Probably means Andrej coming back. Just no room for great players.

Will Riley is a great test case for Keaton. Similar players. Both could’ve used two more seasons with Fletch but Will has now hit his stride after taking some lumps his rookie NBA season. If I’m an NBA scout now seeing Will putting up 30 I look at Keaton from the same program and see a repeat. I...

No way Keaton is not going NBA even if we or some other school could pay him close to NBA money. Need to get through the 5 year rookie contract to get to that second NBA contract where even average players make $15M+ a year. He could be hitting that by 23-24 years old if he goes this year.

We’re playing on house money based on how I thought this year would go in mid Feb. We played tight to start Iowa. We do that again we lose. We don’t do that we win. Season already a massive success.

Speed (VCU) vs strength. Classic matchup. Illini -9.5, not as good as I thought. Crazy. Going across state lines to bet the house on Illini.

You’re right. NCAA did ban that for a while specifically because of that Illinois game at UK. Lou coached the heck out of that team that should’ve beat a dominant UK team on their own court. Makes you miss the days where our players were coached up. Beat a great Maryland team to get there. But...

Who cares about the NBA? Hard to watch. Kinda like WWE these days.

The portal has giveth to us huge in basketball and football and taketh from us huge. Bret has done a great job with his overall convincing many to stay for a “little less money” for the good of their careers. We do a great job of this in basketball. There are at least 8 transfers from Illinois...

some (not all) of our players lack intensity. We start games and come out after halftime not as energetic and focused as opponents. We should be pressing more, maybe to start games but for sure out of the half. Brad needs gimmicks to augment intensity. We’re deep and talented so pressing should...

Dear Brad-when the shoot 3s at will offense isn’t working because we can’t hit a 3, what is the alternative game plan? Starting to feel like 24/25, 22/23 teams.

Equal talent. Unequal coaching. Watch out after halftime. Hurley will take Brad to school again.

UC is a lame venue. That place has zero character. We need to stop playing there.

Northwestern and Wisconsin not looking like the “easy wins” with those teams playing better and us lingering in limbo.

Did you see the free throw differential?
