    My goodness. As a healthcare provider, I feel obligated to tell many of you to go outside and take 5 deep breaths. If you’re able, walk around the block and think of how we just won the Big Ten Tournament and went to the Elite 8. Then, brew a good tea or pour your favorite drink and write down...

    One thing I like with the projected line ups…versatility. We are reloading to be another Swiss Army knife that can use the versatility and floor combinations to absolutely drive opposing teams nuts. I love it!

    Probably not, but I hope he has an excellent year next year and trends that way!

    Much love to DD! I will absolutely be watching him wherever he lands. I just looked at his recruiting profile and in 2019 he was scouted as a potential 2nd rounder. I can’t help but hope he can do just that! Now….give me a mobile tree that can drain a three!

    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    Was the hype and GIFs referencing Brad staying put? I thought we happily settled that with a 90+ percent chance he retires here. I think there is more and here is what it is. The universe is getting us both OA and Gentry back while we sign 4 absolute EDG dawgs. We make a return trip to the...

    Agree! I work in the big city of Olney. Good Friday football games, couple good coffee shops and hopefully two future Illini in both basketball and football. Jaylen took the area by storm in grade school while he was here.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa, Saturday, February 24th, 1:15pm CT, BTN

    If Quincy and Harmon get roasted again and don’t show up and Hawkins continues to spend his floor minutes complaining about fouls, play the freshmen. I loved what they brought tonight.

    Don’t care to hear Underwood’s reasoning or excuses, because there are ZERO. Be better.

    Michigan State 88, Illinois 80 Postgame

    After this many years of watching, it’s clear Underwood is never wrong and we know nothing. I really like him but he’s stubborn to a fault. The interesting thing is, when he actually does alter schemes and make adjustments they work. It’s the dead horse beating that gets us in trouble. And how...

    Northwestern 96, Illinois 91 OT Postgame

    I don’t support fighting, but our squad would level every single one of those *****. I’d pay to watch Berry v Hawkins in the title fight.

    Maryland 76, Illinois 67 Postgame

    Correct me if I am wrong, did we not make any adjustments all game? Or did we make them and not execute the plan?

    Can’t afford healthcare, climate is in dire need, corporate profits soaring, housing crises in all corners of the US……and Rick Scott is looking for answers.
