    Illini Football & CFB 2020

    For the state of Illinois and CDC, if you are within 6 ft of a positive case for more than 15 min with or without a mask at any time 2 days before the positive case had symptoms and up until their isolation you are asked to quarantine. I do not think this is going to change anytime soon. I am...

    Kofi Cockburn declares for NBA Draft

    Testing the waters seems like a smart thing to do. If you want to play in the NBA it would be smart to hear what teams think of you and what to work on to be more desirable. Unless he wants to play overseas or a team takes a risk in the second round for long term development, I imagine he will...

    The Kingfisher

    So only 7,819 students voted? This was open to all the students on campus correct? Seems like the university could use a better way to get the student's opinion on campus.

    The Kingfisher

    Not a fan. It has zero connection to the university besides being orange and blue and some live in Illinois. They do not have to bring back the Chief, but at least have the mascot relate somehow to the university. I still like the alma otter, which has some connection. Heck, there are some...

    Alan Griffin suspended 2 games

    Stupid move by the kid, but people make mistakes. The punishment is excessive in my opinion, but if that is the new big ten policy going forward that is fine. It will be very interesting to watch them uphold this fairly in the future. Does pushing or taking a swing at someone warrant a 2 game...

    Betiku to the NFL

    Good luck to him. Sure hope he makes his dreams come true. Plus, it is always fun to see an Illinois player in the league.

    Good win. Nice to see the opposing team unable to buy a basket tonight instead of Illinois.

    Proud of the team. Can’t wait until next year.

    Illinois 71, Michigan 62 POSTGAME

    Always good to be able to pull out a win with such a bad 3 point shooting night. They could be scary if they start getting hot from 3. I can't wait to see what Kofi can do once he improves on his footwork and post moves. Kofi already an ESPN.com top headline. Hope the ref is ok

    Northwestern 29, Illinois 10 POSTGAME

    Crappy weather, injuries and it just was not our day. It was a bad game, but I am still happy to see the seniors get to go bowling.

    Illinois 66, Hawaii 53 POSTGAME

    They got the win. Still plenty of time to gel, but a lot to work on. The only things that have really impressed me this season have been rebounds and points in the paint. They shot better at 3 tonight, but regardless I am impressed with Kofi and the team for not completely folding on poor...

    Arizona 90, Illinois 69 POSTGAME

    Like how Illinois continues to drive the ball down the lane straight into multiple set defenders and turn the ball over instead of passing it out to find a better shot.

    Arizona 90, Illinois 69 POSTGAME

    It was clear which team had more 5 star talent on the floor regardless of class. I do think Illinois has enough talent and experience to beat any team, but right now they look a mess on both offense and defense. At the moment I am still waiting for BU’s coaching abilities and schemes to help...
