For those that are in the know and/or have access to practice, is Humrichous just tearing it up in practice and really underperforming in the games? Thoughts on if it's just nerves from playing on a much larger stage? Will he work through this and eventually live up to the preseason hype?

Same here … it’s a bit of a mini-Mecca for any rabid hoops fan. :(

However, we cannot complain too much when it comes to cool non-conference roadtrips Brad has set up for us vs. relevant programs! We’ve had very cool matchups in New York and Vegas the last couple years.

Winning Maui was the crowning achievement for Groce. Remember that tournament fondly

After watching feast week what do you think of the Big Ten

IU looks overrated and wish we played them next

PU MSU Wisky looked good


Haven’t seen others play

I am wondering if Tomi could talk his brother into signing an NIL contract with us next year and we could seriously win the natty by having those two as twin towers.

They still talk every single day and are tight, being twins especially, and both love big O.

Make it happen Tomi!

Does any insider know if Morez will plan to transfer at the end of the season since Tim is gone? I really hope not. He has a bright future and I think could be a stud.

Every player is a possible transfer after the season.

Yeah just have to enjoy each year for what it is now. Good luck projecting next season. The only big contributor I feel confident about coming back next year is Boswell and Tre White. Everyone else is a candidate to be in the NBA or the portal (or graduates like Humrichous). Which hey we lost a whole Elite Eight team basically and seem to have rebuilt a team that's almost at that level the next season so not a bad world just a different one.

I wonder how much game planning will affect the Illini wanting to protect against 3s, and forcing teams to take mid-range jumpers. Take Indiana for example, since they don't shoot 3s well, and seem to prefer the mid-range shots. Do we adjust, or just stay with the thought that the only way to get beat is to have a team go off on 3 pointers, figuring that we can just outscore teams if we limit 3s?

I firmly believe Illini will get progressively better all season long and will be humming along and a feared team by tournament time.

Morez sure seems like a guy who would stick, given his recruitment never wavering for 3 years. It would be a blast to watch him develop.

Have a good feeling Morez will be back and will be all Big Ten on one of the 3 levels next season. Outside chance for freshman team this year. Riley and KJ should make freshman team and them along with Ivisic make perhaps 1st or 2nd all Big-Ten teams.

Can Ivisic make the freshman team? This is his first year in college, but he is classified as a sophomore. Is there a red-shirt freshman analogy here?
