    Pregame: Illinois at Iowa, Monday, December 6th, 6:00pm CT, FS1

    That I agree with, if you are going to be vocal about being a top PG, then you need to walk the walk. I think he felt he had to put the team on his back while kofi was gone, and opponents we played tried to take him out of the game. That is where it comes back to game planning - underwood had to...

    Pregame: Illinois at Iowa, Monday, December 6th, 6:00pm CT, FS1

    I would like to make a point in regards to Curbelo’s status. I firmly believe we are a better team with him on the court, no question. I watched reruns of the duke game last year, and the games when ayo was out, and he was spectacular. We had very high expectations for him this year, and maybe...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Cincinnati

    I know I have been on a tangent tonight. But I’m just so frustrated with what I’m watching… Idk why I do this to myself. I thought Marquette was a fluke; but we literally have no adjustments. We didn’t learn from the Loyola loss, that we need more than one person to control our offense. We keep...

    This is just ugly… I mean.. you had a week to prepare for this game, and we look out of sink. We have no rhythm on offense.. and we aren’t running anything for anyone besides kofi.

    They don’t make sense.... they penalize teams for being consistent and not having blow outs. But reward teams for losses, but have blowouts ? Doesn’t make sense. Penalize us for having the best conference in basketball, but reward teams like Kansas and Baylor for having 2 teams ranked in a...

    What a joke considering they are 18th in the country. These NET rankings are a joke!

    How was that a Quad 2 win? I thought at home vs top 30 is a quad 1?

    Illinois 78, Iowa 76 POSTGAME

    So proud of these guys! Even getting screwed by the refs all game and almost a majority of these games, we still look good. If Gb can make some of those bunnies and Trent shoots more in rhythm we will be dangerous. The way damonte, kipper, Alan developing now late season... with Dre, ayo, and...

    Garza gets every call. We get nothing on the other end. The guards are riding us. Lot of pushing... If GB could make these layups we are up 16-20
