    UConn 71, Illinois 62 Postgame

    They are playing UConn next fall? Hard pass as long as Hurley is coaching them.

    Don't see anything good about a second year coach in Dusty May reaching the Sweet16 his first year and winning the championship his 2nd year. Having him lead a program that will probably outspend us every year not only in football but basketball nothing to celebrate

    They really haven't been shooting well the last few games including this one.

    Big 10 results so far mixed. Wisky and Michigan upper tier conference teams that lose or struggling is concerning

    Only tournament loss that was disappointing was a second round loss to Notre Dame I believe

    Illini Basketball 2025-2026

    They are who they are.Over the last several weeks Underwood has already tried every motivating, pleading, win one for the Gipper speech he has in the repertoire. They are possibly a Sweet 16 or Rd of 32 participant. With a lucky match up or opponent injuries long shot Elite8. Posters are in the...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Wisconsin, Friday, March 13th, 1:30pm CT, BTN

    Been to several games there. Including vs IL and against Purdue. If it's during the week the environment can be sleepy. If both teams are good and it's a weekend the crowd is better. Probably not ruckus an atmosphere as Breslin, @Nebraska, or Rutgers when their good. Been to lots of football...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Wisconsin, Friday, March 13th, 1:30pm CT, BTN

    Hate to say this but not feeling good about the Illini for the BTT or the NCAAs. It's possible they could turn it around but this team looks to be trending in the wrong direction. Don't know if it's illness (Stoyakavic), injury(Wagler), or just poor perimeter shooting (Tomi,Kylan, AS,Wagler?)...

    Could interpret those numbers as an inability for IL to make plays down the stretch to win tight games. And a lot of those plays aren't necessarily on the offensive end. Some key defensive rebounds wins a few more games. Michigan beat Iowa last night with a few defensive stops at the end. Iowa...

    Pregame: Illinois at Maryland, Sunday, March 8th, 2:00pm CT, FOX

    When I watch Z shoot it from 3 I just cringe. Tomi has a nice release and form that looks like it has a reasonable chance to go in. Zs shot looks like he should pass it to someone else

    UCLA 95, Illinois 94 OT Postgame

    At this point in the season with a full roster they've learned what their going to. They have certain defensive deficiencies based on roster composition. The same composition that makes the offense so efficient. This won't change. Just hope your shooting well enough from 3 and hitting fts to...
