I'm happy with BU going to the bank every year if the Final Four (and national championship) is going to be a stop along the way. 😁

Man, we have really slammed on the brakes this off season.... I guess the excitement could only last for so long.

I'll never claim to be the sharpest tack in the drawer, but this statement is baffling. I don't think Morillo was recruited or intended to be a Humrichous replacement. Other than Morillo being tall for a guard, their games are not really comparable.

I totally agree, but watching his video gives me Wagler vibes. A repeat Wagler would be catching lightning in a bottle. I would be extremely happy with serviceable contribution and ecstatic if he was a poor man's Keaton Wagler.

No. He had a decent stretch in, at most, the third quarter of the season. Otherwise, the large majority of his shots were ill-advised and appeared selfish. You are right, Mayer wasn't a good ball handler, which is a not a good reason to take bad shots. If he was looking to make the team better...

I could not disagree more with this assessment of Mayer. Regardless of whether he was playing his ideal position or not, he could have had far better shot selection. I don't think there has ever been more contested step back 3s attempted in the history of basketball. To be fair, there was no...

What happened to Royal signing with UConn? I guess he didn't want to warm the bench after all.

😑 I'm tired of playing that guy.

Elation and gratitude for Keaton. Sadness for Illini Nation. Keaton Wagler is a generational diamond in the rough, which means a lot of us will not see another player like him in our lifetime... But, I live in Oklahoma, so my experience is that lightning could still strike twice for us!

"Depth piece" was a little generous on this one... 😜

My brother said the Monical's in Olney doesn't taste the same as it used to -- it'll never be the same or as good as it was in the strip mall on Rt 130. Regardless, you should've went to Joe's.

Enjoy the bench Devin. If you're starting, which I hope you are, you're right where the rest of us want UConn.

A few weeks ago, there were some posts that the Tomi and Big Z may have had their fill of college basketball and may not return to any NCAA team, including Illinois? Was that speculation based on how they felt during a down-period or slump? Is there more optimism that they'll stay? I know...
