Announcer said as of today Illinois' worst loss was against Wisconsin. If that's true, this has been a very good year of basketball for a team that really had never played together but was incredibly connected, fun to watch (best offense ever, unexpected player development, etc) and with role...

Klay and Tyrese are a poor man’s version of Chuck Norris who once said that he patterns his game after Keaton Wagler.

If we can’t tackle their 4th string running back who is really a convered tight end, this defense has been officially been pronounced dead.

Purdue is just one injury away from being a very average team. We saw this when TKR missed a game or two. Imagine if Brayden went down. Illinois is in a much better position in this regard as we have already seen this team can still be very dangerous even without key players (Tomi, Andrej...

Question: "Who was the Alabama player with quick twitch who could drive basket and drain the three?" Answer: "All of them."

Early take is our new defense coach is a huge upgrade. Course Big Z doesn’t hurt either

Block by Feagin after the play action only thing that allows this TD to happen. Massive!

This defense which relies heavily on turnovers is the equivalent of a three point reliant basketball team. Great when it works. Sucks when the three-pointers don’t go in or you don’t get turnovers.

Should we rename this thread as “Illinois vs. Ryan Walters?” That would spice it up. I had almost forgotten he was their defense coach after he shamefully sneaked out of Purdue under the cover of darkness.

Barry Lunney = chessmaster. Every time they took something away he was ready for his next move.

Who is using the portal from Asgaard to save the beloved?

ONE THING becoming more apparent every game is Brad genius in roster construction. This is an incredibly balanced roster with great skill mix and no egos to get in the way. All pretty much from scratch. A lot of good coaches out there who can recruit but have wrong mix of roster (see Bail and Cal)

If a Brad hater falls in the woods after a 20 point blow out win against BT leader on the road and no one is around, do they make a noise?

Great game to feature Tomi with 7 foot Serbian recruit in the house
