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:

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...

I love overreacting to early season KenPom so… Up to #3. Purdue down to #7 after their close call vs. Oakland.

@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"

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.

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.

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.

Tennessee over Illinois at #25 in the CFP poll is fascinating to me. 6-3 Illinois Losses: #1, #2, #23 Best win: #19 USC SOR: #19 6-3 Tennessee Losses: #4, #5, #12 Best win: Miss St (NR) SOR: #29 It tells me 63-10 really mattered. Which means everyone should run up every score.

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.
