We don't get a 2-seed or better I'm going HAM on this board.* - Warrin'_Illini February 16, 2026, 15:35:46
Ho hum. Another FOTW award for Wagler* - illinilosch February 16, 2026, 15:06:50
- Will Mirk win another one this season?* - DocWalk20 February 16, 2026, 17:33:54
Thought this was cool - biclops February 16, 2026, 14:17:15
Michigan @ Purdue tomorrow. They should allow Edey to come back and throw - Warrin'_Illini February 16, 2026, 13:49:34
ROTFLMAO - jdl February 16, 2026, 13:10:35
something I've been thinking about is retention for next year - ijustkrushalot February 16, 2026, 12:16:41
- Does Mirk go pro? NLI is probably better than second round nba money.* - Toonces February 16, 2026, 17:39:54
  - I don’t think he’s athletic enough to touch the NBA.* - voiceofreason February 16, 2026, 19:13:59
    - I think he's going to be shockingly good in the NBA, and I wouldn't be surprised if... - uofi1998 February 17, 2026, 9:39:27
    - The best player in the world is not athletic - bjl63 February 17, 2026, 8:56:41
      - He’s more athletic than Mirk and 6’11/290. I would love to see Mirk in the NBA, but - voiceofreason February 17, 2026, 9:29:10
      - I think Mirk has the fundamentals and shooting touch to play at the next level. - illinilosch February 17, 2026, 9:00:34
        
        Future MrsDoc laughs every time she watches an Illini game and sees him run down the court. - ibdoc February 17, 2026, 9:26:32
        
        The faster he runs the funnier it gets. I’ve grown to love it now. I need a gif with Mirk and - voiceofreason February 17, 2026, 9:32:27
        
        That being said, maybe he'd benefit from some time with a track coach in the off season. * - Tuscy February 17, 2026, 9:33:46
        
        Same for my wife. * - Tuscy February 17, 2026, 9:28:40
- I think the twins probably stay* - Tooldresser February 16, 2026, 14:04:58

  - i want larry bird's cousin at murray state* - assassin February 16, 2026, 12:54:00
    - Roman Domon is definitely a thing - LWillhite February 16, 2026, 13:11:25
      - Throwin' down gang signs as a freshman: that's part of the Murray State culture. - osklister February 17, 2026, 8:37:07
- I feel we need to get bit more athletic* - Mrap24 February 16, 2026, 12:39:47
  - Agreed. The Vic's would be a good start, but need some athleticism to replace - UofIL6 February 16, 2026, 13:07:24
    - Hoping Lee can step into that role * - jdl February 16, 2026, 13:11:32
      - He’s a level too high IMO. Not an eye popping athlete and not terribly skilled* - CWR10 February 16, 2026, 14:12:16
      - I’m not holding my breath for that to happen. * - harb February 16, 2026, 13:34:32
        
        Why not? * - jdl February 16, 2026, 14:10:41
        
        Really no recent precedent for Brad locking in a bigger role to someone who didn’t even show flashes - OB25 February 16, 2026, 14:18:01
        
        I wasn't suggesting he'd start - jdl February 16, 2026, 15:24:43
        
        Hopefully Brad is already tampering with Blackwell* - Blazer February 16, 2026, 14:43:28
        
        After his post-game antics last week, I’m not sure I want him. - JFG February 16, 2026, 15:02:50
        
        I was hoping for that the last 2 offseasons, have given up that hope now.* - OB25 February 16, 2026, 14:57:22
        
        Yep, there were rumors Brad was trying to lure him here last off season. Didn't happen. - Kajagoogoo February 16, 2026, 16:27:16
        
