PCA gets stolen base #40, putting him in very rare air of the 40/40 club- only 7 players have reached this milestone! Glad he gets this done before the trip to Boston. Getting a stolen base in rainy conditions might have been tough.

Pump the brakes. There hasn't been any confirmation of his trolling skills yet.

Assuming these estimates are fairly accurate, there is a great deal to unpack from this article . Illinois is 14th in the Big 10 by these metrics.

I expect that tackling fundamentals will get a lot of attention in practice this week, and would expect significant improvement in Duke game. Many posters thought linebacker play was biggest hole in the defense. Longer term, getting Daniel Brown back and Grant Beerman having more practice time...

They showed it. Clock hit 0:00 before incomplete pass hit the ground.

Western Michigan gets screwed on major homer call. Clock ran out on incomplete pass. Refs put one second back on clock and scUM hits Hail Mary.

If he’s just finishing his sophomore year in HS, there’s a decent chance he’s still growing. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to see him arrive at 6’-8” or so.

It wouldn’t be Loyalty without someone pointing out the glass is 3% empty….

With DiVincenzo out many months and Anthony Edwards likely out for the rest of this series, the Timberwolves have 3 chances to win one game and advance. Hoping that TSJ is feeling stronger and can be a second Illini major contributor, along with Ayo, to pull them across the finish line. Take...
