    Illini Coaching Staff

    He's a good recruiter but Underwood isn't Calipari and Illinois isn't Kentucky, let's not get carried away. This is a great hire but magic doesn't happen in real life.

    Biology::Mechanical Engineering != Groce Basketball::Underwood Basketball I don't want to argue your analogy but it really isn't good. That first year of school can be used for general education or base classes that all schools require. This is what I would have told my student; howcase your...

    DJ Williams was discussed. Robert Smith admitted that he doesn't know the situation, but wishes he was playing more but he has to do what it takes to earn playing time. I'd say he was bitter about DJ Williams but not Nunn.

    I heard Smith's comments. He said the Illinois head coach wasn't there enough. If you think he wasn't referring to Groce, I've got a burned bridge to sell you.

    Robert Smith's recent comments seemed like he wasn't a fan of Groce, but it could he doesn't like Groce the Illinois head coach. He might like Groce the Indiana Assistant Coach.

    AP ranks all-time top 100 basketball teams based on weekly polls

    Number of wins technically has nothing to do with this list. If you want to ask how they dealt with weeks a team was in a poll in a vacated season, that's not addressed as far as I can tell.

    AP ranks all-time top 100 basketball teams based on weekly polls

    All this list shows me is that we underperform come tournament time. Cue the Debbie Downer meme.
