Seed in the tournament doesn't matter. Look at last year and when Illinois was the #1 seed a few years ago. It's all about will to win and being able to make in game adjustments. Go ILLINI!

I have been a fan of Illinois basketball for the past 15 years and watched a lot of Illinois basketball over the past 12 years. Nothing short of a great season and a turning point for Illini basketball and ILLINI NATION despite the NCAA tournament and Big Ten Tourney being cancelled. Even more...

I've been an Illini fan for the last 14 years and have been to a number of Illinois games over the last 10 years. This loss is inexcusable and shows the following: 1. Brad Underwood is not the right coach for this team and the jump to the big ten may have been too much for him too fast. 2. This...

Going to be a tough match up against MSU. Didn't think this team would be going 0-7 to start conference play. This team can needs a player like Tracy Abrams, Chester Frazier, Sam McClaurin, Jon Ekey who bleed orange and blue and care more about the name on the front of the uniform than the name...

I know the NIT doesn't mean much, but a solid run in this tournament with an interim head coach can showcase to prospective coaches that there is talent on this roster that can win some games in the future.

Anyone else notice former Illini player Mike LaTulip who transferred to Wright State visits Illinois right before the game against Valpo? Gotta wonder if he brought any of Wright State's scouting reports on Valpo with him since both schools are in the same conference...

I was at the Michigan game yesterday. I also went to the BYU game in Chicago. I have been a fan of Illini basketball since the national championship game against UNC and have watched a ton of games over the last 10 years. Illini Nation should be proud of Tracy Abrams and the effort he brought...

I'll be at every game the Illini are playing at in DC in the B10 tournament this year. Hoping for one last run from this Illinois team to make the NCAA tournament. Even with a #9 seed in the B10 tournament anything is possible. Back in 2011, UCONN had the #9 seed in the big east tournament and...

Like I said yesterday on this forum before the Nebraska game. I believe Illinois has the talent and upperclassmen to "win out" their last three games and "run the table" in the big ten tournament. They've gotta take it one game at a time and bring their best defense to each game to have a shot...

I still believe this team has the talent and upperclassmen to "win out" their last three games and "run the table" in the big ten tournament. Gotta take it one game at a time at this point and bring their best defensive effort in the remainder of their games for Illinois to have a chance.

Hoping the Illini can end this losing streak. There's a ton of talent on this roster. I still believe this Illini team can "win out" the rest of their nonconference schedule and make a run at the NCAA tournament. It starts with the players bringing toughness and togetherness to every game and...

Does anyone know when tickets to the Illini vs BYU game at the United Center go on sale? I'm really looking forward to that game.

I wouldn't be against an established college coach either. As long as we don't poach another career assistant from a mid major.

Personality may not fit, but that can probably be said about a lot of college coaches. That's why you add a few Illini alumni like Dee Brown or Roger Powell as assistants. It worked for SMU with Larry Brown and it has shown on the court and in recruiting.

It would take a bit of cash, but Illinois should consider Tom Thibodeau as coach. It would help immensely in recruiting (being former NBA coach who coach USA olympic teams, coached NBA all star games, coached NBA MVP's, and is well known in Chicago). He wouldn't tolerate the nonsense that has...
