Frank Williams, Brian Cook, Malcolm Hill would all rank ahead of Trent in my opinion. He was a big part of our turnaround, but I felt they carried more and did more.

Brandon Paul too.
Malcolm Hill and maybe Demetri McCamey too, although their teams didn't win as much.
40 more minutes. Let’s keep this thread alive!
Let's go for 125 (win the last game in OT, just as a little bit of extra sauce).
Shannon is flat-out spectacular. A true game-breaker. Safely within the Top Five Illini of all time.
I cannot wait for the Ayo vs. Shannon battles in The Association in the years ahead. Two Illini greats going at it in the NBA for years. (And if the Bulls get Shannon... these battles will be on the practice floor. Let’s hope.)
Or maybe Hawkins is a Bull?

I never had the academics to get accepted into Illinois but i grew up around this program my whole life, i knew Frankie and all the manual guys, i graduated with Monte and went to school with Adam. To see how far this program has came just in my lifetime is amazing and i trust Brad 100 percent !!
One takeaway from this season that surprised me, in the Era of the transfer portal being king I worried I wouldn’t be able to feel as invested in 1 year transplant players. This year shows I care as deeply about those guys as much as our dedicated long term guys like Coleman. This year has made me less cynical of the transfer portal (for now at least).
We miss you Arch
Pruitt?
Robert Bennett… although he did shock the Hawkeyes with a game winning jumper one year.

We are a top10 team and program.
Just wasn't quite ready for it to end. My heart breaks for these guys.

Let's remeber it in its entirety not the last 20 minutes.

A very entertaining season! Much like life, it's not about the last moments, it's about the "dash".
October 31st - March 30 has been fun. I was entertained, and that's my goal with sports. The end doesn't get me down, as it's ultimately not important. I'll take joy on the positive and shrug off the negative.
Onto to MLB baseball for me.

Are fade-away jumpers near the basket and middle-of-lane jumpers considered a part of Booty Ball? If so, then you need to clear your mind and not compare it to MD's version of Booyt Ball. Why? Because he isn't doing it now? Because I should be negative? Because he's reached his peak...
