    Pregame: Illinois vs Houston, Thursday, March 26th, 9:05pm CT, TBS

    CBS guy picked Illinois to win. Reasoning was that Houston has a lot of trouble with the other team's offensive rebounding (one of our strengths). We generate more shots that way and they turn teams over to generate more shots for them. If we don't turn it over much and rebound we'll, we can...

    Illinois 113, Jackson State 55 Postgame

    The game last night didn't show me too much other than we have lots of guys that can shoot open threes and hit them. Jackson St.'s size was a huge problem for them. We could have just passed it down low and made lay up after lay up it we wanted. I feel like if we wanted to, we could have won...

    2025-2026 Season Predictions Thread

    I think we go 25-6 with losses to Uconn, Texas Tech, UCLA, and three others we shouldn't lose to. Yes, I think we can beat Purdue. I think they are overrated this year. I dont have a good reason for that. Probably play well in the big ten tournament but lose in the championship to a team who...

    Is all of this just to change it up as to who gets to sit right behind and between the broadcasters on TV?

    Seems reasonable...it seems hard to have 2.6 more assists a game and have the total score go down by half a point a game, but either way, I think we are looking pretty good!

    Yeah, it's another 6 points higher than. Last year. I'm not sure who scores less points if they don't go that high, though. Maybe Stojacovic and Ivisic lose a couple?

    YES! It also would mirror our stats from this year with a slight uptick in points. Unless I am adding wrong.

    Worst pizza chain in the USA. I have lived and visited almost everywhere and outside of when I got sliced up hotdogs masquerading as pepperoni in Istanbul, and some random pizza in Paris, Imo's is the worst I have ever had. Tomato paste, cheap cheese, and cardboard crust.

    Ended their season because Duke quit going inside and stopped hitting any shots for the last 10 minutes of the game. Kind of like how Illinois lost to Duke, come to think of it.

    He needs to make sure and protect that ball when he does his turn around shot. That's gonna get stripped here in the states.
