Pinning this here so I can point people to it. For everyone with questions about our subscriptions and Slack and everything else, I wrote it all out in this article. I've relied too much on the FAQ's & needed a "here's how it works" article so here you go:
illiniboard.com
I've realized something the last 24 hours: I've done a TERRIBLE job explaining how subscriptions work around here. This article will be nothing more than an explanation of how it all works. I'm...

Things People Think They Should Tell Me.
@ALionEye No real half court offense. 4 guys around arc and then 1:1 breakdown drives. Won’t work against top tier talent. BU should use these games to work on high-low and post work. Wasted opportunity

"Yeah they're 2-0, averaging 113 a game and Top 5 in Kenpom despite a SF 49ers level injury rate...They play Texas Tech Tuesday tho, should be a good game"

I knew that three was gonna fall. Teams shoot 95% in that situation.
I know @ALionEye is at home sweating 11x-6x vs 11x-7x.

Sitting here thinking about ten years ago right now. Opened the season losing to North Florida 93-81 and beating North Dakota State by 6. Ten years later, we beat Jackson State 113-55 and now we lead FGCU 94-47 at the under-8.

Six hours. That’s all it took for a small business to get slammed with a 50% tariff. Elana Woldenberg Ruffman, VP of Marketing and Product Development at @hand2mind, shares how “emergency” tariffs forced her team to sprint across continents to make a children’s toy—only to be

FGCU shows full court pressure and the #Illini turn it into a Big Z dunk. I’m guessing Brad Underwood would love for teams to pressure his offense. It’s 16-1 and Andrej Stojakovic will check in for his Illinois debut after the media TO.

I unlocked this article from Wednesday because it answers a lot of the questions/comments I've received on Twitter over the last month. Let's just call this "here's the bye week resting place for my brain during a 6-3 season":

It's been a while since I just sat down and wrote out what's on my mind. The basketball preview is published, and this is a football bye week, so I think I'm in the frame of mind to frame my mind....

I’m excited to see all of these Pat Bryant highlights but let’s not forget Palcho too. Here he is celebrating the final first down that allowed the Broncos to kneel it out. Love seeing him playing well in the NFL.

Yeah that's kind of exactly what I'm talking about. I'd hate a world where a team is up by 28 and calling timeouts to try to run up the score but you basically have to now, right? This seems like a clear sign that the committee has shifted to a system that weighs scoring margins.
@ALionEye Exactly why I was frustrated we sat on it at the end of the Rutgers game

I feel like this is the clearest signal ever that garbage time is over. If scoring margin matters, no team should ever take a knee. I'm being serious. If you're down by 31, leave the starters in & use your timeouts to try to get it back to 17 even though the win is out of reach.

Maybe this is already out there but I just saw this tweet from Norlander - Tomi is on the watch list for the Oscar Robertson Trophy.
The @USBWA early season watch list for the Oscar Robertson Trophy — the longest running NPOY award — is 50 names deep and was voted on in the days leading up to the season. https://t.co/YCYD4o8T6n

I really do enjoy when people send me photos of the previews printed out. I'd do it too (if I didn't, you know, write it). You know what? Tyler writes half of the basketball preview. I think I'm gonna print it out next year and read his sections that way. Resolved.

I'll tell you this. That's the first 6x-1x I've ever seen in the rebounding column. 61 rebounds for Illinois, 19 for Jackson State.

Had three shots at the record. All three threes missed. So the record remains the 18 made threes on December 18th, 2021.

The thing to watch this final 6:49 of the game: the Illini three-pointer record is 18 in a single game (against St. Francis in 2021). Illini sitting at 16 made threes at the moment.

Mirkovic now needs 6 more assists for the triple-double. 16 minutes to get it.
