On the final day of the B1G conference season, Goode will drain a buzzer beater 3 to beat whatever team is competing for the regular season championship with us (maybe USC?), clinching the title for the Illinois. The prophecy has spoken.

It would be incredibly satisfying to see Daddy Brad slow play everything, giving teams like Indiana and Michigan hope that they will be better than us, but then we wind up with a loaded transfer class that puts us as undisputed B1G favorites. Jones and Humrichous would be the perfect start...

Any rumors on what (if any) non-con tourney we will be in? A matchup with West Virginia would be pretty entertaining for obvious reasons.

So basically a Quincy replacement? Hopefully better/more consistent shooting but worse defender and rebounder?

Is Humrichous 1 of the 2?

So 4 transfers still coming in, eh? Dream scenario... Jones Brea Cardett 5 man But I would assume we couldn't get all 3 of those guys so more realistic would be... Jones Brea Harmon type role guard 5 man

Paying a C a crazy amount of $ is like an NFL team paying big for a RB. It just doesn't make sense. Give me a team loaded at 1-4 plus a serviceable big man, and that big man will look very good with the talent around him. Similar to a RB with a good o-line and QB.

Didn't watch him or Memphis at all this past season. His 3pt % took a massive jump, from 29% to 38%. That was the big question mark against him. Could the argument be made that he's better than Storr? Genuine question since I didn't watched any Memphis games.

I find it very intriguing we haven't heard many names for the mystery transfer 5, but insiders have confirmed we will be getting one. Makes me think we are trying to keep things under wraps because.... A) It's a lower profile guy that we don't want others teams gaining interest in. A "diamond...

Any chance Gentry is coming back?

Sounds good to me! And if most of the roles are already set, Brad can go big name hunting for new additions next off season to compliment Fears. AJ Dybantsa come on down?

Is Xavier Booker still planning on hitting the portal? And would we pursue? Thought I heard rumors during the season that he was unhappy.

Can we go back to guessing which players in the final 4 are hitting the portal? Imagine a front court of Coleman Hawkins and Grant Nelson. (Highly unlikely, I know)

Alabama vs Clemson tickets going for around $25 right now on stubhub. Illinois vs UConn going for $315.

Every 1 and 2 seed is in for a tough battle except for Arizona IMO. Some very good games on paper. I think 3 of the 8 will fall this weekend. No idea who but my guess is Marquette, Houston, and Iowa St. NW and MSU will hang tough but fall off the last 5-7 min.
