    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    I've learned to just be patient until the final roster is set. We'll inevitably lose some that we collectively justify and lose one that is a shocker and painful; then add a bunch we've never heard of, some we have. At this point, I trust the staff is able to navigate all this craziness and set...

    So very frustrating…same symptoms and same lack of response.

    UCLA 95, Illinois 94 OT Postgame

    I would have possibly physically exploded if I was there in person Indy...I feel for ya. It was bad enough watching on TV and begging for a TO to stop the excruciating comeback run and/or try any alternative strategy tweaks. My poor dog thinks she did something wrong in such situations as my...

    UCLA 95, Illinois 94 OT Postgame

    What has frustrated me about BU throughout his tenure is he does not strategically use TOs to stop the other team’s momentum/run. Or when he does he waits till it’s tied or we lose the lead. It’s like he’s trying to prove we’re tough and let the players figure their way out of it. But every...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Whoa, you pop back in after a few days away and....geesh. Every month I understand the portal less and less. Surprised (pleasantly) to see Ty back, but I guess we should never be surprised about anything anymore when it comes to college hoops. Weird weird times!

    Pregame: Illinois vs Kentucky, Sunday, March 23rd, 4:15pm CT, CBS

    That was great… Thanks I especially enjoyed watching no three-point line, no shot clock, Sam Bowie sighting (infamously picked head of Jordan), half time stats magnet board, and the IBM PCjr add (at :49 left in the game) left in the VHS tape copy! I don’t think I ever saw this game as I was...

    Recommendations on where to watch games

    I used to always do Old Pro as well…Double D’s is usually good for big events. Yard House in Santana Row could be good, though I’ve never been for March madness. Let me know where you end up! :) SFBay Illini club usually hosts something, but it’s most often up in S.F. I’d also prefer...

    Conference Realignment, Naming Rights, Financing

    Interesting who made the cut here...wonder what their decision criteria was? Maybe just straight largest markets for potential sales, or maybe a tie in to programs that have beverage contracts to sell their product at campus stadium events...
