    Pregame: Illinois vs Ohio State, Tuesday, January 24th, 6:00pm CT, ESPN

    Actually Tom Izzo said much the same thing and pointed out that the NCAA is so worried about the care of players and yet has squeezed the season by several days to get all the games in. He and Brad pointed out the exact same things in different interviews. Wait until Northwestern has to fulfill...

    Illinois 78, Minnesota 60 Postgame

    I did a small amount of officiating in my early married years 25-30. It is a thankless job. Sometimes the athletes are so quick that you sprint trying to get in position to make a call. You don't always have the best angle, and yet you have to make that call... It is not easy and with replay we...

    1/2 Weekday Games

    I agree! I could see 10-15 turnovers in the first half when we play Rutgers. Welcome to the reality of freshman guards vs season veteran guards like Damonte and Frazier!

    The mascot debate

    It is supposed to be fun. However it is not fun to see a woke administration trying to move on from a hallowed tradition. The fans at games still dutifully call out "CHIEF" at the appropriate time after what used to be the Chief's dance. This is not fun... This is empty and sad... You have...

    12/10 Weekend Games

    Watching Maryland and Tennessee. Great Game. Maryland couldn't throw it in the ocean in the first half. Never quit fighting. Got within 2 points but fell short. Jim Jackson very nearly made me turn the game off because of his exhaustive commentary on every shot, every miss , every turnover. All...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    I am sorry that Brandon Pods is going elsewhere. I hope that they had lengthy conversations with the the coaching staff and perhaps it was mutual but I feel like he probably saw himself being recruited over and I get how he feels. He will probably go to Marquette or Wisconsin and display the...

    Houston 68, Illinois 53 Postgame

    Did anyone notice how Houston went into the paint repeatedly and then kicked to shooters when the help collapsed on the ball handler??

    Houston 68, Illinois 53 Postgame

    We didn't shoot at all today but this is still a team that beat Michigan twice and Michigan State twice and Wisconsin once. Sorry we didn't have our best shooting today.

    Nebraska 74, Wisconsin 73 (3/6 Games)

    I thought the same thing. The Flagrant Foul 2 was a little too much. If you watch the play Johnny Davis was hurt from a misstep before he got fouled and fell out of bounds. Just a bad call. I also did not like the Technical on Alonzo Verge. He was fouled on a layup and he told the ref so and...
