And all from an unheralded freshman. Stepping back and looking at what he did this season, it is beyond amazing. Has there ever been an under rated freshman exceed expectations the way he has? And such a great attitude. Don't expect to ever see something like that again.

I have his Cub Bobblehead from 2016. Hope he hits 700 HRs. Maybe it will be worth something someday. :)

Does he tip 15% or 20%? Is that the context for Jimmy?

Was following Fred Couples hoping he could make the cut. Was 2 under and took a 9 on 15, 5 on 16 and 6 on 17. 8 over for 3 holes. Still not bad for a 66 year old.

I am rooting for Michigan to stomp UCONN by 30 to watch Hurley have a coronary. Also my son-in-law is a big Michigan fan and a granddaughter is a Michigan grad. Cannot stand Hurley. His first quote in the news conference after the Illinois game was about how they had beat Illinois in the Fall...

As someone who played in the 60's when any contact was a foul, I find it hard to understand how they determine what is or is not a foul. It has to be frustrating for players. However, it appears that more and more teams are going with a foul every time approach because they can't call them all.

Disappointed but not disheartened. The ball bounced unbelievably bad for Illinois tonight as has been noted in early posts. Any of those go the other way and it is a different game.

It's a sign. In 2004 I drove to the Illinois Lake Forest game with a friend. As we headed toward Champaign all of the overpasses refleted bright orange from the sun. We took that as a SIGN that Illinois would prevail. Turned out to be one of the greatest games. Yesterday Artremis II launched...

Mirk and Keaton will not let us lose.

Wipe out. Just like Illinois Wake Forest 2004. Such a blow out, it may not even be worth watching. Most will tune out and go to bed early. :)

Our Freshmen will not allow us to lose this game. Mirk and Keaton are focused and intense.

That will set a new precedent. Quit your team early in order to get another year of eligibility. So if things don't work out when you transfer just drop out by mid season and preserve your eligibility to enter the portal for the next year. If you do it twice and have only played a third of the...

Underwood has said that coaching with his son and having his family around has been great. Said during the early years he spent a lot of time away from them. At his age do you think he wants to go back to that? He has his assistants traveling the world recruiting and his son on the bench with...

Texas beat Gonzaga. Let the refs know. They have their double digit seed.

Very one sided calls against Illinois.
