    Could Coleman be our wing like player, if he decides to come back? And if he is not that player - looking like there's not much space for him here anymore. With Big Ben, Booth, Rez - don't think there's enough minutes on the plate to feed everyone. Someone's going hungry.

    I fully support handing Coleman the reins and letting him go nuts on designing some new unis

    Peoria...what's it like? Good place to live/work?

    I lived/worked there for 10 years before I left for a new job and moved out of state. I go back from time to time still. Since I've been gone for so long (8 years) I can't give you the details really anymore but I can tell you that its a fun town. A little dirty, a little run down, high...

    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    Oof - thats definitely a list. My orange colored glasses say that BU should be tied for #2 with Painter, behind Izzo. But that aside - Muss and Cronin in the top 5? Hoiberg and Collins at 10/11? How is Kevin Willard not last? And why is Ben Johnson last - he seems to have righted the ship...

    Pregame: Illinois vs UConn, Saturday, March 30th, 5:09pm CT, TBS

    How much of a comp is Purdue to UCONN? Can we just roll out the same-ish kind of game plan? Theyve got a dominant big man in Clingan and guards that can shoot. Edey is better than Clingan (if not better at least more dominant/more of a focus for the game plan for Purdue), guards are probably...

    Illini Basketball 2023-2024

    women's bball is DEFINITELY being pushed hard with advertising. I feel like it will go 1 of 2 ways. 1 - The push will work and it will gain a foothold and continue to draw more ad $$$ and sell tickets. or 2 - eventually the people spending the money on the push will not see a return on...

    We have all had some tough love from people in our past, I'm sure. If you know that the person who is tearing into truly cares about you and wants the best for you, it's received differently than just being berated.
