In contrast to everyone else, I thought our defense was pretty good. They didn't have too many open looks-they just made shots. They came to win.

I remember this! Also that he missed it badly and never tried another one. LOL

There's been a definite upturn in Illini basketball since BU took over but he just seems to have huge blind spots. MSU was just begging to have zone played against them but he can't seem to bring himself to be that flexible. Great coaches always seem to come up with wonderful out-of-bounds...

Was this from last week when he was sent down for 7 hours then called back up before playing a game?

I'm wondering when a mediocre Wolves team is going to give TSJ a shot to see what he can do. I didn't expect him to never see action except in a blowout.

I was just going to post about him. He's not a lights-out 3-point shooter and he's probably too short for the NBA but he's just a very impressive player. Always seems to have a plan when he's got the ball.

I got seats in section 101-there's a site that shows you the view from whatever seat you have. The Chelsea Bell event looks great. The Illini should be rock solid by then. Waiting for Riley to break out.

Thanks for this. I was confused because Ticketmaster said they're not on sale yet, but all the re-sale sites have them available. At exorbitant prices, of course.

Was looking at the previous recruiting thread about starters for next year. It is assumed that Hawkins will leave but if he's not a 2nd round pick, and it's looking like he might not be, wouldn't returning be a very strong option for him? NIL money for him would be very competitive with his...

Why? A good fantasy life has no limitations.

Everyone one is theorizing that someone will leave but isn't it even more likely that the whole NIL/portal deal is about to take another dramatic shift: adding a 14th guy (or more) through NIL deals.

The funny part is that the whole time the insiders were talking and we were worrying there was really only one thing to pay attention to-whether Flagler returned to Baylor.

That's pretty impressive. Shades of Trent Frazier.

It looks like Tyger Campbell stayed in the draft and one mock I saw had him as the 94th best player. Meanwhile our guys came back while rated in 30s or 40s. I wonder what he's seeing.

Honestly, how many of us had ever heard of him before he emerged on this board as a possibility? He isn't even in consideration on NBA draft boards. The idea that he's the difference between heaven and hell seems far-fetched. We don't need his scoring so the real key is whether we have someone...
