    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Probably didn't make it because he is committed to the beloved. If he was a Duke or UNC commit, he would for sure be an MCA.

    Ayo Dosunmu suffers facial injury

    I broke my nose in college during practice. We had a game 2 nights later and I played with a mask. With that said, we dont know how bad his broken nose is but my doctor said i had a pretty good break that didnt require surgery. I got fitted for a mask and had it by the next game. I am no...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa, Friday, January 29th, 8:00pm CT, FS1

    I didn't mean beat them down on the scoreboard...I mean beat them down in the "fighting" during and after the game. They obviously both don't like each other as everyone here knows that. I do with we could have the Orange Krush tonight. State Farm Center would have been rocking tonight!!

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa, Friday, January 29th, 8:00pm CT, FS1

    I hope Iowa isn't hot tonight from 3. It will be alot of trouble if they are. This game scares me because how we beat them down last year. they will want to destroy us. With that said, I think we win 87-83. GO ILLINI!

    Missouri 81, Illinois 78 Postgame

    Very disappointing night for us all. We are the better team but we came out with no energy to start the game. I think that the team thought they could turn it on at any moment. That doesnt ever bode well. The refs were absolutely awful on both sides. It is inexcusable for refs to call 52...

    Illinois 83, Duke 68 Postgame

    Thats what leaves are for right? :ROFLMAO: I will be pretty upset if they decided to not go on with the season. The last two seasons are our best teams since the 05 team and we cant even get a chance to see their full potential. The silver lining though is that if we had a tourney last season...

    Illinois 83, Duke 68 Postgame

    I absolutely loved everything about the game except a few of those turnovers. The offensive rebounds were because Duke missed so badly. We are a solid rebounding team so im not too worried about that. One thing i noticed and im sure we all have noticed is Kofi is so weak with the ball inside...

    Pregame: Illinois at Duke, Tuesday, December 8th, 8:30pm CT, ESPN

    I totally understand and agree with you that he could make good money playing overseas sooner rather than later. If he would decide to forego his final two years to make money, I wouldnt blame him. I wouldnt think very many players would leave knowing that the NBA wasnt much of an option (if...

    Pregame: Illinois at Duke, Tuesday, December 8th, 8:30pm CT, ESPN

    I have said that all year. I just dont see his game translating to the NBA ever unless he gets a consistent jumper. Even then, he is a long shot. His skillset just does not bode well for the NBA. 15 years ago, yes, he would have been a lottery pick. If he end up leaving before his senior...

    Pregame: Illinois at Duke, Tuesday, December 8th, 8:30pm CT, ESPN

    I am usually a very optimistic person but being a Chicago sports fan(minus the Cubs) and an avid Illini fan, I am programmed to think the worst will happen. I hope that I am wrong but I dont see us winning tonight. I will definately watch and cheer on our beloved Illini hopefully to a win.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs North Carolina A&T

    Trent from the corner will hit a 3 to start the season. Who do you think will start? Ayo, Kofi, Trent, Williams, Miller? I feel GB will be solid off the bench this year. Is it 1 yet?

    Illinois postpones high school basketball season

    I honestly dont see how we can make the players wear masks. As a high school coach in the Chicagoland area, the kids are struggling during these 20 contact days. A game is a whole different speed than practice no matter what you do. It's a contact sport. You're already sharing the ball...

    Illinois postpones high school basketball season

    Long time reader of this forum and huge Illini fan. I appreciate all of the inside knowledge and conversations I read on a daily basis. I believe the IHSA said yes to allow basketball to start on time because they want to be the good guy in the fight. When the state or districts shut it down...
