Gameday Spirit bag?

January is over. Time to ball.

Well Groce's first year wasn't Kendrick's first year, so he probably didn't have any fundamentals from Weber's staff. If you're referring to 2012/2013, I would agree, but that has nothing to do with the previous post. We've seen that Groce tends to make decisions based on seniority instead of...

That was a weird season. 11-7 tied us for 2nd and Northwestern was 9th at 8-10. Also, Michael Jordan's son was on the team, we lost to Penn State 33-38, and Indiana went 1-17 in conference. What a time to be alive!

Not enough talk about the jerseys. Still undefeated in the throwbacks, expecting another win tonight! It's that simple. Starting 5: swap Mav for Thorne Bench: TJL and Tate swap minutes, Kipper takes some of Finke's and DJW

And most of those early leads are a result of one team shooting like 80% for a stretch or the other team missing 6 of 7 shots or some combination of the two. If you expect these types of trends to continue, then I could see how it looks like your team is failing to maintain a lead. In reality...

I get that people love Whitman for the Lovie hire, and he's an undoubtedly charismatic guy, but I think it's risky to assume that he will be able to hit the same kind of home run if he needs to replace Groce. That timing and connections had to work out perfectly for the whole Lovie thing to...

Vacuum and 5? Wait, that's just man to man.

Saw he wore a pre-rebrand Illini hoodie (gray with the circled I) to one of the games he attended recently. He must have had that since at latest 2012. Kid's a fan, no doubt.

Guessing orange jerseys for this one since the last road loss to Maryland was in the blues. Or maybe they switch it up with the grays. Haven't seen those yet this year, right? Also, being a road game, I don't see Black avoiding foul trouble while Bryant gets whistled. More likely to be the...

How would Martin do as far as recruiting in Chicago?

I think playing Te'Jon would be a better analogy to going down swinging. Playing Tate is like going down in the fetal position. Unless you're being sarcastic. Then never mind...

That's finals.

That's what I assumed initially, but he knows the reaction those emojis will get from Illini fans. He used them when he committed and during his official visit.

Orange and blue are also East St. Louis's colors.
