Listen "Pain & Gainey (12/15/24)"
Episode Synopsis
Illinois loses a heartbreaker at the buzzer to #1 Tennessee on a Jordan Gainey layup, 66-64. Mike Carpenter recaps the loss which came in front of a raucous State Farm Center crowd. While there were positives to take away from the Illini's performance (namely, their defense), the defeat seemed to open a can of worms about Brad Underwood. How did his personnel choices and late game decision-making impact the result? Zooming out, do his in-game adjustments (or lack thereof) lower the ceiling for this Illinois basketball team?
