Considering Penn finished at sub-300 NET Ranking this year, this would be definition of unnecessary risk for Illini. You really want the potential of having a quad 4 away game next year? I get that they could be much better next year, but this still seems crazy to me.
There is literally no upside to this from the Illini side (only bad risk), so I will assume this is a joke. From Penn's side, they would jump on this immediately.

Iowa is not in a great spot right now (LvilleILL1)
- Des Moines, IA
The only Philadelphia team I want to play on the road is Villanova. As others have said, zero upside to playing anyone else on the road right now (as fun as it would be to watch Illinois play in the Palestra).
Drake is currently on a heater too. Last 3 coaches
Nico Medved (now at Minnesota)
Darien DeVries (now at Indiana)
Ben McCollumn (Iowa)
the offensive on average looked fine, the problem was consistency/variance & the offense was a big problem at too many times. We had moments of having the best offense in the country, followed by moments of not being able to score. We also made way too many turnovers that lead to runouts and made the defense look worse than it was. We also covered it some with being ferocious on the boards, lead by Morez & good rebounding across the lineup.
I agree. If you're returning Boswell, White, Morez and Tomi as the core of your roster that gives you a fairly high floor imo.
Now I think you need to go get 2 guys that truly elevate the ceiling of the roster and take it from being a back end top 25 team to a top 5 team with a legitimate shot at a title. Imo, those need to be first team all b-10 caliber players at the least with ideally a guy capable of putting up an all American type season.
That would make you 6 deep then you spend on 2 more role players(maybe Sarr and a vet) and fill out the roster with some upside lottery ticket guys and go make a run.
I really like Boswell, Morez, Tomi, and White but I don't think either of those guys are a top 2 option on a national contender. It is however a great core of guys where they can be dangerous and rotate in as the third/fourth and occasionally step up and carry you when guys have bad games. I don't even really think that should be a controversial opinion either since KJ and Riley were the top 1 options this year and both are going pro, need to replace those guys.

Illinois had nice mini-run
Lon Kruger to NBA
Bill Self to Kansas
Nothing wrong with hiring great coaches, make NCAA run and have them leave for bigger jobs as long as you keep hiring great replacements. Unfortunately Weber then Groce killed the streak. Its nice that somebody else wants Brad.

The silver lining I saw for his players is he's very starting-lineup focused and they're getting drafted or will follow him.
Is Villanova closing in on March Madness coach as Kyle Neptune's successor?
Villanova basketball appears to be zeroing in on a March Madness coach. Which head coach could head to Philadelphia?

how is hamer still employed
I work at Penn and most of my co-workers don't even know they have a basketball team.
I think Tomi's passing ability alone should be very attractive to potential gamechangers
Why does everyone think the defensive issues are strictly a Hamer issue?
He used it to buy time so his agent could pursue the Nova job. IIRC he had a new deal ready for his sig at Mland so needed something to muddy the water temporarily.
Have you seen his tights? I mean come on, I think it is pretty obvious.
I was sad when Harris hit the portal. I really liked his effort
Yeah, but why talk about that publicly?
Saw a tweet that the players aren’t the biggest fan of Tyler?

Heck yeah. I had a subwoofer in my car in the day and the beat was so punchy and satisfying to listen to.

Convenience?
I don't mean to pick on you as you're definitely not the only one to contradict yourself in this way, but it's as if we're saying the fan experience and player experience aren't part of the equation.