        *likes* - UofIL6 February 16, 2026, 14:43:58
- I would not be surprised at all if Stojakovic hits the portal * - biclops February 16, 2026, 12:27:58
  - I hope not, but I think a lot of that depends on how the next 2 months go. - JFG February 16, 2026, 15:20:32
  - I hope not but that would be 4 schools in 4 years. Seems to have worked out for Tre White - Warrin'_Illini February 16, 2026, 13:17:13
  - These days, nothing surprises me about the portal. * - OWWDig February 16, 2026, 12:28:59
We are #10 in the AP this week* - OWWDig February 16, 2026, 12:07:03
- Not good enough. Should be in front of the 3 (Neb, KU, PU) currently in front of us.* - Warrin'_Illini February 16, 2026, 13:11:33
So is there really that much of a difference between a 2 and 3 seed? - ISeeDeadHawkeyes February 16, 2026, 11:37:13
- Historically the biggest difference in seed records - CanHartlebHireSnider February 16, 2026, 12:27:11
  - In the 1st round 2s win 93% 3s win 85% - CanHartlebHireSnider February 16, 2026, 12:46:02
    - Intriguing* - reggiedunlop February 16, 2026, 12:53:33
- not really, other than possible priority for Chicago - ijustkrushalot February 16, 2026, 12:14:03
  - I'm not entirely sure that they do. If we win out and they lose to Purdue, Duke, and us - GMAW February 16, 2026, 12:28:58
  - And along those lines, the biggest difference between 2/3 might be St. Louis - Blazer February 16, 2026, 12:23:25
- Look at it this way...if you're a 3 seed, you would theoretically play a really - OWWDig February 16, 2026, 12:05:03
  - Youre going to play the 2 vs 3 eventually anyways* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes February 16, 2026, 12:28:44
    - Indeed, but I'd rather play the first two rounds in St. Louis rather than getting shipped to Philly* - Blazer February 16, 2026, 12:54:29
      - Yeah game location was the one thing I didnt consider at all - ISeeDeadHawkeyes February 16, 2026, 13:09:24
  - Right, but if we take a 2 seed away from one of them, they'll be a 3 seed. - Illiniphil February 16, 2026, 12:13:09
    - yea. Just looking at those 8 I listed, I'd rather be in the top half than bottom half.* - OWWDig February 16, 2026, 12:25:23
- Nope. For all the hand wringing on the 2 losses, we are still a really solid 2. - Carl Spackler February 16, 2026, 12:04:23
  - Yep, still holding strong as a 2 on the matrix - Blazer February 16, 2026, 12:13:38
- This year I don't think so - jdl February 16, 2026, 11:58:41
BTW, just want to say Hummer really played great basketball yesterday. - uofi1998 February 16, 2026, 11:22:19
- He and Jake have both made such a difference in all the little things that have to happen for a win. - JFG February 16, 2026, 11:28:29

    - Who doesn’t these days?+ - ATL February 16, 2026, 12:03:16
- He was. Got a better reaction than the cringe emcee dude* - OWWDig February 16, 2026, 10:11:55
  - When did we start having him (emcee dude)? He tries, but not a fan* - ibdoc February 16, 2026, 10:32:44
    - Pretty sure this is the first year. It's just so cringeworthy. I don't need him leading - OWWDig February 16, 2026, 11:32:41
- that's hot - IlliniSax05 February 16, 2026, 9:54:06

- We gotta get you a DVR my guy* - assassin February 15, 2026, 22:38:09

Goodness. This was the one BU was most upset about, rightly - John Coctostan February 15, 2026, 17:54:17
- If that’s the one at the end of 1st half, it followed at least 2 freedom of movement fouls too.* - OB25 February 15, 2026, 21:02:45
  - It was. The same one (sorry to do this to you brother) that blazer called out as not a foul at - John Coctostan February 15, 2026, 21:17:20
    - I do think our lack of fouling on defense hurts our ability to get calls on offense. I’m sure the - meanjeans February 16, 2026, 9:31:00
    - No need to apologize, I deserve to be called on that one. Terrible* - Blazer February 15, 2026, 22:47:34
    - My best explanation is because his drives are slow and methodical. - OB25 February 15, 2026, 21:27:28

    - Decent chance I think - jdl February 15, 2026, 14:10:25

    - Unfortunately I don’t think “should” exists anymore * - assassin February 15, 2026, 13:59:59
      - I would think he’d get a decent chunk of our budget* - Herman Blume February 15, 2026, 14:07:11
        
