    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    With all due respect, I agree with your post. With that being said, I can't agree more. Irregardless, you have pointed me towards somethings like an expresso machine this morning. (I also dislike BOOM)

    Illinois 72, Iowa State 69 Postgame

    I'm sure this has been talked about, but my favorite plays of the game last night were those sneaky passes we had into the post. Dainja, Quincy, and Ty all had easy buckets thanks to our guards waiting for the trap and unloading precision point passing. That's a credit to whoever had the...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa/Ohio State

    I think after last night's win, we're a lock at 4. If we won the BTT and some things happened, we might cross that 3 line, but bring on the 21st. It's time for the Illini to go out and get their signature win!

    Illini Basketball 2023-2024

    I agree with this. Save the complaining about the tournament record for after the tournament. (Hopefully eating crow instead)

    Pregame: Illinois at Iowa, Sunday, March 10th, 6:00pm CT, FS1

    Someone (Fighter) can do the research on this, but I remember reading or hearing one time that teams come out hot and then fall flat on celebratory nights (Ring night, senior night, etc). It had to do with all of the adrenaline in conjunction with the long day/night instead of being in your...

    Illinois 105, Minnesota 97 Postgame

    This has been discussed ad nauseam for the past two weeks. He's a problem, but he's also trusted, which is a bigger problem. Did Minnesota make some tough shots last night? Yes. But does that mean our defense is good enough to get us into a deep run in March? I doubt it. "Minnesota made...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Nebraska, Sunday, February 4th, 5:30pm CT, BTN

    Glad to have some rest before this one. We'll have our legs, and the Huskers will be playing their second game in less than 48 hours (an OT emotional victory). If we don't win by 15+, it's because someone is playing hungover.

    Illini Basketball 2023-2024

    I'm not sure what happened, but I signed up for Peacock with my email (no CC) for a free account a couple of years ago, and I've been able to stream sports for free, watch their library, and the only annoyance is ads. I'm not sure how they managed to mess that up, I've found it to be a pleasant...

    TSJ Thread

    I'm a firm believer that the accused and accuser should remain confidential until the accused is incarcerated or actually going to trial. A very dear friend of mine is a male PE teacher (28 years in the school system). About three years ago, a parent (single mother, low-income, uneducated, 3...

    TSJ Thread

    When my wife and I started dating, I used to give her a lot of grief for leaving drinks at the bar. I don't think I ever saw her finish one. She explained to me that she didn't want to get drunk, so she sipped all night and left them on whatever table she happened to be near. I asked if that...

    Terrence Shannon Jr. suspended

    The image looks like it came from sort of message? IDK. Where there's smoke...that said, I find it telling that there is a nurse on the witness list. That would suggest a visit to the hospital fairly quickly? I am not sure why you would list a nurse as a witness if she didn't have relevant...

    Didn't this story come from a random reply on twitter? I'm just trying to keep up.

    Terrence Shannon Jr. suspended

    I had started on a post (my first one) about how excited I was for the Purdue game next week, and I am saddened to write on something of this nature instead. I'm anxious for the facts to come out so we can learn the next steps. That said, my brother served at Ft. Leavenworth about 15 years...
