Illinois vs. UCLA Postgame Reaction (02/21/26)

from The 200 Level with Mike Carpenter: A Fighting Illini Fan Podcast · host Mike Carpenter

Despite holding a 23-point lead in the first half, Illinois basketball falls in OT for the third time this season. On this night, it was a Tyus Edney-esque game-winner from Donovan Dent, giving UCLA the 95-94 win. Mike Carpenter reacts immediately after the loss and questions the in-game coaching of Brad Underwood. Despite growing Illini basketball into a top-15 caliber program, is his ability to adjust on the fly good enough to win in March?
