Thanks for starting this thread. I have lived away from my home state for most of the last 40 years and have depended on Tupper for even handed and informative articles since he joined the digital age. Hate to see him go, but he deserves a long and happy retirement.

Mark Tupper has announced his retirement effective end of May The guy deserves some recognition from Illini loyalists

All of a sudden it’s immediance is relevant

Gee wonder where they got that play?

I am not chalking up KSU to a fluke, just wondering why the KSU head coach could not produce anything close in year 6 at Ill.

Three: LSU, Georege Mason, VCU; all lost in the semis.

Who is the last 11 seed to make the final 4?

Love it

No jealousy, no ill will, but you are right, KSU is on the receiving end of 5he once in a lifetime UMBC upset.

Either he is a better coach now or he has access to better players at KSU that at Ill. I can’t figure our how either is possible.
