    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    This is exhausting, and, quite frankly IMO, not very much fun to follow.

    Honestly, as long as we aren't the 4-seed in Gonzaga's region (I believe they are way, way ahead of everyone else), all of the other #1 seeds have some issues and/or aren't that far away from the 2-seed line - - so I'm not sure whether being a 3 or a 4 seed matters all that much. Arizona, the...

    3/10 Games

    Something to watch perhaps -- Cincinnati currently 99 in NET. Tied with East Carolina mid second half. Would a loss drop them into the 100s, which would give us a Q3 loss?

    1/31 Polls & Bracketology - Illinois #18 in AP Poll

    This site (Bracketologists.com) has been really helpful to show the differences in wins between quadrants, look at the upcoming schedule, and compile all of the numbers (NET, KenPom, Sagarin, BPI, KPI and T-Rank) all in one spot. Also, they have a spot for each team's message board, and...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (March 2021)

    I really like the scholarship grid that's posted throughout these threads at times. Can that be pinned in any way in this recruiting thread?

    NIT Pregame: #2 Illinois vs #7 Valparaiso, Tuesday, March 14th, 6:00pm CT, ESPN

    Basically, what they've done with the foul rules is change it to how it is for women's college BB, except they aren't doing official "quarters" and keeping it as halves. In women's college BB, 4 10-minute quarters; 5th foul of the quarter results in a 2-shot bonus. (No 1-and-1's). All they're...

    We made ESPN's "Bubble Watch" column today for the first time. Because seeding is always pretty up in the air, this is really the one thing from ESPN I typically read about tournament projections -- it's usually pretty spot on with good analysis. Anyway, here's the Illinois part: Work Left to...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Michigan State, Wednesday, March 1st, 8:00pm CT, BTN

    Ha, I said this the other day ... I figure we would beat Nebraska and Michigan State -- start getting tons of hype -- and then completely lay an egg at Rutgers. :eek:

    1/10 Games

    Mizzou lost by 5 at home to Auburn. 0-18 in SEC play is definitely possible now having already lost to LSU at home, too.

    11/17 Games

    Mizzou also only beat their HC's previous D2 school -- picked NINTH in its conference preseason poll this year -- by seven, with the game in doubt in the final minute or so. This will be a really good test for them.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Lewis (Exhibition), Friday, November 4th, 7:00pm CT, BTN Plus

    The big key with this Lewis team will be the loss of forward Max Strus, who was their absolute go-to last year -- averaged 20.2 points per game, hit 68 three's, grabbed 8.4 rebounds/game, and led them with 117 assists. He transferred after his sophomore year up to DePaul and is sitting this...
