    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    The more competition for playing time, the better. Sincere is a lockdown defender with the junkyard dog tenacity of the Tysmanian Devil. Assuming he's put in plenty of time developing a decent pull-up jumper and learned from watching this year, he can be a valuable contributor. His outstanding...

    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    We had no answer whatsoever for the UConn freightliner that plowed right over us. Great season overall, by one of my favorite Illini teams of all time. These are tough, resilient young men, who will get over their deep disappointment today and go on to do great things in their lives. And, the...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

    We will get TSJ more shots the second half with far better ball movement, and he will settle in and start making them pay. Clingan is looking gassed a bit, and a fast pace will work to our favor.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

    Unless we can start making dunks and layups when they are open, and get our FT shooting back up to 75% or better, we will not give ourselves a good chance to win.

    Gotta take advantage every time their giant is on the bench.

    Pregame: Illinois vs UConn, Saturday, March 30th, 5:09pm CT, TBS

    The Huskies are going to be a very tough test. Much like quintuplet midget brothers using a public urinal trough, the Illini will need to stay on their toes to pull this one out. Our best effort gives us a fighting chance, go Illini.

    Illinois 72, Iowa State 69 Postgame

    Looks like the ISU game plan was to shut down Marcus, who finished 2 of 11 from the field (but made all 3 of his FTs) and finished with 7 points. Got just enough from the rest of the team to win. We will need a solid bounce back game from the Doctor to hang with UConn, and also need to keep TSJ...

    Let's go strong inside and force some more fouls. They have 3 key players with 3 now.

    TSJ should have been resting after the time out, and not on the floor to commit that foul.

    The Tysmanian Devil is hustling as always. Nice jam!

    With this style of play, we should have the top players in the portal beating down our doors to get in on this sweet action next year.

    I'll take Who is Up by at Least 20 at the Half for 1200, Ken.

    I almost feel sorry for Duquense. We are stomping the monkey snot out of them. I'm hoping we get to clear our bench at some point in the second half, to keep our key players rested, uninjured, and connected with our role players.
