    Pregame: Illinois vs Houston, Thursday, March 26th, 9:05pm CT, TBS

    Yes because they don't know all the matchups for each day yet. Florida vs. Nebraska has a different national pull for example than Iowa vs. Nebraska.

    Michigan 84, Illinois 70 Postgame

    What do you mean? He was the game leader in dribbling off his leg out of bounds.

    Michigan 84, Illinois 70 Postgame

    I was screaming in the 2nd half because I couldn't believe Boswell just kept jacking up bricks. Pass it to someone better from deep! Here's his three point shooting the past 8 games: 1-6 2-4 1-6 1-3 1-4 0-2 1-5 1-4 8 out of 34 - 24%. Maybe he should stick to what he does best which is getting...

    Wisconsin 92, Illinois 90 OT Postgame

    The Krush has more than enough opportunity to get the crowd going and they don't do it. (My read on the announcer leading those chants is because the Krush don't/aren't.)

    Wisconsin 92, Illinois 90 OT Postgame

    Andrej was limping pretty noticeably before the game in the video I saw on social media pre-game. Not surprised he didn't get any tick.

    Wisconsin 92, Illinois 90 OT Postgame

    No. Orange Krush standing there with their arms crossed killed the Orange Krush. Hard to be a fan section that creates a home court advantage when you're silent.

    Wisconsin 92, Illinois 90 OT Postgame

    I've been beating this drum for years. The Orange Krush is absolutely terrible. Go back and watch the final two minutes of OT. Down 6. That's when the players need you the most. They're totally silent. One person in the front row is jumping. The rest are doing jack s***. Terrible. I hate them...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Random question -- when a recruit is visiting campus for a weekend, do they stay at a hotel? Or with some of the members of the team wherever they live to get a fuller team experience / hopefully bond and get to know them better? Curious about the logistics and everything that goes into that stuff.

    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    I'll miss Chester. Loved having an alum who bleeds orange and blue back on the sidelines. I saw the team loading the buses before the BTT Championship in Minneapolis and Chester looked even more locked in than the players. Staring straight ahead, focused, pissed off, ready to win a trophy. I...

    Muss going to the USC was the whole reason Kentucky even had a coaching search in the first place :ROFLMAO:

    Illinois #6 in final AP Poll

    We played Tennesssee super close and it was on a day when Shannon + Domask combined for like 22% FG shooting. Their worst combined shooting game of the season by far. We could've beaten them in a rematch for sure.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    I said that to my buddy today. I love that Davis/White and then everyone else we seem to be targeting are not one-and-done/grad transfers like this year's crew (Domask, Q, Harmon). Lets the team gel a lot over the course of two seasons which will pay dividends down the road for sure.

    Games Thread - The National Championship

    Can't stand the smugness of the Purdue players (Loyer, Edey) and their incredibly annoying and insecure fanbase. So while I don't like Hurley either, let's go UCONN. At least we'll have lost to the eventual national champion...
