    I'd take Henson every day and twice on Sunday over Groce Someone also mentioned that most people thought Henson was a great practice coach but not a good in game coach. I never heard that. What I did hear A LOT and agreed with was not many people liked his playing style. It was very slow (Bo...

    I'm with you. Idk why or where people get the idea that HATING to lose as often and as bad as we do and vocalizing it equates to bring a bad fan. I've been a great fan since the mid 70's when illini basketball was fun and exciting. The last 10 years has been horrendous, but we should just sit...

    I don't see AJ leaving. But I do wonder about DJW. For whatever reason he has a very short leash and when he does finally get on the court he gets the hook quickly. His mom isn't too happy about this either
