    Illinois 91, Michigan 87 2OT Postgame

    This…Nick really was a force of nature on the basketball court when he decided we were not going to lose. I graduated in ’89 and played a couple of games with Nick at IMPE…well, I touched the ball a couple of times anyway. “Nick the Quick” was an absolute stud!! The way the final four game...

    Don't get me wrong, I have been enamored with Ty since the early part of the season...even though he made a fair share of mistakes and lots of misses, he showed another gear. That said, Barkley was an athletic freak. I suspect that you stated that tongue in cheek...didn't see the emoji though...

    Are you serious? It's a made up organization. Do you understand what real ethics entail and where it should be applied? They're a college group that wanted a block of tickets for a rivalry game. Oh the humanity! Have we lost our collective minds that their actions require of apology??? Geesh!!!

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

    You can’t create a locker room issue by calling them out once afternpiss poor game. If that was the case, this team never had a chance to be good. That’s softer than charmin and soft doesn’t win a championship. This team lacks leadership. Leaders hold themselves and their teammates...

    Unless your name is Kofi and you play for Illinois. The no calls on Kofi were a travesty, but to be fair, that happened all year long.

    Ty Rodgers on the USA U18 National Team

    And a better ball handler with good vision/passing. Remains to be seen if he is an equitable compare on defense, but heart appears very high.

    Deon sat out 89/90 season, not 88/89, the year Nick, Gill, Liberty, Battle and Hamilton were all together. But your point stands without adding Deon to the mix. That was an extremely talented team by HS ranking and by performance relative to other top teams that year.
