Color me bummed out....just lost two EDGs that are dawgs. I assume we can expect that Brad will win next year!

We need some rim protectors, Hansberry is going to be a stretch 4 and I would assume Morez will be developing into a stretch 4 as well. Who are we looking at for this role?

Hope some of the new names that I am seeing on this board are not soft.....we need defense and rebounding, the offense can be developed! Honestly, kind of worried about the make up and culture of the team after such a major reload. Ty, Amani, Buck, DGL and Morez all gotta be leaders and keep...

Phew!! Glad to hear and can't wait to see this animal back on the court.

Hope the Bear is getting paid! Good luck DD!!

Hope the dancing bear finds a home where his talents can flourish because the bear can flat out score - he has made serious progress with the free throws....gonna miss him! God speed young man and thank you for your contributions to making the Illini program a Big Ten champion.

Ty, Amani, Dain and Luke will serve as the core returning with DGL and Buck in the mix as well. Add in some like minded scorers that defend and this group could make a repeat run!!

get the ball to Dain in the post

Loyer sold that foul and the ref was in a buying mode....this happens every time down the court. Credit to Loyer for great acting job.

It does not matter what our seed is, we will play a very good team. We need to be able to win down the stretch, too many empty trips tonight, leading to Purdue getting in a rhythm. Give Purdue credit, they got stops in the second half on the road in a difficult environment. Don't feel like we...

Lets make sure we get the ball out of the halftime

Yes, that was good defense by CH. A BS call!

Thought I would have seen a different level of energy at home but more complaining and poor execution at the end of the half. Shooting 62% from the field is just not acceptable. Wow!

We proved tonight that we are not a championship caliber team. Definitely talented and capable, just not gonna go far in the tourney. A lot of missed free throws and complaining to the refs. A team is only as good as their weakest link, and tonight we stooped really low with the complaining...

We just had a week of rest and practice, no excuses for the absolute collapse down the stretch.
