Just means more time for Illini fans to enjoy the Deer District before the game (for those who made the trek to Milwaukee).

I envy yall getting to watch/be there - flew to Tokyo during our Xavier game, and looking like the streaming services block other countries . Hope we play hard, stay safe, and light them up!

Wally and Kenny picked UK, Clark picked the Illini

Sounds like you need a VPN my friend.

Unfortunately as I’m sure you’ll agree..

Necessary Dad Stuff = Fighting Illini
Also:
Fighting Illini > Blue Angels > The Fabulous Thunderbirds > Thundercats

* The Fabulous Thunderbirds rate high because they’re both fabulous AND tough enough.

Since it worked on Friday…here’s another treasured piece of my Illini collection. After the 2004 football spring game my dad and I moseyed over to Ubben to watch an open basketball scrimmage, where I was able to get autographs from *nearly* the whole team. I was 11 at the time so needless to say I was in awe of my giant heroes signing my program. I remember Calvin Brock’s brother was there as a recruit, and went around the world (made a three from every spot around the arc) to great applause from us fans.

Gotta say, there are few teams I'd rather beat than Kentucky to make the Sweet Sixteen. Get it done and make us proud.

I want this one BAD. Beating UK to get to the Sweet 16 in one of the prime tv slots for the weekend would be massive.

Please don’t lay an egg.

We have to defend. I realize that's obvious, but our defensive intensity, help defense has to be very good in order to win.

1nd round has been officiated different than 1st round games, but our 1st round game was officiated different than all others. What does it all mean?

Take care of the ball, stay active, rebound on both ends and it won't mean jackrabbit crap!

Flying Illini Air National Guard ... there's the mascot if we really have to have one.
Senator Tammy Duckworth was a Blackhawk pilot in the Illinois National Guard.
No cartoon character please.
