I think we just witnessed the biggest coaching meltdown in the last 10 years or so.

It's up there, but I have seen the same sort of thing happen too many times under Lute. He just seems to stink at coaching the endgame.

He's a great recruiter, but terrible at controlling the guys in crunch time... I think there will be some fires and broken [censored] down on 4th Ave tonight... though I feel like crawling in a hole and dying... pure and simple, that was [censored] ridiculous and worse than any nightmare I could have had about the game... HOW DO YOU SCORE 15 POINTS IN 2 MINUTES?!!

Yeah, I would have preferred an Illinois blowout. I would have preferred a game that stayed tight the whole way to the end with Illinois winning. I would have preferred an Illinois victory on a bad call. Any of these would have been easier to take than that mega-choke.

Re: I cant believe im going to say this...
 

Well, I had a small play on Arizona, and decided to do something else, rather than come back on Illinois.

Trusting my gut instinct worked.
