    Wisconsin 92, Illinois 90 OT Postgame

    This. We lose 2 games in a row. One very physical, poorly officiated but hang in and lose in ot. The second a grinder with one of our primary creators out and only playing six guys and again lose a tight one in OT. Common denominators in both: free throws, silly t.o.s, and poor rebounding...

    UConn 74, Illinois 61 Postgame

    Beating a dead horse (maybe maybe not, but not gonna weed through all the bs complaints in here). We played terrible. But if not for a blown shot clock call we are within 7 with plenty of time. All while play terrible. We are effin good. Period. Gel and get guys healthy. We run to final 4

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Isn’t the usual saying where there’s smoke there’s fire. I get some leave for $$$ but let’s take DGL for example here. By all accounts early season he showed glimpses and was really a ball of energy off the bench and facilitated change when we were down. And then poof. He was down and out...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa, Tuesday, February 25th, 8:00pm CT, FS1

    Couple of things. We were told to be patient during recruiting that the staff was “cooking“. And by all accounts, we killed it recruiting now we are at a point where multiple fans are calling for the head of every Coach saying things like Coach has lost his fire he’s too soft. Interestingly...

    Pregame: Illinois at Minnesota, Saturday, February 8th, 5:00pm CT, BTN

    All for having some old heads, but I could do without a roster full of them. Think someone said in postgame (DB11headband maybe?) keep 5-6 from current squad and move forward. Hopefully a mix of young and older guys. Getting older is great but you get all old guys you’re relying on portal every...

    Maryland 91, Illinois 70 Postgame

    The first point just no. NBA teams aren’t drooling over a of that can’t handle the rock. If anything he’s just soft with the basketball and tries to make things happen that aren’t there. I don’t think will is lost. I think he’s tall but small. Needs Fletch time. But he’s gotta want to develop...

    Maryland 91, Illinois 70 Postgame

    Drop some knowledge on us…who is it. At least some hints Gotta be some getting less tick…and if not the minutes should dwindle. While I get this is a “business” now, if you have verbalized you no longer have a vested interest in the company I believe I, in Coach’s shoes, would tell you to kick...
