JW will not settle unless desperate. He will be trying to hit the home run in the next week or so. If we don't land anyone, then the many coaches mentioned on this board will be considered...I think Shaka or a Lavin is that out of box huge hiring he is pursuing.

Don't feel too bad for the guy. He racked up a couple million. He screwed our program big time. Set us back a bunch. Good guy. But most people are. Can say the same for Weber...

I truely feel we have a shot at Steve Lavin. He's ready to get back into coaching - champaign calling!

I live in DC. This tourney was on my radar - very excited. Had set up trips for my out of town fellow alums. So excited. As time got closer, they all cancelled. Today I had the day off and decided to play tennis. How pathetic. Finally my Illini come to D.C. , tix were essentially free and...

Both these teams have a lot to lose in this game. Really not much of a positive. Both teams cellar dwellers who were not supposed to be in this position. A win doesn't move the needle, a loss is a nail in the coffin (especially for Groce).

One of the most telling moments of how the team feels about Groce and themselves was when JCL threw a behind the back pass down 14 in the backcourt that flew out of bounds. What? Who does this besides players that just don't care.

All this about making tournament. If we did (which we won't) we would be enbarrased in the first round and potentially justify yet another year of Groce. This is not what Illini basketball is all about. Groce has successfully turned our program into a bottom feeder in the Big 10

I went to that miserable Maryland game (A team that started 3 fresh and 1 soph). This had same tone. They are ill prepared and don't come out with any fight. Spotting a team 20 pts - teams you could be and your not even competitive. This is not Illini basketball. This is representative of...

I attended game yesterday I went to game yesterday in college park. Good Illini crowd that left with huge disappointment. I was so embarrassed for the team and to be an Illini basketball supporter. They looked like they didn't care, outplayed by 3 freshman andb1 sophomore. I really like...
