    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    I do think two things are true. Brad nails the personality and culture and “atmosphere” a team needs to win aspect of coaching. There are significant signs that scheme/Xs and Os aspect could limit us. I’m trying to remember a game or situation where a scheme or play was why we won. It’s really...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa State

    I’ve struggled to come up with !!!! talk about Iowa State after how nice their fans were in Omaha last weekend but I’ve managed. How you ask to speak to the manager when your vegan burger doesn’t come with enough ketchup How you react when lululemon is sold out of the joggers you really...

    NCAA Tournament Ticket/Where to Watch Advice

    I figured that would happen a little but Thursday nosebleed seats were literally $8 and now I’m seeing nothing below $200

    Ticket prices absolutely bonkers for tomorrow compared to yesterday. Any idea why?

    Purdue 77, Illinois 71 Postgame

    We played well, they hit an unreal amount of 3s and that doesn’t happen most games. That being said, I fail to see what Goode is bringing on offense at the end of the game that makes up for not having Rogers or Quincy on the floor to help with defense/rebounding.

    TSJ Thread

    Absolutely makes sense. Thanks. I wondered if TSJ may have shared that something happened with a girl in a bar but it was consensual.

    TSJ Thread

    The only question that he kind of dodged, maybe I misheard his answer, did what TSJ told them when they verbally met about the complaint line up with the version in the filing? Basically was TSJ fully honest?

    Loyola Chicago 71, Illinois 58 Postgame

    I'm still struggling to get to this point. It's one thing if we lost to a better team, but we didn't show up, got out-efforted, and it's tough to be positive about this yet. 04-05 I was disappointed in the situation, this year I'm disappointed at the team.

    Loyola Chicago 71, Illinois 58 Postgame

    Loyola wanted to do surgery on us and we just let it happen. Never once tried to shift tempo in our favor or pressure and run on them. Inexcusable adjustment by an otherwise great coaching staff. You have the better athletes and deeper bench, press and turn up the tempo and make the thing into a...

    You give the new HC the ability to hire who he wants on staff. Means those guys would come with most likely.

    The Illinois Football Coaching Search

    It is. And if Whitman emphasized integrity he can't be in the same zip code as Art Briles. Trust me, Baylor was a cesspool and while Rhule helped and Aranda isnt' bad, the University still isn't completely clean.
