    The Sweet 16

    No, but I think it's good to have the conference representation that we do...that said, F Iowa. I won't hear the end of it from Iowa fan friends and coworkers if they make it farther than us. Hell, even if we both lose, they will still say "we're just as good as Illinois".

    Illinois 81, Iowa 61 Postgame

    My now 6 year old had a brief stint in the NICU there right after he was born. At one point the nurse put a Hawkeye blanket on him and I made some smartass comment as I sat there with my Illini T-shirt on. She ended up swapping it out for an Iowa State one...I found that to be acceptable.

    I certainly can't work a post on an online forum like a millennial...jeez, no idea how I posted that twice

    '83 here...really bothers me to be boxed in as a millennial so I dump on my own all the time. No offense to millennials. I was already a grumpy old man 10 years so I feel more boomer like...uh, no offense to boomers either

    I heard about some Kuato kid making a name for himself on Mars, but nobody has ever seen him...is he the 5 we need, or maybe the high scoring SG...bit of a mystery. Brad should at least open his mind to him.

    Illini Basketball 2023-2024

    That would be awesome if we pull off the victory in that fashion. I'll be there. I don't get to games often, and the last one was also there...the drubbing in 2019 where Iowa shot over 70% from 3. My biggest takeaway from that game (other than getting stomped) was that I realized right away...

    Illini Basketball 2023-2024

    Yeah, Whitman is obviously at the games, but as Brad is walking down the tunnel at halftime is probably not the best moment to say, "Hey, what's going on with the defense". So maybe he WOULD call the next day. Anyway, that's beside the point... I agree with you, I'm not saying he needs to...

    Illini Basketball 2023-2024

    Surely if the collective of amateurs on this board can figure these things out, a college basketball staff should have no problem. Is Brad really that stubborn? If so, that's even more frustrating/irritating than if it was just simple incompetence. Do most college coaches operate with complete...

    Illini Basketball 2022-2023

    I could be wrong, but I think there were more than a few of the BU yelling instances where it was a result of someone not listening or paying attention to him that set him off more. I know one in particular with Hawkins where the camera shows Brad calmly telling him to "shoot it". Hawkins is off...

    Certa looked....okay in the game last night. Something like 18/8/3. Smooth stroke from three but everything else was meh, as previously mentioned by a few on here. The rebounds I think we're mostly a product of being one of the taller kids and more than a few came from free throws...not like he...

    Rockridge alum here...I guess I will take this opportunity for my first post (long-time stalker, er follower) and say that I hope he does terribly in his first game on Thursday, or at least just well enough for them to still lose. Just put things together reading the board that this who we are...
