Very... I question how we aren't consistently ready to start a half. In this game, they outscored us by 4 during the first 4 minutes of the first half and tied the first 4 of the second. Its the second 4 minutes of the each half where we lost the game. We were outscored by 13 in that time...

Welcome back and thanks for coming back!

I get what you're saying but I'm not an NBA scout and trust they know more about what they're looking for. You are not an NBA scout either right? With you on that one. Podz was probably BU's biggest whiff!

IF he does come back and plays extended minutes...

A lot of talk about players and Brad coming, or not coming back. What’s the over/under on how soon Hamer is relived of his duties. We need yo get back to playing that hard nosed D that Illinois, even in lean years, was know for.

Who’s excited to finally see the Illini get revenge against Kentucky for the phantom foul call at Rupp Arena in the Mid-east Regional Final? Let’s go!!!!

I agree 100% and blame lack of fire on the fact that right now, at least our team, is like an extension of an AAU team. Players playing for the next level and not for the university. I cannot stand Iowa but really appreciate what I saw at the end of the Iowa game when Payton Sandfort's heart...

MSU thinking they're higher on our target list than they are. Their level of self importance versus what they really are is misaligned. Personally, I dislike Fichigan more and Iowa even more. Probably don't speak for all Illini fans.

Dare to dream.

Agree. Give me that and good health

Lets face it. A freshman, playing in his first game where he was counted on as THE big man and he has a bad game against some quality guys. Queen is actually pretty good. What's he gonna learn from it and how's he going to use it? And after continuing to see posts about guys planning to...

Al McGuire once said "the best thing about freshman is that they become sophomores." The challenge though is, we have elite freshman but they still are just that. When you have a freshman inbounding the ball at a key moment, to expect upper classman decisions to be made is a bit much. Even if...

FWIW, we played like we were on the road against Minnesota. Buddy of mine was at the Penn St. game. Said it was the loudest football game he's ever been to and he could see why on field communication was difficult.

But I hope he's wrong. Lets get 9 regular season W's plus a bowl W to make it 10. ILL!
