I'm tired of hearing about how this garbage is some 23 year old assistant's fault grade school girls play with more grit and effort on defense than this. Secondly when evaluating players it's easy to see this group has next to no talent when it comes to defense. We desperately need new...
As has been said ad nauseam people want to work for our AD our school has a lot more to offer than most. Coaches want to go where they can win. Carolina will hire one coach there are plenty of others mainly if Sean Miller would come to Illinois that would be a huge next step.
yes they aren't that good yet look where he has them in the standings, as for Illinois injuries or not they are so wildly inconsistent aside from shooting poorly playing lousy defense and turning the ball over at an alarming rate.

You all know more about this stuff than I ever will. I just wish Big Ten schools would not schedule them in anything. If they don't want to join the conference let them play Southern Indiana and Eastern illinois a bunch of times in all these non revenue sports why help their scheduling? It...
We are so fortunate that Coach Bielema was willing to take this extremely difficult job. The long game and laying the foundation is more important than individual recruits. We have to be patient myself included. We need to do everything we can to Support this coach and this program. Josh and...
