So we've now won 12 of the last 13..........only loss to MSU on the road.
GOAL: 20 of the last 21 to close the season.

I actually think Michigan is a better match up for Illinois. Ohio State causes too many match up issues in my opinion.I'm all for Michigan losing before they meet us in the finals.
I think the joy part is what sets this team apart. They so believe in each other, love playing together, and are absolutely relishing this as an opportunity that they have earned. No doubt that this group is locked in on making the most of it.Amazing game to watch. So much joy on this team the way they play for each other. A gem I will not soon forget.
He'll have to keep his weight under 300 if he wants to be successful at the next level.I do like Ron Harper Jr. I think he will do well at the next level.
Homie looks a little too stressed going into quarterfinals Rutgers. Looks like he knows how to relish a victory though.View attachment 7999View attachment 8000
Pic 1 is pregame, pic 2 is post-game. He is 3-0 as an Illini fan!!
BEETDOWN!One of the most dominant performances of the year. Looking forward to the locker room video.
Holy crap rebounds
Which ref were you? I think we all know.Was in Lucas Oil Stadium tonight. The crowd was so loud and the game was a ton of fun.

My son was born 5 months after the 05 championship. He keeps telling me, "Dad, I have never seen U of I in the tournament!". He has never seen a consistently good Illini team. Finally, that's all changing.These kids are so talented, and Underwood + staff direct them so well. Perfect storm. I believe we can win a natty. I hope we do. I told my son to make sure he pays attention, as it may be some time before he sees an Illini team this good again.
PS When my son was born in '06, I had every expectation that Illinois had arrrived, coming off that '05 performance. I'm older and wiser now. whew, lad.
Baylor lost. Might jump more.We jumped Iowa and Baylor to #3 on KenPom.
Thanks Gopherland! Never doubted what this team could be or what Grandy could contribute if he had a chance. And if these kids can continue to work harder every game at defense, they can win it all!To everyone who took a couple of early losses in stride.
To everyone who stood by Grandison when the game looked too fast for him in December.
Cheers to you guys!
We’re pretty good.
Can anyone tell me what the pin on Brad's shirt was tonight. I saw the #5 in it?
My understanding is they are using RFID tech for contact tracing - might be part of itIt said Session 5, guessing it's like a pass showing he belongs there.
Has there ever been a player like him on any team....ever? Shaq matched Kofi's size and strength and was even a tad bigger, , but Shaq did not run like Kofi. He did, however, shoot free throws like him.I guess it's ok to think it's normal to win by 20+ now. Man that was insane. Love seeing these guys with so much confidence. Especially Kofi. He seems to be getting stronger each game. We have NEVER had someone like him at Illinois.