        Him and Brad seem like a personality match too* - CWR10 February 15, 2026, 15:00:06
        
        More likely than not is the most optimistic I’ll be. - assassin February 15, 2026, 14:30:22

5 on kenpom, offense up to 131, not a huge bounce for defense* - Blazer February 15, 2026, 13:47:51

- This game is why the losses don’t bug me much. At full health, we have so many ways to win games - John Coctostan February 15, 2026, 13:41:32
  - They only bug me in the sense that they’ll probably drop us a seed like. But nothing about them… - OB25 February 15, 2026, 13:47:42
    - I think they probably closed the door on a 1, but 2 still very much in play* - Blazer February 15, 2026, 13:48:50
      - Probably need a 4-1 close to have a chance.* - OB25 February 15, 2026, 14:02:56
        
        Depends on what the committee values - Blazer February 15, 2026, 14:26:57

That foul on Ben was less egregious than what they've been doing to Keaton all day. * - Tuscy February 15, 2026, 13:37:36
- Agreed, that one was bad, and completely inconsistent from the rest of the game* - Blazer February 15, 2026, 13:38:51
Take the TO right now and double up* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes February 15, 2026, 13:37:15
- Or maybe take Wagler out for a few?* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes February 15, 2026, 13:39:22

- no idea.* - Ari Gold February 15, 2026, 13:36:06
Tomi getting cooked on defense today* - Blazer February 15, 2026, 13:29:22

- Agree. Seems silly we haven’t used a single TO 30 mins into this game* - John Coctostan February 15, 2026, 13:25:24
  - Agreed. Even with 7 guys, Brad needs to manage this better* - Blazer February 15, 2026, 13:29:01

    - At the bucket, not on the drive - Blazer February 15, 2026, 13:21:32
      - Fouls are fouls. You can’t just say we know they’re missing some so stop driving. Silly. Also - John Coctostan February 15, 2026, 13:29:11
        
        Keaton was defending with his hands, not bodying and moving his feet - Blazer February 15, 2026, 13:30:35
        
        Yeah I agree lots of contact being let go both ways* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes February 15, 2026, 13:31:14

that was a bad challenge.* - Ari Gold February 15, 2026, 13:08:18
LFG* - biclops February 15, 2026, 13:04:28
We really should slip more screens. Everybody overplays the three* - John Coctostan February 15, 2026, 13:03:00
- We hardly set any actual screens - jdl February 15, 2026, 13:07:07

- Your remote broken?* - bjl63 February 15, 2026, 12:47:33
I don’t think Keaton was fouled at the bucket, but they allowed an absurd amount of contact - Blazer February 15, 2026, 12:44:35
- Refs are 100% actively and aggressively keeping Indiana in the game. Totally biased - meanjeans February 15, 2026, 12:50:55
  - Now that’s a meanjeans take - Blazer February 15, 2026, 12:58:29
    - I saw what I saw. They know exactly what they’re doing. I recognize it, and it’s horseshit* - meanjeans February 15, 2026, 13:00:58

        Incompetence is not evidence of conspiracy* - Blazer February 15, 2026, 13:05:59
        
        Also note that we’re coming off two straight hose jobs before this game * - meanjeans February 15, 2026, 13:09:13
        
        So do you genuinely believe the B1G talks to the refs before the game - Blazer February 15, 2026, 13:13:35
        
        No not explicit every game. I believe there’s a hierarchy that for some reason Illinois is not in. - meanjeans February 15, 2026, 13:21:07
        
        Somehow every fanbase in the B1G also believes this - Blazer February 15, 2026, 13:40:10
        
        One of the best parts about being right is that I’m right whether you believe it or not * - meanjeans February 15, 2026, 13:42:04
        
        If it were incompetence it would effect us positively as often as negatively * - meanjeans February 15, 2026, 13:07:41

Big props to Krush today. They are loud and insane right now.* - JFG February 15, 2026, 12:20:09
