I don’t know if we will get there but I can’t like this enough. On paper we have an extremely talented and experienced squad and right now, on paper is all anyone has! This team has the opportunity to be special again this year. I like our chances. ILL…

If you’ve seen this kid play you love this pickup. Also, great to beat out Bucky for their best again.

Quick question for anyone who knows - speaking of hopefully having the full team together all summer, are we scheduled for an overseas trip this year?

Amazing how the love of sports can mean so much. I’m not a Cubs fan but got to enjoy their World Series win with my mom before she passed. Her excitement was infectious. Rest in peace to all of our departed Mamey’s! 🙏

Illini Cooked the Birds! Time for dinner! Neighbors are honking for the decorations! Also absolute justice watching Satan have to talk about an Illinois Final Four! Hail to the Chief!

Traveling for work - anyone know of a bar in Schaumburg that will have the game tonight?

Tonight kinda went the way I expected it to. Two good offensive teams but one of them has a more physical and athletic presence and plays better defense.

Might be the most blatant example of 8vs5 I’ve seen in a long time

My wife has been struggling with Big Z’s name all year. I went into the kitchen to grab a refill and I hear her say “good job Zorro” I came in and asked who she was talking about and she said “Z - because he’s wearing the mask.” She also just referred to Ben as “Hummerhouse” Never a dull day here!

Seems we overestimated our guys appreciation of the opponent being undefeated and looking for more. They didn’t come here to lose.

In terms of atmosphere - I agree with this being a game where Illini fans that went really wanted to be there. Thankfully we have a large group of old money season ticket holders that help support the program but they aren’t typically the crowd that takes the roof off the building. From where I...

Anybody know if there’s a replay scheduled for BTN?

Think we need to admit we don’t have the level of talent and athleticism we need to take the next step. Luke has really played well but is often limited due to poor line play and no other real stars to line up with. Love Hank but honestly other BIG coaches don’t have to scheme for him. He’s not...

Never got off it!
