    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Greatly appreciate you, Indy, 0440 and the few others that bring what the rest of us don't know and want to know. This is not a knock on you at all but we have heard Brad is cooking for a while now. Thought Storr was a done deal and then thought Maddox was a lock. Looks like will go 0-2. If...

    I like Domask but I think they need Storr for the scoring. They lose so much with Shannon gone. And I think when you got to March you need more athletes.

    Games Thread - The National Championship

    Purdue looked good in the 1st half but UCONN is just too good. Bama ended up giving UCONN the best game.

    Other than Boswell, what are the other possible point guard options? Seems like a pretty key piece to add for next year.

    I agree that is a ton but on a positive note, Alabama last 57% of their point production last year. Only 3 guys remained from the 2022-2023 team. Lost Brandon Miller, Noah Clowney and Charles Bediako to the draft and had Jaden Bradley transfer to Arizona and Jahvon Quinerly leave for Memphis...

    So what position is Ty in your starting lineup? Do you believe that he can contribute more than 6 points/game next year?

    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    That was painful. I had an obligation Saturday night so when I got home it was halftime. They were only down 5 and I considered that a huge victory. I had hope. I could not tune in right after halftime so I turned it on with about 12 minutes left maybe and it was 58-23. I actually thought...

    Pregame: Illinois vs UConn, Saturday, March 30th, 5:09pm CT, TBS

    Line is +9.5 right now. If they are within that spread, I would consider that quite a feat. I think they have almost no weaknesses.

    Illinois 72, Iowa State 69 Postgame

    I am just glad Terrance Shannon is on this team. 40% of the offense. Man do I wish he had another year here.

    He looked really bad against Clemson last night. As did most of the guys on Arizona.

    Is there a Terrance Shannon clone out there?

    Illinois 85, Morehead State 69 Postgame

    I live in South Carolina so don't get to see many games. Can anyone explain to me how Dain is not more impactful during the season? I don't see many guys that big with as much skill as he has. Very old school talent post moves. Reminds me of Akeem and he can use the glass like Pippen. So...

    NIL is a flat out joke. I get it that kid's make the money for the schools and coaches can just quit whenever and move one. The kids need to be able to have that same freedom but this is beyond ridiculous. And I am a Bama fan. Proctor coming back helps but this is silly and wrong.

    I just feel awful for Iowa on this one.

    Big Ten All-Conference Awards

    Painter is incredibly overrated as a coach. Sorry. The guy almost always has at least one awesome player on his team. Who wouldn't win with the team he has the last 4-5 years?
