One of the positives of the Coleman entering the portal rumors that started popping up yesterday is that now the news of him officially entering the draft is a happy occasion. Obviously we would have all loved to have him back for a fifth year, but if he had hit the portal, that would have...

Goode is Portaling, Coleman rumors are flying and now Marcus' beloved ride is dead! I wish we could go back to a better time, like last night around 6pm.

I never thought the day would come where there would be genuine excitement at the idea of landing a Chicago State transfer, but these are strange times.

No arguments about that year being rough, but that DePaul team had two future NBA players on the roster in Paul Reed and Max Strus compared to none for the Illini. I imagine Tim Anderson had something to do with bringing in that level of talent. I remember watching the game and thinking Strus...

I feel like Brad might seem like a disappointment for many UK fans. Obviously we realize what a fantastic job he's done to get the program back on track, but for BBN fans looking at his resume, he has one trip to the second weekend and he's never recruited a top 25 player. Oates and Drew both...

As a Bulls fan I'd like to think losing Billy Donovan to a college job would be embarrassing enough to get the front office fired. But then I remember that Jerry Reinsdorf is the owner and getting embarrassed appears to be his kink.

In terms of playing time or style, I don't see how it would change much from this year. TSJ and Domask worked great together and Storr is much more of a TSJ replacement than a Domask replacement. The only issue I would see it creating is if there is enough $$ to go around, which it seems like...

Enfield was already getting big name recruits, just like Muss does. Muss is a better overall coach I believe although as @illini0440 mentions, he tends to burn out quickly.

It was three years ago to the day that Adam Miller announced he was transferring! I remember because everyone was questioning if it was an April Fool's Day bit.

I don't know why but I do not have the same intense nervous feeling that I had before the games last Thursday and Saturday. I think it's the relief of finally breaking through to the Sweet 16. So all that is left is the excitement of potentially making the Elite 8. The dread of falling short...

Who is getting the putback dunk off of their own missed three to swing the game for the Illini? Seems like something Quincy could pull off. Obviously TSJ is the most obvious choice athletically but QG plays more like Roger Powell so he's a good fit.

It also seems to be that many neutral observers from the national media are picking us, not out of disrespect for Iowa State, but because they are much more excited by an Illinois-UConn matchup. I think if it were a game earlier in the tournament or just a regular season matchup, the...

It's at a restaurant, he thinks he's just going out with his wife and parents. Not even sure if they have TV's there.

Realizing your best friend's surprise 40th birthday party starts at 8pm on Saturday...

Duquesne's offense the last 4-5 minutes has been abysmal. Just iso ball that ends in a long pull up jumper every time down.
