    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Omg, no there's a name I haven't heard forever - Ace Moore. One of the few morning classes that I made a point of crawling out of bed for. I remember him bringing Ray Eliot into the class to talk about the old days of Illini football. History of Sport - man I loved being an LAS major. 😎

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Me too - can still see Eddie's sweet baseline jumper, followed by absolute pandemonium..🥳 The Saturday lost to Ohio State was such an incredible letdown. I remember that Ohio State team. Lots of future pros (Herb Williams, Kellogg, Ransey, G. Waiters, and, deep on the OSU bench, a future NFL QB...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

    What is with the pace of this game? I thought it was going to be a track meet? They promoted the game by saying "if you like to see offensive basketball, stay tuned". A faster pace would presumably get TSJ going, and would reduce the Clingan half-court D factor. I just dont get it.

    "Ty is our pg" "But in the stretch of the most difficult games, we're not going to play him" "And we're going to turn the ball over again and again late in those games" Somebody reconcile all of that for us please

    As a criminal defense attorney, I commented to one of my colleagues soon after the NIL decision from the Supreme Court that young athletes were now going to be perceived as wealthy, and thus more vulnerable than ever to false accusations. I have in fact defended such cases (not in the NIL...

    Tennessee 86, Illinois 79 Postgame

    LaTulip pointed out that our defense today was actually not too bad, at least according to one key measurement, points per possession. Today that number was 0.96 according to Mike, which he said was pretty good. That number was actually an improvement over the FAU game. I think the problems...

    Great news for Tip - congratulations! But, does that mean that he is not eligible to return?

    Glad to see this. Assuming that he's an interior guy? That's a lot of sacks for an IL.. 👍
