    I may have asked this before, but how do these transfers deal with working out and continuing to work in their game. Do they still get access to facilities? I’m assuming they are still going to class (assuming they went before). Seems like guys remain friends even after they transfer away…so...

    Watching the Illinois -Mizzou baseball game and I don’t mind the 1LL1NO1S font on the baseball uniforms for some reason.

    IllinoisLoyalty Bracket Challenge

    Did my bracket and have Illini winning it all over Purdue in the championship. I’d never forgive myself otherwise. Screw hedging your bets.

    NCAA Tournament Ticket/Where to Watch Advice

    Id say it's probably worth it to try the Circa Pool. Watched an NFL Sunday there and it was amazing. Don't have to stay at the hotel to get a day pass to the pool. They also have a great sports book inside the hotel.

    Illinois 105, Minnesota 97 Postgame

    Hearing Bruce say (paraphrasing here) to screw the defense when you can score like this makes me wonder who has taken over his body. I know lots in here don’t like him, I’ll always like him and i feel like he can’t hide his affection for Illinois.

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    I think teams have come to realize they can just dribble drive to the rim because all we do is jump away from the offensive player as they get to the basket.

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    After I gave Coleman his flowers after last game. Tonight just wasn’t his night. Please play Ty the last 5 minutes of every game. Even if Brad says he’s not defending well, he terminates possessions with defensive rebounds. We can’t guard an inbounds play involving a screen because we’ve...

    Michigan State 88, Illinois 80 Postgame

    Domask playing Booty ball at the half court line just exposes him against quicker guards. If we truly are positionless, whoever the opposing 5 is guarding, let that person bring it up the floor. I totally trust Domask at end of clock situations, but he wil get his pocket picked at least once...

    Illinois 87, Nebraska 84 OT Postgame

    A couple random and pointless observations 1) As a half Asian Bradley grad, I’m gonna have to root for Nebraska the rest of the year because is Mask and Tominaga. 2) As a former Missouri Valley student athlete, I’m uneasy that the Valley is becoming the AAA league for the Big 10. 3). I’m...
