    Remember when it was 20-something years since we’d signed a 5 star prospect?

    If the top programs are able pay that much to unproven prep recruits to sit on the bench it kinda feels like we’re regressing toward the pre-scholarship limit days when they’d horde as many prospects as possible just to keep them away from teams lower down the food chain.

    Kind of disingenuous to leave out third place game results (I believe we won two). Those games still count in the record books. Also as much as I hate Michigan, after seeing the video of those a-hole UCONN fans taunting ours after the game, I might be okay with them humiliating the Huskies...

    I forget exactly when it was in the season, but sometime before the broken hand he also took a shot on the shoulder that I don’t think ever fully healed.

    Crushed but grateful for the season as it was. Now we’ll always wonder how we would have fared against Duke.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

    By incredibly bad luck (nothing serious, just plans that could not be rescheduled) I will not be watching live, which is giving me double anxiety. See y’all on the other side tonight!

    If following this team hasn’t caused you to experience net joy I don’t know what to tell ya.
