    Illinois 76, VCU 55 Postgame

    I can’t believe they are playing NCAA games on the only court in the country with the benches on the baselines. That would drive me crazy as a coach.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs VCU

    I’m good with AS going ISO every possession. Just hope his loose handle doesn’t happen at the wrong time.

    Video reel is nice. Unfortunately first thing I see though is a ton of off ball screens and people moving without the ball. Would he be as effective in the version of offense we currently run.

    Week of 3/9 Games Thread

    I’m curious about the results in the alternative universe where Tracy Abrahms doesn’t get hurt and then Groce gets the point guard that ended up going to OkSt.

    Week of 2/23 Games Thread

    Nebraska playing a home game at USC. I have zero idea why any recruit would go to USC to have to play home games with the visiting team dominating your own arena. I stopped 3 times making this post to make sure I wasn’t going crazy and Nebraska wasn’t just wearing red at home even though I...

    Michigan State 85, Illinois 82 OT Postgame

    I’m not advocating for there to not be refs in the Big 10, but if Fears called the fouls that Tomi or Andre were whistled with in a pick up game…I’m guessing people would have laughed at him.

    Reminds me a bit of Matt Roth, who did better at Indiana than I anticipated he would. Will have to get out to a Nequa game sooner vs. later.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

    I’m sure this is in the pregame thread but don’t want to go searching through pages. Anyone near Chicago know where they are putting the game once the the Bears game comes on FOX?

    Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

    This is the first time I’ve ever commented on the football board cause I don’t know anything about football, but I do know about math. What the hell was that??

    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    With all the discussion about nepotism I decided to look up if Richard Pitino had ever worked for Rick Pitino, since it seems like Pitino isn’t someone whose moral compass points north, nor would he give a care if it wasn’t looked at positively by fans. Was surprised to find out it doesn’t...

    3/18-3/19 Games Thread

    Bad move to reply to my own post. But that was a Squad. The fact that I didn’t see Brian Cook without his warm up off just makes me miss those days. Arch cutting it up with the ref in the last minute when he’s at the free throw line makes me sad. Also, I was starting to think Trent Frazier...

    I know it was 25 years ago but the UI-KU replay on Big 10 Network has me all jazzed up.
