    Pregame: Illinois vs Penn, Thursday, March 19th, 8:25pm CT, TNT

    As Robert detailed on Illiniboard, pre-UCLA injury Keaton was much better than post-UCLA injury Keaton. That is the difference.

    Former Illini in College Basketball '25-26

    Plus, some of the players moved to lower-level teams where they match up against lower-level opponent defenders (shorter, weaker, ...). I'm happy for them that their 3-pt shooting improved, but I am not surprised.

    Illinois 81, Texas Tech 77 Postgame

    You saw what happened when we tried to foul more -- we got T'd up. Good thing we didn't start fouling earlier, or we would have had multiple guys ejected lol.

    Pregame: Big Ten Tournament

    Actually, "Gulf of America" is the official name by definition. Off topic, but this is something interesting I learned a couple weeks ago -- the US Geological Survey curates the official names of places. When someone uses Google Maps in the US, they will see the official names from this...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    I totally agree with @Indy Illini Fan who said "top 5 preseason" team. That is not a prediction of where they would end up... just where they would start.

    The mascot debate/fandom thread

    I think this has promise but can go even further. I present for your consideration: The Galloping Ghost of the Chief: Has ties to both the athletic past and the legacy of the Chief. There is no reason to limit this to one character. You have the spirited football player. You have the...

    Illini in the Pros

    I'll try to make some assumptions of how to interpret the chart. I have no idea if my assumptions are correct, but let's have a go. Assuming more positive is better than more negative on both the D-LEBRON and ON BALL DEFENSE axes, then the top right is the best of both and the bottom left is...

    Illinois 59, Northwestern 56 Postgame

    I agree. They are professionals. They should be 100x better than an average fan or peewee league ref. And it is fine for us to expect them to be. They will never be perfect, but they should at least be good all the time and great much of the time. I think there were three ridiculously bad calls...
