    This matchup takes me back to the days of Tracy Murray, Don MacLean, Damon Stoudamire and Khalid Reeves

    Illini Basketball 2026-2027

    It's close between these two and TSJ. TSJ had the handles and could go coast to coast with insane body control. Kenny's above the rim, high-energy, acrobatic slam dunks and explosive athleticism. Nick attacked the basket aggressively and rebounded like crazy for his size. Could also throw in...

    Glad NBCSN is on YouTubeTV. I easily canceled Peacock because of this.

    Devries had Wilkerson. He had a scorer but did nothing to help him out. He built a !!!!!! roster much like Woodson. Lot of talent and names but poor fit. It has nothing to do with Iowa having more talent than Indiana or having Stirtz. My point is Devries didn't build a good roster, didn't coach...

    Didn't have anything to do with being handed a roster that was on the cusp of success. Both of them had to pretty much rebuild their rosters. Devries had his pick of who to bring along like McCollum which included Wilkerson but he didn't fill out the roster with good players. McCollum made...

    It's like the Rocky-Apollo 3rd fight.

    I don't think there is much debate about that considering the majority of the champs in this century were a 1 or 2 seed. Florida in 06 was a 3 and UConn in 23 was a 4 seed. Considering that Florida won every game by double digits except one game and UConn won every game by double digits although...

    UConn and Duke were gonna be hard no matter what but you are severely overrating TT especially if no Toppin. Not sure I would describe that game as hard. They didn't exactly set the world on fire with him and Anderson last year and those two won't be playing in this game.

    David Mirkovic suffers left foot injury

    He said 'don't think' we see until 2027. That's not definitive.

    David Mirkovic suffers left foot injury

    I also factor in that with modern medicine and procedures along with his age the recovery time won't be as long. Young bones heal faster🙏

    David Mirkovic suffers left foot injury

    It's not that deep man. He's not out for the season and this happened during the offseason.

    David Mirkovic suffers left foot injury

    It's kind of hard to tell because we don't know the severity of the injury. Our first game is not until 3 months from now.

    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    Anybody judging any of these players off of summer league should settle down. These games are all about chucking shots and sloppy play. These are not the players that the top players will be playing with on a regular basis. I kind of wish it would go away but I know it won't.

    I expect him to be slotted there too considering AD doesn't play for Dallas anymore
