    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Luke did seem to have a steady head and made clutch shots in the tourney. Whether deserved or not, his history at Illinois in my mind is associated with getting a foul within 30 sec of entering the game. Didn't that seem to happen over and over and over again? Do we have stats for that?

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa State, Thursday, March 28th, 9:09pm CT, TBS

    Money lines are shrinking to +1. I was in Maui to see the Illini lose to Iowa St (and THT) in the preseason tourney, everyone looking exhausted in the hot, loud Lahaina gym after not quite reaching Gonzaga the night prior in spite of Trent hero-ball. Ayo didn't have his bearings yet, Alan...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Eastern Illinois

    Big10 plus apparently can be downloaded as an app if you use an app host system like roku or firestick but NOT through a "regular" smart TV without those. I couldn't even use the "cast" function from my laptop during the first game live but it did work during the replay.

    We'll see if his reads are quick and intuitive. Also BIG10 away crowds have a way of inducing errors in handling the point. Excited to see how they gel tho, lots of intriguing possibilities...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Northwestern, Thursday, February 23rd, 8:00pm CT, BTN

    Those haphazard bandages for TSJs cut above the eye at the Maryland game similarly did not inspire confidence in our training staff providing emergency care. Glad DD looked to be ok after a few minutes

    Illinois 61, Wisconsin 51 Postgame

    Any insights into RJs semi transparent left shoulder patch? Looked like it could have been an advert? Citibank Band Aids and Jimmy John's kinesiotape gonna be the next big NIL thing?

    Anybody else lose the last 5 min of gametime on the YouTube TV recording replay? I've never been so NOT upset at not being able to witness the end of a game; kinda knew how it would end...

    Illinois 85, Texas 78 OT Postgame

    Matthew Microwave Mayer I was actually most impressed he didn't start heaving up heat-checks--he was hot enough that most younger players would have started doing somethin stupid after so many straight buckets, but he let the game come to him, and thereby, to others. Great win with lots of...

    Illinois 92, Lindenwood 59 Postgame

    It is so fun to watch our freshmen point guards handle the ball... Skyy's handles look just as solid behind the back as in front, even in tight quarters. So pumped to see him asserting himself more, and yet he still gave a couple of bunnies to RJ that he could have scored himself. When these...
