Bill Self's so cool. Oh what could have been. I like Brad too.

I really wish this was just a regular season game
He still has a year of eligibility, right?
He was also back a year ago for Coaches vs. Cancer (along with Kruger).
Kansas, Illinois, Self, Brad, Hunter, BTN, and for charity ....
Love getting a chance to see Self back in Chambana.
And assuming everything goes the way it should. the game should be over just in time for the Bears Sunday Night game that night at the Chargers.

That’s pretty impressive when you realize we’re gonna shoot 28% on threes and 62% from the line.

I agree 100%.
I agree it likely won't happen though.
While I do kinda wonder what kind of powerhouse he could have turned Illinois into if Roy Williams didn't leave for UNC after originally turning it down. We realistically probably would have gotten the death penalty if he stayed long term for violations they would sweep under the rug at a blue blood.

I thought exhibition games are the ones against lower-major teams that we win by 50 points. Kansas, wow!
Plenty of reasons to love this event. Selfishly, high up there for me is all the over-reaction, hot takes we’ll see on here — win or lose.
As for Self, up to about 10 years ago — OK, maybe more like 5 — I would have been firmly in the boo him camp. Guess I’m finally over it and actually find myself almost liking him to the point that under the right circumstances I could root for him and Kansas. So save the lungs for cheering on the Illini and, of course, booing Hunter cuz the right circumstances don’t include a team with Hunter on it.

Is there a story behind this that I'm missing? I'm intrigued

I think that was Self's favorite watering hole during his time in C-U. According to my dad for Ron Turner it was Huber's. When I visit those are definitely two on my list that I try to hit.
Does this mean Bruce is dead?

Beat me to it. Can't endorse this more heartily. He did our program proud and set table for Bruce and that incredible run we had. He should get no less than a standing O.
