    3/25 Games

    Jackson got away with a couple of fouls at the end, but he would've gotten away with them with most sets of refs.

    3/20 Games

    Say what you will about UNI, just don't call them boring! Amazing pair of shots by Koenig at the end. The guy seems to come up huge every year in the tourney.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (January-March 2016)

    Geez, Chastain looks awfully good. For some reason the previous discussion suggested that he was skilled but not a great athlete. We don't see his lateral quickness in the video and he doesn't show elite ability to change directions on balance but his top speed, leaping, reaction time, and...

    Michigan 78, Illinois 68 POSTGAME

    It might not wind up being our worst record, but it will certainly be our worst team over that period, and by a wide margin. Even if we were healthy, this was projected to be a mediocre team at best.

    Aha! I'm a fan of Wachusett Blueberry Ale myself; I recommend you check it out while you're (apparently) in Maine.

    Re: Anheuser Busch to be taken over by InBev That's about 100 billion pints per year, for those keeping track at home, or close to a billion full kegs. Also, $42.4 billion is greater than the GDP of countries like Serbia or Bulgaria, and it's over four times the GDP of Afghanistan.
