Seems like maybe we need another Ben H. Either as a backup at the 4 or a guard. Someone who is fine with that type of role. Coming from a lower-level program and happy to be on a final four contender and content to be that role guy. And be able to hit 3s. But maybe Ben was also a unicorn in that...

I am confused yet again. Are we talking about getting him for the next year, the 2027-28 season, and not this season? Isn’t Anderson in the class of ’27? Is he re-classifying? By the way, Illinois offered him Feb. 3 of this year.

I have been catching up on the posts. Did I miss something? Seems as if McNeil is or was option number one after Blackwell. Indy wrote last Friday, "And McNeil’s camp says Illinois very much still an option for him … He’s taking the recruiting process slower than most and evaluating his options...

He did not suck. Well, maybe the first game or two. I think he made a bad first impression, and that has stuck with a lot of people. If KW had gone to Minnesota or anywhere else, MP would have been the Illinois PG, and I think he would have been a good one. I see him as “good” Curbello. A pure...

AI also needs a refresher course in grammar. The last sentence should be “Its 24 games…” not It’s. That is only used as a contraction for “it is”. It is not possessive. Yes, I am a grammar nerd. Actually, this may be why it may not have been written by AI. I think AI generally knows correct grammar.

For me, it is very simple. I am in my 70s. I have been watching Illini basketball since 1972. And I would like to see them win a national title before I die. So, although I enjoy the regular season games, I have to put myself in the position that if the Illini don’t win a national title or at...

I am sooo curious as to what your job is (and I know you can’t tell) that you know so many minute details and information about such things mentioned above, specifically here, that not only does a coach from the Midwest have a house in Florida, but also that his in-laws also have a home there...

I hope he isn’t the one on the ground.

If KW had gone to Minnesota or anywhere else, MP would have been the Illinois PG, and I think he would have been a good one. I see him as “good” Curbello. A pure PG. Don’t get me wrong, KW is a far better PG, just saying if he wasn’t here, MP would be starting. He is far from unplayable. Sure...

Maybe he just wanted to give USC fans some glimmer of hope so they wouldn’t turn off their TVs, thus the broadcast would have lower ratings.

I don’t think it was the phone necessarily. I think it was that the guy called Hoiberg, “buddy” in a condescending manner. I would have been irked as well.

I know you didn’t compile the stats above for Keaton, but does anyone know how Mirk compares in the same categories? Maybe I should just go to the Champaign Room and ask there if I can. I think if KW weren’t here, Mirk would be a good candidate for Big Ten Freshman of the Year. So, just curious...

I am an unabashed Petrovic supporter. There were a couple of comments recently ("With Petro borderline unplayable” and “Other than Petrovic, I can't really think of many players under BU that we thought would be a big time player that completely flamed out”) that I think are unfair. If KW had...

You’re right, it’s “who”. It is the subject pronoun of the verb “is”. :) Now back to the regularly scheduled program.
