    UConn won two straight years of all games in the tourney by double digits. It’s been a long time since we were in a game that big. This is how you build a program. Trust in Brad!

    Agree! We're deep. That's what can carry us deep. Morehead St. got tired tonight.

    Illinois 85, Morehead State 69 Postgame

    I was only reacting to the post about the post game with the head coach and the players. They were class acts! Fans are fans.

    Illinois 85, Morehead State 69 Postgame

    I really appreciate you posting this. Class acts! Their coach is teaching things way beyond basketball and our world needs that right now. Now I’ll focus on basketball as long as this train rolls but remember be good people work hard believe in something bigger than yourself and if you do those...

    Illinois 93, Wisconsin 87 - Big Ten Tournament Champions

    Quietly averaged 21-7-8 in the semis and finals. Nothing quiet about that.

    Big Ten All-Conference Awards

    I agree with pretty much everything you said. The one thing I'd throw out there is that Brad lead us to a 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in 2020-21, which in and of itself is deserving of coach of the year in the conference. But considering it was only his third season and how bad we were for...

    If this is true the committee needs to take into account that we lost 2 games in a 5 game stretch when our best player was out. If our best player plays all year we likely go 25-6 in the regular season. In addition, we didn't lose back to back games all year, nor did we lose by double digits all...

    Have a hard time agreeing with this. Purdue has been consistently good for a while now. Part of being a good coach is getting the good players. Sure, getting upset early last year was a stunner for them, but that's one game. If you take his full body of work at Purdue, it's pretty darn good.

    I'm probably bias but I feel like our opponents often hit tough shots. Kudos to them! But to respond to your post, which I like. I feel like we'll go turbo on them!!!

    Pregame: Illinois vs Minnesota, Wednesday, February 28th, 8:00pm CT, BTN

    I have no problem with what you said. However, if this steam is sneaky good and they are fighting for a post season bid they will give it their all to win this game. I'll be happy with a win. We have been a top 15 team most of the season. Second in the Big 10 for a big chunk of the season. One...

    Illinois 95, Iowa 85 Postgame

    Wasn’t necessarily saying they’re gassed but big minutes in most games during a long season can certainly take a toll. By giving some of the other guys more tick our starters would certainly have fresher legs come tournament time.
