I want to salute Fran McCaffery, who between the breathless basketball his teams play and impose on the game, and just being a genuinely ridiculous human being has provided as much entertainment as anybody in Big Ten history.
If this is it, thanks for everything you sick maniac
Fran, I hope your nutrient-deficient Gumby-body-type self stays for many more years to come.
Your mental and emotional instability is a source of inspiration and joy for so many of us.
Nice to get a fluid offensive performance against Iowa’s practice-squad-level defense to get our guys comfortable for the rest of the week. Gotta feel like today’s 3pt shooting is gonna carry over.
I don’t care about any of these “smart guy” takes about the BTT not being important. We Illinois and we showin up to win.
*Special shoutouts: Ivisic’s passing and Mrs. Sandfort in the stands. Jesus loves you more than you will know… whoa whoa whoa.
Similar to Tominaga last year, I was able to enjoy Sandfort going ballistic tonight. I just love a heater, especially when the Illini still win. It's a good thing pretty much all the Illini were killing it to get past it.
