Well stated Pru. Almost all independent national basketball analysts rank us as a pre-season top 5 team with the roster we have now, and heap praise on Brad and staff for the terrific job they have done retaining our key players and bringing in new talent that fits our style of play and EDG...

With every single key eligible player returning (KW excepted for obvious reasons as a lottery pick), and the addition of outstanding freshman and portal players, the Illini are absolutely loaded for next year. If Blackwell realizes we are his best option to make a strong run at a Natty and...

Getting Mirk back is the key, and Brad is surrounding him with top talent and outstanding role players. Ten little known facts regarding Mirk: 1. Superman wears pajamas with Mirk's likeness on them. 2. Mirk once calmed a wild charging grizzly by bear hugging him. 3. Mirk doesn't get blisters...

If Goodman is on board, so am I, as long as Brad considers him a good fit. Time to get Vakks Inated. I also hope that if Ty Rogers remains an Illini, he comes back healthy with an improved shot, If so, Ty could maybe get minutes similar to Ben's, and be an absolute lock down defender, tenacious...

I see there's a lot of skeptics on this board who are entertaining doubts about the veracity of world renowned brain surgeon, Olympic gold medalist, and college hoops savant Dr. Wall Marte. Mark me down as on the fence too about the accuracy of his Blackwell projection to Duke for 7 mil. Dos...

Great defensive effort by the Illini, but poor shooting especially from deep killed our chances. UConn outplayed us and deserved the win. I could not be more pleased with the direction that Brad and staff have taken our program, and am extremely proud of our Illini. Our future is bright. We will...

Braylon Bad Moon Mullins is determined to harsh our buzz.

Solid defensive effort by the Illini, but poor overall shooting has kept us trailing almost all game. Do we have a last minute miracle left in us?

Neither of these teams look capable of competing with AZ or Michigan short of a complete meltdown by either of them.

Defense is solid, but need to keep scoring on our possessions. This one is still winnable, but we have to value the ball and keep taking it to them inside.

Nice move, but gotta stuff that one at the rim Tomi. You know, use that height advantage and stop finishing soft.

UConn is beating the Illini like a rented government mule, and working us like a minimum wage farm labor job. Can we please make some shots?

What are we saving Andrej for, the post season? Sub him in for Jake, who is standing around on offense.
