    I believe the 2026-2027 season is the Ivisic brothers' last year of eligibility. Tomi came over with 3 years of eligibility, and Big Z has already played 3 seasons of college basketball.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Penn, Thursday, March 19th, 8:25pm CT, TNT

    It's important to remember that we missed the first 4 tournaments this graphic is referencing, so we have no wins from 2015-2019 to add to our total. It would be more interesting to see the total wins from the last 6 tournaments when this year's is over. That would cover the 7 seasons that our...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Nebraska, Saturday, December 13th, 3:00pm CT, Peacock/YTTV

    I did the same thing! My only guess (if this stat is real) is it is referencing two teammates who scored 20+ points but not necessarily in the same game. Like if Player A played in his team's Big Ten opener and scored 20+ points, but Player B missed it with an injury or suspension. Then, when...

    Illini Basketball 2025-2026

    Edit: MDchicago beat me to it! By winning the initial tip, you guarantee that the other team will not end up with more granted possessions than you. Alternating possessions favors the winner of the initial tip if there are an even number of subsequent possession changes (including the start of...

    Illini Athletics Revenue

    It's 22% of the average revenue of all Power 5 schools (Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, ACC, SEC), so all schools are working with the same maximum budget of $22M.

    The criteria is to be on either the 1st or 2nd Consensus All-American teams. There is no Consensus 3rd team. But I agree he was a top-10 player in the country and should have been a Consensus All-American based on his play.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa State, Thursday, March 28th, 9:09pm CT, TBS

    He chose the last 5 seasons because Underwood's first two seasons here were rebuilding from the Groce era in 2017. The 2019-2020 season marked the beginning of the Illini's return to relevancy. If that's not convincing enough of a reason, then we can choose Brad's entire career here since he...

    I think their point was just that those numbers (68 for Notre Dame and 16 for Northwestern) seemed dubious. I looked up the RSCI lists beginning with the 2002 High School graduating class (Dee, Deron, and Augie's class) and ending with 2022. This includes only incoming Freshmen to each school...

    Memorial Stadium Game Day Experience

    From that seat map you linked, it looks like each of the nine sections (101-109) have 25 rows (51-75) under the overhang, so there are several more seats than your estimate that are obscured by the balcony, further proving your point.

    Good eye! Looks like 2006 at Wisconsin. We hit a field goal with 00:08 left in the first half, which explains the band being on the sideline.

    Definitely us! I think the kicker is #13 Jason Reda and the holder is #82 Frank Lenti Jr. I remember seeing this picture on Best Buy's website when I was shopping for a tv years ago.
