Illinois chokes away another late lead in a 90-89 loss at Penn State as the same issues (bad defense, awful inbounds plays, lack of adjustments) come home to roost in brutal fashion. Mike Carpenter and Isaac Ambrose react as a 7-point lead with 40 seconds to go evaporates thanks to absolute boneheaded decision-making and execution from veteran players. But, they direct their ire at the main culprit: Brad Underwood, who has excelled at the macro aspects of running a program but struggled mightily with in-game strategy.
Illinois drops a tough road game at Tennessee 86-79. Mike Carpenter and Brian Hanson react during the second half, which started strong for the Illini before Dalton Kinecht helped the Volunteers take a lead they would never relinquish. Now 7-2, Brad Underwood's team gets a week off before Colgate at home and Braggin' Rights vs. Missouri.
Illinois falls to Arkansas in 73-63 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Mike Carpenter reacts during a frustrating 2nd half, which saw a few mini-runs keyed by RJ Melendez and Terrence Shannon, but also saw sloppy play from Hawkins and a benching of Matthew Mayer. For a team that regressed as the season went on, it was an all-too-fitting end.
