    Illini Basketball 2026-2027

    We’ll have to wait another week to know how this team will really look without Mirk and Jake. That being said you really couldn’t have asked for a better showing. I see the vision on defense but against a good offensive team I fear we’re going to get into some pretty bad situations. Honestly...

    Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

    Housers looks good minus the pick. You play to win the game, not for next years team. If he’s healthy and feelin good he needs to be in.

    Lunney had a poor game against Purdue. He’s having another one against MD. IMO he’s tipping his play calls

    Pregame: Illinois vs Oregon, Saturday, October 24th, 2:00pm CT, BTN

    Sneaky important game/ROS in my eyes. Of course worst case scenario isn’t the sky falling, but I think Bret can buy back a lot of goodwill with a couple more wins this year. I just wanna see improvement.

    Correct, if you don’t count USC and UCLA

    Kind of off topic but how are Clayton’s legs? Obviously Boyd is more of a threat on the ground but compared to houser does Clayton at least have that level of mobility?

    I don’t think he cares about the exhibition scores he’s all but said it in the past.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Oregon, Saturday, October 24th, 2:00pm CT, BTN

    I assume Moore has a decent chance at returning for this game. I don’t see us beating a team with an nfl caliber QB, although we just made one of the statistically worst QBs in the big ten look like a day one draft pick so maybe it won’t matter. Either way, excited to watch Clayton play. He...

    Illinois 38, Michigan State 37 OT Postgame

    You’re stronger than me. I watched that game and the only W is going in the record book. Which I understand is the whole point, doesn’t change the fact this team looks lost at best. I’m more big picture on this year and I have yet to see anything that leads me to believe we’ll win anymore than...

    Illinois 38, Michigan State 37 OT Postgame

    Nah cmon. This defense just allowed 31 regular time (with an easy touchdown in OT to add) against the worst offense in the big ten. It’ll go as a W but you gotta be kidding me if you take away anything positive about this team overall from the game. That being said massive massive massive...

    The real loser isn’t whoever has less when the games finally over it’s all of us for having to watch this awful game.

    A quarter for Clayton to be a hero.

    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    What’s up with high profile (subjective I know) coaches retiring literally the last second before the season starts. Tony Bennett, Satan, and now Altman just handed the keys over weeks before the season starts. Is it really as simple as one last gift to their top lieutenant in the form of an...

    Better than Woodson, but I’d be surprised if he can win enough to appease the Hoosiers.
