    I was more impressed/encouraged when he finished a fast break with a right handed layup through traffic later in the quarter.

    Well TSJ will have to wait a couple of weeks to show what he’s got. He’s out with an abductor hallucis strain in his left foot. Bummer for him.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

    Larry Gies Makes Transformational $100 Million Gift to Illinois Athletics
