Horrible offense, tons of turnovers, best player can’t buy a bucket, six charges called against you, bad goaltend call late, all against the

team in the country at the Garden.
Still find a way. That’s one hell of a win.

Loyola was good. Houston is good. But eventually we need to win tournament games we aren’t supposed to and stop with the “Illinois got screwed by the Committee” narrative

Nimari Burnett and Coleman Hawkins were high school teammates. Burnett was top 40. Hawkins was unranked.
Burnett scored 4 points tonight and watched Hawkins come to town, win by 15, and put up 21-10-4-6.

Nebraska has no coach. Wisconsin has no coach. Iowa seems content without an offense for the foreseeable future. Northwestern is trash.
Very encouraged by where Illinois currently sits.

I really, really hope Curbelo comes back next year. Melendez and Hawkins have crazy-high ceilings. Love the freshmen coming in and think you have a good chance to add a couple more high impact kids for next year. Oh yeah, and Kofi could come back.

Isaiah Williams embracing the move to wide receiver and not immediately hitting the transfer portal (at a time when it’s never been easier to do so) makes him one of my all-time favorites

Illinois just went into Omaha and took an OL away from the Huskers. Not your father’s Illinois football.

During the best run of basketball in the last 15+ years of our program, Andre Curbelo was our best player. It’s amazing how confident Illinois fans are that he’s so easily replaceable because of a down year that was riddled with injuries and other issues.

Your ninth player came in and changed the entire game. That’s depth.

We’ve sat through years of good players from this state choosing to play for Fleck and Fitzgerald over Illinois.
In year one, Bielema goes to Minneapolis and sinks the boat then dismantles Fitzee at home.
Changes are coming.

That Ryan Walters went from an assistant whose departure Missouri fans celebrated to the head coach of a Big Ten program in two years is a testament to Bret Bielema

If I was the Illini coach, I would have the greatest walk-on program. Just always two or three spot-shooting bruisers from Class A programs.
Tell me with a straight face that you wouldn’t love to see some 6’4 fat kid from T-Town out there setting screens and just wrecking shit.

Pretty cool that the two active NBA players from Illinois are Ayo and Malcolm Hill - easily two of the most likeable players to ever play for us. I’ll be rooting like hell for Malcolm to stick.

Tournaments are weird. I’m as disappointed as anyone but we’ve been the best Big Ten team over the last three years and just won the league. We’ll be fine.

That’s a game Illinois loses without Damonte Williams. That kid has worked his ass off and become a pretty nice player. Knows his role and fills it so well.

Marquez Beason loved Illinois football as much as we do and chose us when he had far better options on the table. I will always root for that kid.

It’s pretty simple. No one really cares about the BTT win last year because of Loyola. No one will care about the BTT loss this year if we avoid another Loyola.

Cowardly offensive playcalling with a chance to ice the game. Devito is one of the most efficient passers in the country, so passing probably keeps the clock moving. Such a heartbreaker.

Big win for Mizzou and their fans. They were tougher and better coached.
This Illinois team is far too talented to come out and get waxed like this. Underwood needs to take a long look in the mirror. I’m sick of the hype, the hashtags, the dancing - go win some damn games.

Illini basketball starts on Friday in a season where they’re expected to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012-2013. On Saturday, Illini football has a chance to win three straight Big Ten games for the first time since 2007.
Progress.

Who tests for concussions at Illinois? Curbelo played with one against Marquette and others, Kofi played with one against Purdue, Lovie Smith coached with one for five straight seasons. Seems like an issue.

Underwood’s staff is so well-balanced. Antigua as a national and even international recruiter with a demonstrated ability to develop bigs. Chin with the deep Chicago/AAU connections. Gentry with analytics and familiarity with Underwood’s system.

I’ll bet Whitman wasn’t going to do anything until he realized the Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of New Brunswick was on the case
The behavior exhibited below by Coach Underwood does not satisfy the missions of either the Illinois Athletic Department (
@IlliniAthletics
) or the NCAA. If the
@UofIllinois
and the
@NCAA
are serious about athlete welfare, Coach Underwood must be censured for this conduct.

If Skyy Clark tried to time his commitment as an “eff you” to us, that’s honestly hysterical. It’s hard to put into words how little I care that he left. Regret the decision to take him but feel nothing about him leaving.
