If Brad levels up another transfer to the extent TSJ and Domask leveled up, he is going to start getting a reputation.

One of my fondest music memories was seeing the Dead Milkmen play at the Blind Pig in Champaign over Spring Break ‘94 in front of maybe 200 people tops. Super fun show.

Some days you’re the dog, other days you’re the fire hydrant. Today we were the hydrant. UConn was a beast of a team and I’m proud of our Illini for getting here.

This game is too big for Rogers.

What can it be? It’s a mirage. I’m tellin’ all y’all it’s sabotage.

To the public pretending this whole thing is just the UConn show, some sage words from The Beastie Boys: Your crystal ball ain’t so crystal clear, now.

Wrong thread maybe, but I was reminiscing on the game last night. Of Shannon’s three steals, most are talking about the two passes he intercepted at mid court and dunked at the other end. One stopped ISU momentum at a critical part in the first half and the other essentially sealed the game. But...

I love the interview with Hawkins after the game when he was asked if the Illini could hang with UCONN. He started out by saying he hadn’t watched film on them yet and then proceeds to break down a handful of UCONN’s tendencies. UCONN is supremely talented, experienced and focused. BU will...

Sweet 16 Deniers can’t coup our Elite 8!

Just saw a clip of BU storming the locker room shirtless with goggles and a water soaker. Best freakin coach! Maybe there someone out there who is a damn basketball Kung fu genius…. But Brad is the guy! Our guy! Ball movement against the traps was on point!

Brad has ISU cased out!

Dainja on the right mid major team as the focal point of an offense might put up over 15 ppg and even sniff 20.

Like an NBA team coached by Mike Fratello.

I haven’t seen lapses in effort with this team since the tournament season started. Being “too tight” has been a bigger issue at times.
