    Baylor 95, Illinois 91 (Exhibition) Postgame

    Its an exhibition. Brad does not care if we win or lose. Andrej was Andrej. Great slashing to hoop. Mediocre passer. This game he was not diving into triple team.

    They ask for transcript or diploma to get $45 discount. OMG I graduated in 1984. I have no idea where my transcript or diploma is - that was 42 years ago.

    we got nothing to lose we are at home Clayton looked poised vs MSU. Maybe he can play QB for us in 2027 and we can spend the QB money on defensive lineman IS Jayshon Platt the biggest $NIL bust in Illini history

    last year I bought great UCLA tickets at list price $75 each. The seats were available mid season for 12,000 seat Pauley Pavillion. The fans base was 50% Illini. I am glad to pay the higher prices. I live in SoCal so I flew into NYC for Duke 2024, Indy FF 2026. I will fly in for UConn 2026...

    We have good guard depth. We really need our 5's to step forward - Letty and Manuela. Teams pound us inside.
