    My man packed Foellinger Auditorium on the regular. Good times. Close contest between Scanlon and Fred Gottheil for the GOAT. (99% chance I misspelled either Foellinger or Gottheil).

    Whatever. That was like ONE day before it broke. All this proves is that Indy has access to information that we don’t, and shares it on this board before it becomes common knowledge. Ooooh, so special! /s Superill has been added to the island of ignore

    Appreciate the number of folks so openly volunteering themselves for the ignore button today… you’re really driving efficiency.

    Utilizing the ignore button on the poster you were responding to here has been my best Loyalty move to date.

    6 of 7 UConn players have offensive rebounds, yet I can’t remember a Purdue transition basket. How does that happen when you’ve got Edey?

    If I’m drafting a team for one game vs the aliens to save the world, I’m taking Brandon Paul over Malcolm Hill. But BP3 is one of my all-time favorites. I was going to look up the stats, but then I remembered this is the internet and I don’t need to support my assertions:) Edit: I looked up...

    Gritty, you just forgot to add, “this should probably all add up to 1st Team All Big Ten”. I’m sure everyone here would’ve respected that assessment.

    Silliness. A last second buzzer beater would be a groin kick loss. Loyola was a groin kick loss. Robbed by the refs. Best player gets hurt. When you have a team you think can win it all, the last loss is always a groin kick. Elite 8 helps the program BTT champions helps the program Domask’s...

    Domask alone makes this year’s transfer group “super incredible”. There are only five spots for all big ten first team… to get one with a low-NIL transfer is insane. With TSJ and Hawkins returning, it’s not like we were offering “alpha” spots.

    Spend the $ on Boswell and Storr (and maybe Dain?)… fill in with role players. I could like that.

    Agreed. I really hope TSJ is completely innocent. But regardless, the University did a great job of protecting themselves with how the suspension/injunction worked out. Signing this dude would undo that protection in my opinion. I would hope Whitman vetoes this one.

    The NIL piece makes it all very interesting. Dain isn’t gonna get NBA money, so he absolutely should be looking to maximize his college basketball income. And Illinois needs to decide if they’re willing to match his best offer for an offensively-skilled, but defensively-limited big man.

    We had two possible ways to win: 1. Bench Clingan with fouls 2. Shoot lights out We failed SPECTACULARLY at both. If you take out our 1 for 19 second half start… we still only shot 33%.

    For all those who poo-poo the Big Ten Tournament, today was a good reminder of why conference tournaments are great. 67 out of 68 NCAA tournament teams end their season with a loss. So glad we got to enjoy a three game run against conference rivals that ended with cutting of nets and a trophy...
