    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    In my eyes it seemed like the guys really bonded well and enjoyed each other, and THEN made a special memory of reaching a Final Four. Those guys are battle tested together and bonded through the struggles of last year and hopefully that will play some role in their decisions to stay. IF we can...

    That's awful. No one wants to watch that $hit.

    Illinois 81, Rutgers 55 Postgame

    Right, which is why I said I'm not selling my stock! I also expect him to revert to his "mean" which is certainly better than 23%.

    Illinois 81, Rutgers 55 Postgame

    Fun team to watch for sure. I'm 39 now and keep telling myself to enjoy these games and not stress so much! I'm NOT selling my AS stock quite yet because the kid is magic driving to the hoop and in the lane. I tell my two daughters every game that it is mind-blowing to see the skillset AS has...

    Lot to be excited about! I don't post a lot, so this will be all over the place; my apologies in advance LOL. Like many have noted the diversity of line-ups is INSANE. Maybe I'm just being optimistic but I also think our shooting will be better than it's been in a LONG time; I'd be curious if...

    I think they only let you knock out one zebra a year, accidental or not.

    Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

    Iowa looks really tough.. My cousins are from Iowa so I follow them somewhat and this is the most complete team they've had in a long time. I expect us to be right there in the game because we finally have a team where there are 4-5 people who can get some points and our D has been excellent...

    Illinois 79, Purdue 62 POSTGAME

    That was the best half of basketball I've seen out of Illinois in a long time, and probably out of anyone in the B1G this year, especially on the road. Obviously Kofi, Trent, Ayo, and Georgi played phenomenal. I'll comment that if Kipper and/or Damonte can even add a couple points each a game...

    Illinois 71, Michigan 62 POSTGAME

    I though the interior passing looked good at times in games before but Kofi and GB are really starting to work well together. We looked good tonight.

    Maryland 59, Illinois 58 POSTGAME

    Underwood not having Kofi is for so long is unbelievable... it defies logic. Then he puts him in with 2.1 secs left..... Someone help me understand.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Lindenwood

    Jesus, this is an !!!-whooping. Kofi getting into it now... Defense forcing turnovers at really high clip. 64-29.
