    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    It seemed fine to me as it was simply citing his reason for withdrawing. Without definitive reasoning, people would be questioning whether it was Illinois offered a huge bag of money to stay, another team offered the bag, an injury, a pending court case, or any other reason someone could cook...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    With all due respect, I agree with your post. With that being said, I can't agree more. Irregardless, you have pointed me towards somethings like an expresso machine this morning. (I also dislike BOOM)

    Illinois 72, Iowa State 69 Postgame

    I'm sure this has been talked about, but my favorite plays of the game last night were those sneaky passes we had into the post. Dainja, Quincy, and Ty all had easy buckets thanks to our guards waiting for the trap and unloading precision point passing. That's a credit to whoever had the...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa/Ohio State

    I think after last night's win, we're a lock at 4. If we won the BTT and some things happened, we might cross that 3 line, but bring on the 21st. It's time for the Illini to go out and get their signature win!

    I agree with this. Save the complaining about the tournament record for after the tournament. (Hopefully eating crow instead)

    Pregame: Illinois at Iowa, Sunday, March 10th, 6:00pm CT, FS1

    Illinois 105, Minnesota 97 Postgame

    This has been discussed ad nauseam for the past two weeks. He's a problem, but he's also trusted, which is a bigger problem. Did Minnesota make some tough shots last night? Yes. But does that mean our defense is good enough to get us into a deep run in March? I doubt it. "Minnesota made...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Nebraska, Sunday, February 4th, 5:30pm CT, BTN

    Glad to have some rest before this one. We'll have our legs, and the Huskers will be playing their second game in less than 48 hours (an OT emotional victory). If we don't win by 15+, it's because someone is playing hungover.

    Illini Basketball 2023-2024

    I'm not sure what happened, but I signed up for Peacock with my email (no CC) for a free account a couple of years ago, and I've been able to stream sports for free, watch their library, and the only annoyance is ads. I'm not sure how they managed to mess that up, I've found it to be a pleasant...
