    Thank you for saying this! I couldn't agree with you more.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    I was shocked when he was voted as an all defensive player. He had his fair share of trouble defensively in my opinion. I expect a "lock down" guy when I see an all defensive list but he was far from that. Was he an above average defender, yes. A great defender no. Just my opinion.

    I have heard if Michigan State offers, he will go there. As of now, he would go to the beloved. Not sure how accurate this is but this is the rumor that I have been hearing.

    NBA Draft

    I agree with you but I don't think he will even be able to sniff Gobert socks. I could very well be wrong but I just do not see him being anything real in the NBA. IMO he would be a bust.

    NBA Draft

    I would not touch Maluach. I see a less than Mo Bamba type career in the NBA. I really just do not see it with him. He has the length and athleticism but I do not see the skill in any way.

    Rutgers 82, Illinois 73 Postgame

    I definitely noticed that too. I thought it was kind of odd.

    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...
