Holy moly, I'm not panicking, guys. It's just a wild, momentary blip that's probably rare to see an eighth of the way into the season or whatever. If anything, it's just an endorsement of how solid a spring the Central has had. The Cubs are fine. It's April. Enjoy the nerd stuff and early...

Call Vegas. Where will they set the over/under for how many SECONDS before student tickets sell out? I'll say 299. :illinois: :ah: :illinois:

The Cubs have the third best run differential in all of MLB. The Cubs are alone in last place in their division. WIld. It's early, but not THAT early.

I agree on the draw and have been telling others the same. They had a good season by our standards and expectations. The point is that they were the preseason #1. They were repeatedly abused on their home court. While they can claim success, they had a bad season by their standards and...

Even if our dreams come true with a group like that, doesn't it feel like we're going to see even more consolidation with some schools like BYU buying an NBA roster? Also.. expectations. I would much rather have another season like we just had vs. the one Purdue had.

You know what? Past tense now needed. Obligatory "THANK YOU" to Trent Frazier and Ayo Dosunmu.

I'm torn. I want my Illini to get VCU. I also want them to get UNC. I guess I don't care as long as Penn doesn't get either of them!

I am so damn proud of Minnesota planting and keeping their flag on #13 all season... just a thing of beauty to see expectations fulfilled so well.

SEEING REDD, BOYS!!!!

The force was not with AJ on that launch :ROFLMAO:

While that sucks to hear, it was different years and different timing. Adjusted for NIL inflation, it's probably far from outrageous.

I'm unimpressed by the orange team so far. The M team is pretty sloppy but locks things down. Boswell kid looks super tough.

Well, I think he did. Every staff I've been around has been quick to notice short shots, and I'm sure high major is no different. And Brad, who is usually loathe to accept getting tired as an excuse, said as much after the game. The guys let themselves exhale then couldn't bring it back...

Won't have B10 refs to worry about. Can just go play. Staff can coach us through that.

Hindsight, but yes, it was obvious a few baskets in that Tomo didn't have it and Z was needed. Can't rebound makes. With that said, refs called fouls on EVERY hint of defense. Very tough to know what the hell to do. It's unlikely to matter when it comes down to it. No better than 2nd in...
