Yeah, I kind of feel dirty watching this game. But sort of multi tasking around the house this morning.

I know everything is still “allegations”, but it still doesn’t feel right seeing someone accused of stalking coeds still representing a university.

Florida is playing their first game against a top 50 opponent. They did play 4 ACC teams, though, just not the one good ACC team.

I know an insider here has said Pope is out of his league, but I think Pope is an upgrade over Calipari for Kentucky. He's already beaten three Top 10 teams and Arkansas looks like a mess.

Arkansas has an "easy" SEC schedule. Their doubles are LSU, Missouri, and Texas. If they had a tougher schedule, I'd bet on them missing the tournament and it wouldn't surprise me if they did anyway.

Every game Tennessee plays continues to make the Illini-Vols game look better for Illinois.
a buddy of mine called me during my recent rough period and told me his son (who is a regular student @ tenn) told him that the word on campus there is that the Illini were the best and most physical opponent that they have faced this year.......

not an official quote I know , but anything like that is encouraging to me......it really really is....

I was thinking the same thing. Iowa peaked under Fran when they had Garza. He'll be gone within the next 5 years as they continue to fall further and further down the 18-team B10.
I don’t think he’ll make it beyond next year if things continue as they’ve been. Was surprised to learn not long ago that he’s never gotten Iowa past second round.

I watched the UNC/Notre Dame game. It is a great example of why you foul on the floor when you're up 3 at the end of a game. It was a head scratcher.

UK-Florida is a great game. two teams that play similar up tempo styles to us, which seems to be the way things are trending
A game against either team would be highly, highly entertaining regardless of who won.

Not sure where to put this, please all indulge me a personal moment. We lost an Illini last week, just found out about it today. And far too young.

Fellow 89 graduate, business fraternity brother, and great friend. He was 99% a lurker here and very rarely posted, but you would never have found a more passionate, loyal, or dedicated Illinois fan.

I am devastated. The best Illini sports week ever is now simultaneously the worst. Godspeed @Kcillini31 and say hi to Lou up there for me.

I don’t like “liking” your post. So sorry for your loss, @Battle89. You and your friend’s family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Talk about how bad the ACC is... Notre Dame might be the worst team in that conference. UNC needed an and-one three with 5 seconds to beat them by 1 🤮
