Today was the first time I’d heard Goode was injured. I’m sure his injury had something to do with his struggles lately.
Illinois 93, Wisconsin 87 - Big Ten Tournament Champions
1 NCAA appearance in 5 years, 37-52 Big Ten record (with zero winning seasons). Seems clear to me. Perhaps it was the word tender instead of tenure?
. I meant a Natty!I wasn't sure what a "Groce's Tender" was but i was sure I didn't want to eat it.
marcus really only had 3 good halves of basketball. AJ had a lot more
When we went down by ten today, my daughter looked at me and said, without irony, “we got ‘em right where we want ‘em”.
In the three B1G Tournament Games. Terrence Shannon Jr. averaged 35+ minutes, 34pts, 47%FG, 45% 3pt FG, 86%FT, 3 Reb, 2Ast, 1.7STL, 1.7 TO
I'm sorry are you reading prime MJ playoff stats to me? Because that's what that looks like
very sorry for your loss. prayers for you & your familyI lost my mom suddenly on Thursday. She was a huge Illini and Cub fan. I told my family that she would propel the Illini to the Big Ten tourney win. God bless the Illini. Thank you for bringing me joy during a difficult time
Agreed. I can’t help but like Storr, even though I wish he was on the Beloved. Same for Hepburn, even though I’ll hate facing him for 2 more years. Scrappy bunch. Don't love Gard, but I won’t hold that against the players.

Boy I wonder what those two have in common

User name checks out.
This is the equivalent of knocking someone out of a poker game then extending our hand to say “oh man, tough beat.” You’re obligated to do it, but they want nothing of it.
Hey, my shoulder is in this pic.

I suggest you take a look at the championship game stats for both.
Freaking love this. One of my greatest memories as a young Illini fan was meeting the team at Willard after losing to Arizona in the Elite 8. I was probably in 7th or 8th grade, I think.
What a great win and statement weekend. Showing the nation we can win even when we are not playing to our full capability and just being able to turn it up a few notches and get it done. We had lapses in every game and still closed out all three games. If we play at our top level from start to finish we are final four bound. I think a lot of teams are looking at us as the team they don't want to be in the same bracket with. Congratulations Illini you deserve it. It's a shame that this championship they won will get little press as the ncaa tourney bracket will be the main story they will be talking about. Another reason to finish it on Saturday.
The defense really doesn't matter, but he would simply have to really develop as a shooter.
I think he might be able to play in the d-league and definitely overseas unless he vastly improves that shot. However, I also played against Max Strus in high school(he was a jr)and didn't think he was anything special, watched him go to Lewis, then DePaul, and now he's signed a 60 million dollar contract so anything can happen with some of these guys.
Tominaga is the real outlier there. He got locked down by Illinois and put up a really empty 18 pts and was 2/9 from 3. Williams was the best player on Nebraska in the tournament.
Domask probably missed out because he was awful against OSU(just missing open layups) but he quietly put up 16/7/8 and 26/7/8(will need to be limit the turnovers from today though).
Really, Ty was great all tournament even if he's not putting up counting stats. I think he would have been deserving.
I think you could also make an argument for Battle or maybe Buie but he only played 1 game.
