    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    I definitely feel the pain and anguish from the loss last night. However, nearly every team playing college basketball has a game or two every season that they should have won and let slip away. If we finish strong and make a deep run in the NCAA tournament, we will quickly forget about last...

    Illinois 96, Northwestern 66 Postgame

    Great performance! Incredible defensive tenacity. Northwestern has excellent guard play. Keep in mind, we probably won't shoot 63% from the field for another 20 years. However, we had excellent ball movement and had a lot of great looks. Also, the referees let us play a physical game on the...

    Terrence Shannon Jr. suspended

    The fact the incident happened back in September and charges were just now issued is not uncommon. Sometimes it can take weeks, if not months, until lab work is completed, which includes DNA evidence. Many times, multiple witnesses need to be interviewed by law enforcement. Don't be fooled by...

    Terrence Shannon Jr. suspended

    I am a lawyer, a prosecutor to be specific. I handle sexual assault cases. Rape certainly a form of sexual assault. These cases can drag on for many months and even for more than a year or two. Certainly, this is far more significant than basketball. I do not know anything about the matter...

    Iowa 15, Illinois 13, Postgame

    It was a terrible spot. It was very obvious to everyone on tv. I replayed it on my DVR two times to make sure I wasn't missing something. The referees just plain missed it.

    Illinois 48, Indiana 45 OT Postgame

    Is Malik Elzy injured? Maybe there was an injury announcement that I have missed.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Penn State, Saturday, September 16th, 11:00am CT, FOX

    I find Gus Johnson to be absolutely annoying as a broadcaster! He goes into 'yell' mode and just will not turn it off. He is as equally annoying calling basketball games. Now for the football game... I fully expect us to play better. I'm hoping the crowd is large and loud. This will be Penn...

    Kansas 34, Illinois 23 Postgame

    Let's face it, this game was basically over by halftime. Very disappointing performance by the defense. We gave up a lot of yards and a lot of big plays. At least we showed some fight and grit in the second half. Certainly not the same defense from last year. However, I did not expect this much...

    Illinois 85, Texas 78 OT Postgame

    Another gut wrencher! These games are fun to watch but also hard to watch! So stressful at times

    St. Louis Blues 22-23

    Amazing comeback !! The Blues still need to tighten it up defensively. Tarasenko needs to get out of his slump.

    St. Louis Blues 22-23

    The window is still open for at least the next few years. After that, we will see. The Blues have a lot of money invested in just a handful of players. The Blackhawks did the same thing and were not able to keep significant talent. We have seen what has happened to them. I hope the same thing...
