Yeah, I genuinely like Weber, but it's hard to watch sometimes. The current team should be elite. They seemingly have it all........ size, strength, quickness, shooters, athletes. And yet they can't seem to put it all together. If Weber can't mold a top 10 team out of the current roster, I'm not sure he's the guy for the job going forward.
He's not, his teams have been awful since Deron Williams left Champaign. It's time to move on to the next coach.

The team needs a shrink.

I am willing to give Bruce another year. Next year, no senior class. Three full classes of good recruiting.

I do not agree that this team necessarily has top 10 talent. Some days it does, some days it doesn't. I'm not an apologist, but the things that McCamey, Tisdale, and Davis lack, they are things that Weber cannot teach or give those guys.

The #1 thing Weber needs to do is play the younger players more.

lol. Is the same game just replayed over, and over? These seniors suck...can't leave soon enough. Hey, Mike Davis, you might want to put a hand up against a shooter on a last second 3-point heave.

I've been a loyal Illini fan since the early 80's (watched every game) and I hate this damn team more than any of the previous 30. High expectations, lazy effort, and a predictable pattern to every game has me frustrated like no other time. They have a serious lack of heart and poise.

I think Michigan State beating Purdue just knocked Illinois out of the tournament.
