While I am very optimistic and excited for next season and the new players. No matter who plays at guard, what I think will be the biggest difference next year is that we will most likely have significantly more turnovers. Wagler took on so much responsibility to have the ball in his hands when...

I have waited long enough and can’t believe that no one from central Illinois has given the correct answer………pork and beans.

Great job and season by everyone involved! Really enjoyed it and made some great memories and shared enthusiasm with old friends! Thank you team!!!

Why did we call that time out earlier!?!?!

I graduated from U of I in ‘ 87 (4 years orange crush). I have a lot of favorites including D Williams, K Gill, N Anderson, D Brown, E Winters, D Thomas…..but Kenny Battle in my mind was transformative in what he brought from an effort, ability and psychological standpoint to the ‘89 team. I am...

Damn….what a game….what a team!!!

Drinking buddy??

Went to the game: Defense much better and effort/intensity was very good especially 2nd half. Tennessee did not look good at all or shoot well. Hope this was more related to our defense than who they are. We are physically a very weak team and it really shows up in rebounding. Most of our...

Watching Hunter Dickinson play some of the most uninspired basketball ever....James Harden level!

Seems like we don't have a point guard or a sound offensive scheme so when teams turn up the pressure in crunch time we don't look so good. Agree with others saying Ty Rogers should get more time....and not sure what Goode brings.
