    Somewhere, John Groce is breathing a sigh of relief. At long last, he no longer has to count…🙏

    Pregame: Illinois vs UConn, Saturday, March 30th, 5:09pm CT, TBS

    No matter what happens, this has been such a special season in my household. My wife calls all the players by their first name and cried tonight because they “feel like family.” My kids know every player and are constantly throwing out “I-L-L’s” to me around the house. The 04-05 season made me a...

    Same. Me: *30 minutes ago* “I need to take a break from the Illini for a while.” My Wife: *15 minutes ago* “You’re on Loyalty? Breaks over? Me: Yep…

    Thought the same thing. I’ll fully admit I sure didn’t appreciate Gentry like I should when he was here…

    @Indy Illini Fan @LvilleILL @illini0440 I’ve got to imagine that Hamer’s influence on the defense is maddening to Chester, TA, and Geoff isn’t it? Gotta be a point of contention amongst the staff?

    Howard looked like a man who is 100% gone and knows it. Every time the camera showed him he seemed to have the “I couldn’t care less” smile on his face. Gonna miss that guy…

    This makes no sense. (Not your comment). How much responsibility does have with the defense? When did this change occur or has it been all season? Because we sure aren’t the same defensive team as early on

    Xs and Os aside, we look like a team that is absolutely emotionally drained. Think the TSJ stuff took more of a toll (and is still) than we realize. Maybe I’m oversimplifying things, but we don’t look like a team that’s having fun right now. Totally opposite of what I saw before TJ went out...
