Doesn’t that just mean we don’t know if Illinois will be a super team too by that logic? Bringing back a final 4 team that (as great as Wagler is) lost much less than floridas championship team the year prior. People are basically mad we don’t have the indisputable, undeniable best team in the...

… his school was ranked 4th in the country and played a national schedule. He averaged more than 30 a game in the city of palms classic, which is the most prestigious high school tournament in the country… lol his high school faced high level competition

God why are so many of our fans so unable to realize there are hardly any teams ever that you walk into the next season completely knowing you are the top 1 or 2 team in the country. Like outside of maybe that Baylor team in 2020-2021 that returned everyone from the insane Covid team, it hasn’t...

Maybe I’m overthinking, but assuming stoj comes back, is Blackwell a major plus for the squad? Because if the 2 main freshman are as good as I think they are, that’ll be 8 HIGH IQ, HIGH talent guys, with 4 ball handlers on the court at one time and an even better mirk to run the offense out of...

Diop?

I got a gut feeling we won’t be able to keep stojakovic

I think there is a chance this Illinois team is very special. Championship teams always have a consistency and interconnectedness where everyone becomes interchangeable (Uconn, UVA, Nova, Kansas, etc...), and you know what you're going to get each night. This team has that feel. Only time I've...

Refs let some fouls go at the end, but at the same time BigZ was going down because he was expecting foul calls and in the wagler call, if there is a hook refs will usually call it even without a hold. Either way Iowa tightened up defensively and made it a challenge, but a bunch of guys made big...

God this fan base is dramatic. That's a ~top 15 Nebraska team that had a real good shooting night. We aren't a defensive team and we knew that. But we weren't up and down or let their runs kill us (like people here were saying whenever it got to like 8). Both teams made plays, they just made the...

God this blog is getting annoying. The guy is jacking them, this is simply an incredible shooting performance. Slow starts happen. Unlike past teams we havent folded and are going blow for blow and sticking around (remember rutgers last year). Want us to be up on everyone by 10 points going into...

Im going to be honest, there is a bit too much reliance on “insiders” sometimes… it’s beneficial when we get some background information, but the end results are rarely correct… Lville treats it with respect and ensures the uncertainty in everything… not sure why this “insider” throws outlandish...
