Shannon back. Expect Hawkins later tonight.. One more portal guy to follow soon.

Marquette/Illinois will be just fine.

TJ Shannon will likely return and he was first team all conference last season.

They raised over $500,000 for cancer research at this event in tiny Gordyville, Illinois.

Thursday is the day to “kiss an Angel good morning.” 🤪

Christie is a good player, but what “many basketball observers” rated him the best in Illinois? Fears (Michigan State) has always been the clear number one in the senior class. Ames (Kansas State) is probably number 2. Fears is ranked in the 30s nationally while Christie is outside the top...

Sarcasm? DePaul is way behind in the NIL game.

I watched the Illinois game again. Refs were ridiculously bad in the second half. Illinois got horrible calls. Since Illinois won, it’s not sour grapes. The Big Ten wants as many teams in the tourney as possible. It’s pretty obvious that they wanted Rutgers and Michigan to win last night...

Just read a list of the top ten 2023 recruits in Illinois. Four are headed to the Big Ten. 9. Brock Harding (Iowa) 5. Owen Freeman (Iowa) 3. Cameron Christie (Minnesota) 1. Jeremy Fears (Michigan State)

“The Reverend” Roger Powell has never been a head coach. He was an assistant at Vandy.

It’s obviously talent level. Recruit more talent is part of the answer. If your overall talent level is better, you can absorb injuries better. Last season Illinois had the most missed games in the country by rotation players and won the Big Ten. Minnesota has some talent but the talent...

I went to Illinois/Grand Canyon several years ago. Not my video but it shows the atmosphere.

February 20. Keep it open on your schedule.

Need to reschedule. Over 15,000 tickets sold. I have 2. Why deprive fans of game? There are only so many games in a season.

Everybody is after the younger Fears.

Rutgers is coming off a loss. At Rutgers is a tough place to play. They play in a tiny (for a BT school), so it’s loud. Illinois overlooked Nebraska last night and the game was tougher than it needed to be. Have no idea why they would overlook anyone. No sure things in the BT.

I’m surprised that Evans didn’t make it. Christie not so much. He’s not ranked nearly high enough to be considered.

Christie is a good recruit but he is nowhere near the top 2023 recruit in Illinois. Jeremy Fears is ranked in the 20s on both Rivals and 247 and is going to Michigan State. Dai Dai Ames is ranked in the 50s and headed to Kansas State. Christie is ranked above 120. Again, good recruit but not...

Illinois? Never seen Illinois in black uniforms.

Getting upset in the tournament is why Underwood has tried to build a different type of roster. Underwood’s sample size is small at Illinois so I’m not sure what conclusions to draw yet. Two tournaments so far. Would have been three except for the cancelled one. Two years ago was a true...
