn't execute today" or "We came out flat", implying that the only reason they lost was their own effort, not the positive things done by the winning team.
Underwood knew they weren't going to win at that point. He may have just seen it as an opportunity to work on something that might matter in a future game if they're down 1-3 points with a few seconds left. I know you practice those situations at least once a week, but it's hard to replicate the intensity of a game. What went down at the end is on the refs for not officiating to the end.Sorry not impressed with Underwood.

Sorry, but I prefer hard played basketball not basketbrawl and a free throw contestPlease, enough with the hack attack complaints on teams like michigan state, wiscy, and now Illinois.

Agreed! Illini fan here. This was an outstanding game. Obviously I wish my Illini would have won but I must tip my hat to the Hawkeyes as Garza & company were top notch down the stretch. Kudos to you guys on the win.I thought he gave great answers.
I like B Underwood, he has his team playing really good BB.
That was a great game to watch, both teams got after it. It was fun
Really? That’s what he was so hot about? I saw a twitch from Conner but no elbow.If I’m Underwood I’d be PO’ed at the two assistants. If I felt something needed to be started that could paint my program in a negative light I’m going to be at the head of it. Especially after I already went through the line and had no issues.
Pretty intense game, and by extending it unnecessarily leaves the door open for chippi nonsense. Work on your inbound defense when your up by 20 against NW.Underwood knew they weren't going to win at that point.

I'm pretty sure the assistant told fran "that's bullshit" twice referring to Weiskamp dunking at the end instead of dribbling it out
