    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Your reference to Brian Williams is throwing me off. Could you be thinking of Brian Cook? That is just off of the top of my head (and I can be wrong!)

    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    Never forget that making a living based upon the decisions of 18 year old kids is the definition of insanity. I applaud all of our coaches for their efforts to work in such an environment and especially in these "wild west" times of NIL. Illinois football will continue to prosper, and who...

    Illinois 71, Iowa 59 Postgame

    The Big 10 is pretty strong in the South. Was the SEC in the South?

    Illinois 65, Houston 55 Postgame

    Two double--doubles? I watched the game, it was late and I was tired, admittedly. But it wasn't until I looked at the box score this morning that I realized that Mirk went for 14 and 10 while Wagler went for 13 and 12. Twelve, I tell you! Is that crazy? What I saw live was that the team...

    It's all they got, but at least Bruce Pearl is not on the screen!

    3/21 Games Thread

    I felt sorry for Jamie Dixon. The foul totals are over two to one and then the refs miss the goaltending call. It should have been reviewable, I thought, but I guess not.

    And if Siena had upset Duke, I'll always wonder what that % would have been. Nice stat you found.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Penn, Thursday, March 19th, 8:25pm CT, TNT

    So, you have to begin with the math (33.3 percent of three-pointers going in is equal to 50 percent of twos) and realize the individual talents give this team a "shooters chance. That is a pretty exciting thing to watch. And they are not just "jack up 3's," as you would call it. Many times I...

    Or Indiana! But I do NOT want to see Bruce Pearl on CBS of all things, on selection Sunday. What a disgrace he is to honesty (while an assistant at Iowa). And he will just whine about Auburn not getting into the Tourney. So I will likely boycott the Selection Sunday show and read about it on...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

    Seriously? Bruce Pearl at the half. For Illinois fans who remember the history, why in the world do we have to see Bruce Pearl in the halftime show?

    Michigan State 85, Illinois 82 OT Postgame

    Next month Brad will need his ballers to go 6-0 against six actual tourney teams. And if all 6 games are truly on neutral courts, I expect to see a national champ!
