    As much as I think TSJ should have been a first or at worst second team AA, it’s hard to argue against the numbers. I think if you went by the eye test, he would have to make it, but his rebounding and assist numbers don’t help him. His rebounding numbers are low, but that’s only because that...

    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    Can you help me to understand this screenshot then? We have more commits than Minnesota and Iowa, but we’re still ranked below them, 11th in the conference if they rank teams by average recruit ranking. I still don’t understand.

    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    Don’t get me wrong, I consider myself the eternal optimist, but can someone explain all the hoopla about all these commitments? I looked at the 247 conference recruiting rankings, and we’re currently 11th in the big ten. I know we’ve had a bunch of underrated recruits become draft picks, so...

    Michigan State 23, Illinois 15 Postgame

    Tbh, I think the most egregiously wrong call by the refs hasn’t been mentioned much on here. WTF was that call where we pushed the MSU player out of bounds with like 1:50 left in the game and the refs didn’t stop the clock??? Never seen anything remotely like that. The only possible explanation...

    Alan Griffin suspended 2 games

    I agree, I’m not suggesting he’s a thug or anything like that, just want him to control those competitive instincts or whatever it was that led him to do these dumb things. He needs to direct all of his competitive energy into the game.

    Alan Griffin suspended 2 games

    I’ll be honest, I was not shocked when this happened. I love him as a player, and I hope he gets his act together, but this isn’t the first time he does something of this nature (not as bad as this, but still unnecessary contact). I wonder if his history had anything to do with the length of the...

    Cal 35, Illinois 20 POSTGAME

    To be clear, I think both of those out of bounds catches were difficult calls and I don’t blame the refs for going with what was called on the field instead of overturning the call. That doesn’t change the fact that I think they got one or both of those calls wrong and could’ve really changed...

    Also looking forward to next year and hopefully much more of Isaiah Williams, he looks sooo quick!

    I think the referees had more of an impact than we are even letting on. The biggest in my mind was that big play near the end of the half where they ruled “as stands” rather than confirmed. We had them backed up against there end zone on third down and it was pretty clear to me that their...

    Does anybody have any idea what is going on with Tevian? Will he be coming back before this semester is over?

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa, Thursday, March 14th, 8:30pm CT, BTN

    I know we haven’t exactly been playing well of late, but I think too many people are discounting the fact that three of those “bad” losses came to teams that were on hit streaks (IU and penny state), also Iowa is on a cold streak of their own...

    I’m going to go ahead and get ahead of myself here...if we can play like that, there is no reason we can’t win the B1G tournament.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (March 2018)

    If we were to sign only one of all the guys that are in the discussion, who would everyone choose? I would take Samba Kane over all the options we have, and our current competition doesn’t seem too stiff!

    Iowa 96, Illinois 87 POSTGAME

    On the bright side, at least the coaching staff can get an early start to recruiting. I know there’s not much recruiting that can be done on transfers until they indicate they want to transfer, but maybe for one of the remaining high school players out there.

    Ohio State 75, Illinois 67 POSTGAME

    Did anyone else feel like they were continually getting bailed out and sent to the line on very VERY soft fouls???? Felt like we would have pulled away if they weren’t continually bailed out in that stretch where we maintained a 4 point lead. Not to mention that awful 3 point shot foul on AJ, he...
