    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Good luck to Ty. Sucks to see him go, and I would have liked to see him compete for a spot on the roster, but he has to do what's right for him.

    UConn 71, Illinois 62 Postgame

    Great season. It was all we could have hoped for, save for a natty. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am thoroughly sick and tired of UConn.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

    Sitting in my house in Yola, Nigeria, waiting for the 11:00 p.m. tipoff! Keep this game exciting so I can stay awake! I-L-L!

    Illini Final Four viewing in your city/country

    Yep. When you hear Brian Barnhart announcing who's listening, and he says Yola Nigeria, that's me! He responded to my X post telling him where I was one time by saying something like I won the longest distance award.

    Illini Final Four viewing in your city/country

    I use SurfShark for my VPN, and it works pretty well. During the football season, I watched 3 or 4 games on pirated YouTube streams, but I've had no luck with basketball. Paramount+ was showing some games, but my feed would only last about 30 mins before they figured out that I was on a VPN and...

    Illini Final Four viewing in your city/country

    Well, I'm in Yola, Nigeria. The best I can do is listen either on TuneIn or SiriusXM. We have a long weekend here, and I thought about flying to the capitol, Abuja, to find an expat pub that might have it, but that's a little spendy. Not as much as an actual Final Four ticket, but still spendy.

    Illinois 71, Iowa 59 Postgame

    The game ended at around 2:00 am here in Nigeria, but I stayed up and listened to the whole thing. Great win over a program I despise, and the Final Four is the chef's kiss! LFG Illini! Let's do this thing in Indy!

    Wisconsin 91, Illinois 88 OT Postgame

    Just like last year. Brad sees something in Ben that no one else in the world does. Nothing personal against the kid, but he's been treated with kid gloves since he got here, and we've all been told that it's our fault that we can't see just how elite he is. Brad's stubborn, no doubt. But this...

    Well, to be fair, they are undefeated in practice, so there's that.

    UCLA 95, Illinois 94 OT Postgame

    I"ve heard that Mick Cronin was crying about how easy that last play was. He's going to complain to the B1G.

    Pregame: Illinois at Purdue, Saturday, January 24th, 2:00pm CT, FOX

    Sometimes just being at the game is the point. You can go to work the next day and tell everyone you were at the game, and they will oooh and aaah over the fact that you were actually there. This happened at another university I worked at that had just started a D1 hockey program when I arrived...

    Let's not forget the Illini will be playing the team that's supposed to win the conference on only two days rest. Ask Mick Cronin how that works out. He'd probably still be complaining about the W.
