hmm

I mean your the same one who said he was visiting Baylor, Michigan then back to Illinois and commit to us. I don't recall Utah being thrown in anywhere and this is taking alot longer than what you made it seem so not sure why you would ridicule that post

We will have Mizzou for sure, I imagine a Gavitt game, no idea who though. If I had to make a guess....Providence? Seton Hall? I just wish the United Center game would come back. That's a travesty that is gone Maybe we can get a Big 12 opponent. Oklahoma St, Iowa St? Also I didn't realize the...

I know Friday night is a new thing when it comes to college basketball games happening. I still can't get use to it

I thought this year's non conference home schedule was pretty bad The only Major opponent we had was Syracuse who wasn't even expected to be good and that was made only because of the ACC/BIG Ten tourney and as crazy as this sounds, I'd rather pay 10.00 and drive 30 mins to watch Illinois St...

I want big name opponets at home like we have with Zona, Seton Hall, those matchups are fun

Agree. It's to the point where I don't pay attention to recruiting anymore because what's the point? I'll still watch college basketball because they games can be really entertaining, but as far as being 100% committed to everything Illini? Probably not

The problem is these players think the grass is greener on the other side. Who's to say the new school after a year they just recruit someone over you? Remember Luther? Averaged 16 mpg freshman year only 4.5 ppg stuck it out and got some NBA time

Real Illini fans will get this

I find the talk about the players who transfer or possibly transferring quite interesting. On one side you have the "he's gonna be very talented player" then the other side "he's not good, i'm not impressed" which then makes me think...why on earth did we recruit him then?

What would Epps be upset about? He had plenty of playing time? Mad about getting yelled at? Did he never watch a Illini game before?

I was young when Kruger left but I can't believe many were ready for him to go. Regarding Chicago didn't the coaches up there freeze him out since they wanted Jimmy Collins to get the job? he was 81-48 38-28 in big ten which includes the 98-99 season where we only had 3 upperclassmen and only...

Any chance Weber finds himself coaching again after this offseason somewhere or is he for sure done?

Yes there are other issues, but the Loyola one strikes me the most. There was no reason for that

The only issue I have with Underwood is the Loyola game. It wasn't the fact they beat us but the fact they manhandled us We never lead. We were down 5 with 6:08 left in 1st half and that's as close as we got Then Loyola went and lost to 12 seed oregon st
