    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    Gotta give props to Whitman. This could never happen without his willingness to put up the money.

    That’s about all that makes sense with the opportunities given him. Showed enough for the $$ to come calling.

    Illini Women's Basketball 2023-2024

    Congrats to the ladies and I couldn’t be more proud of the way they turned this season around. Special props to KB. She’s not the most talented on the team, but she’s my favorite player. I wish the season wasn’t over, we are playing so well lately!!

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Chester Frazier was about as bad it gets and he was able to develop a decent shot. I see no reason Ty isn’t capable of something similar.

    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    One of the most physical games I can remember at this level of the tourney. They pushed our guards out so far we could never get in any rhythm and driving the middle was a disaster. Hard to complain because I think the better team won, but wish a few things had gone our way and we could have...

    NCAA Tournament Bracket

    I saw the brackets and thought, well at least we won’t be complaining about the seedlings this year. I don’t know what i was thinking. Lol.

    Purdue 77, Illinois 71 Postgame

    If we aren’t going to be a great defensive team, we just can’t have an off night shooting against a good team. I think it’s that simple. When QG is on his game, I don’t think anyone can beat us. He has got to start playing up to his potential for us to go far. We are good without him, but with...

    Illinois 91, Wisconsin 83 Postgame

    I’ve said it a couple times now. Domask isn’t our best athlete or best player. But imo he’s been our most valuable player. Leads the team in points, rebounds, and assists. How did this guy spend 4 years in the Valley??

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa, Saturday, February 24th, 1:15pm CT, BTN

    I can’t tell how much is effort and how much is scheme. LaTulip has talked several times about how we aren’t putting guys in situations to do well defensively. Too many different things being done instead of being really really good at one base defense. Players at times seem to be unsure what...

    I would think his B10 gig would pay better but I have no knowledge.

    Michigan State 88, Illinois 80 Postgame

    It’s seldom called in recent times. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I saw it called. I’m not saying never, but it’s about like traveling these days. Has to be egregious or it’s an automatic no-call.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

    We know who the best player is, but is Domaask our most valuable player?
