    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    in this age of social media, I’ve made it a point to say how much I appreciate this team & what they’ve done on multiple levels. social media is brutal & can really mess with someone’s head. appreciation/recognition really matters for long term success. proud of this team.

    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    sad to see this season end. a great run for a deserving team. it was breaking my heart to watch Ty so upset on the bench. nothing to hang heads about at all.

    seems like Ty didn't play much in the 2nd part of the 1st half. hope to see him more next half. he's been a playmaker.

    TSJ Thread

    is it just me or do some of these headlines “TSJ files restraining order against own team”, etc. come off as lazy reporting for shock value? the filing is clearly directed at UI policy. maybe just semantics, but I think it can be important for public perception.
