“I deserve 100% all the criticisms in the world. My performance was beyond pitiful today, and it has been for some time now. I have been working on my A- Off every day to be great, but I cannot be perfect all the time. I am sorry for our fans and my teammates, I will continue to improve,” he posted-his account as he was deactivated.
However, with this message came from the screenshots of hateful messages, including the one who called it a “trash can can n —–“. Another user told him to “kill you”, while another wanted death.
The incident was sufficient for head coach Bill Self to publish a long declaration in which he reiterated that he was “proud” of his team.

“The match today was a very good university basketball match. We played a very good team and we were beaten,” wrote Self. “We had individuals who had exceptional individual matches, and we may not have played the norm they have established for themselves. But everyone in our team, the coaches included, more than anyone, had the opportunity to have an impact on the game.”
Self added: “I will ride with these guys every day and I will be proud of this. Any criticism of the team should be directed against me. I am the head coach.”
He finished his statement: “This is the most important moment of the season, and this is the moment when we have to be better, but we must also focus on basketball and not things outside of basketball that has absolutely no merit.”
