No wait at concessions/restrooms...

Posted by Blazer
|
20 Arkansas at 25 Alabama? Nah. In this house we watch Rutgers at Penn State*

JT Toppin out for the year with a torn ACL*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Torn ACL for JT Toppin. Brutal*
Posted by OB25
|
I was perusing future 247 recruit rankings, some notable “Jr’s” that I saw on the lists.
Posted by OB25
|
Apparently Hoiberg took a "swing" at a fan and ended up accidentally hitting an Iowa Asst.
Posted by tvillini
|
100% ok with this... if you want to taunt someone you might catch a slap
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
That's the way to go, FIne and punish anyone that causes issues during a court storm
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
I think JFG is right. After the Duke/UNC thing... we're moving towards HEAVY fines.
Posted by tvillini
|
The local DA basically called Scheyer a liar haha*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Looks like he was apologizing not yelling. He points at the fan
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
I'd tend to agree, but there's a bit of a quick grab of the guy's arm that looks sus.
Posted by tvillini
|
The initial grab is def a bit forced
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Honestly can't blame the guy. That's a stupid student to put a phone in a coach's face.*
Posted by JFG
|
Kid posted it too
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
So dumb. Each year I feel it's getting closer to freaking plexiglass and no court storming.*
Posted by JFG
|
Altman has to be done after this season, right?*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
i'll always think "was almost our coach" whenever i see him. *
Posted by VIV
|
Unless he does the "can't go out like this" thing *
Posted by jdl
|
B1G jobs that could open
Posted by Poldark "Props to Bruce Rauner." "The whole SFC experience sucks."

i was just thinking the same thing

|
Bad looking knee injury for JT Toppin*
Posted by OB25
|
More of Mick Cronin being a douchebag.
Posted by OB25
|
Greggggggg with a new hit piece on him
Posted by assassin
|
Worst part of his tough guy act is that he’s instilled a soft culture in other ways.
Posted by OB25
|
I just don't understand trying to be Bob Knight without being able to back it up.
Posted by tvillini
|
more like Dick Groanin'*
Posted by VIV
|
Ejecting his own player was also pretty bad
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
It was an out of control foul, but at least the kid hustled and gave effort down the court.
Posted by JFG
|
Man, just so unlikeable
Posted by snipes824
|
hopefully his team is quitting on him*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
he must be massively different behind closed doors, right?
Posted by Sammich
|
maybe? but even if so, and the line to the team is 'i'll take the bullets out there for you"
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I cannot imagine sending my kid to play for him. Doesn't this schtick hurt recruiting?*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
Would do well on most sports message boards
Posted by jdl
|
are you using all-caps at me?*
Posted by Sammich
|
"Why do I have to put up with the non-Los Angeles press people at all?"
Posted by osklister
|
Lol. What a giant cunt. *
Posted by Tuscy
|
I mean, be a dick. But then to be like "are you raising your voice at me?"...Precious.*
Posted by JFG
|
Yeah, most of it is his default “my players suck ass and it’s not my fault” schtick.
Posted by illini
|
Trying to humiliate a guy who's trying to do his job making $50k a year.
Posted by Tuscy
|
Been on the downslide since he caught lighting in a bottle in the 2023 tourney.
Posted by JFG
|
Good lord he is such a penis*
Posted by illini21
|
He’s lost his mind this season. Saying the most terrible shit possible every week. *
Posted by illini
|
He has been the most miserable human for years now. No one saw it at Cincy because there

This Gopher / Duck game is electric

|
UGa about to beat Kentucky at Rupp*
Posted by bjl63
|
Iowa has an alarming lack of offensive talent outside of Stirtz*
Posted by OB25
|
Speaking of “lack of offense”, I just flipped over to Oregon vs Minny*
Posted by Philo
|
Come on. If Oregon hadn’t blown a layup they would have scored 19 instead of 17 in the first half.
Posted by DocWalk20
|
That is the saddest court storm I’ve seen in awhile*
Posted by Blazer
|
Couple of ridiculous calls against Nebraska down the stretch
Posted by Blazer
|
Yeah if that was us I would have been really insufferable *
Posted by meanjeans
|
lol*
Posted by Blazer
|
Their late game offense has been Weberian*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Not just late game, been like that for most of the game.*
Posted by OB25
|
And Stirtz gets the Keaton Wagler whistle too.*
Posted by OB25
|
Bucky stay in the top 25 may be brief *
Posted by jdl
|
Badgers are mid. Hate that we lost that game.*
Posted by nash
|
How the hell does that happen?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
7/26 from 3 *
Posted by meanjeans

Jake Diebler has plenty of time to screw this up*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
They did it Tess! They did it! Lifetime extension for Jake!*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Wisconsin 1/7 from three at tOSU, because of course *
Posted by meanjeans

UCLA fixing’ to get blown out in both legs of their Michigan trip.
Posted by OB25
|
Mick closes things out by ejecting his own player
Posted by OB25
|
Who could quit on this guy?
Posted by jdl
|
Smith smacks Johnson in the face with the ball. Foul on Johnson. LOL.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Saint Louis down 11 at Rhode Island *
Posted by Poldark "Props to Bruce Rauner." "The whole SFC experience sucks."
|
This game may never end despite never once being in doubt.*
Posted by OB25
|
C’mon, keep the double digit margin here.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Michigan’s is like, really good *
Posted by MC
|
Hard to do much better than #4 offense & #1 defense*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Good fake rally *
Posted by jdl
|
Now that’s the Elliot Cadeau we know and love, airmailing a pass 10 feet over Yaxel’s head*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Some brutal 5 and 6 point swings down the stretch here, but Michigan is just heads and shoulders
Posted by Blazer
|
Yeah. Probably gonna need a good home whistle too. So.*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
We match up a lot better
Posted by jdl
|
Morez apparently allowed to play on skates tonight*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
That was ridiculous*
Posted by Blazer
|
So many traveling calls get made because they look like someone traveled but didn’t. But that
Posted by DocWalk20
|
It is enjoyable to see Fletcher Loyer implode NGL*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Only watched 6 minutes
Posted by ab75
|
I know I’m dating myself here but Cluff reminds me of the goons from Popeye*
Posted by biclops
|
That's twice Loyer has fired an airball with a chance to get Purdue back in the game*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Fletcher LOLyer*
Posted by OB25
|
Loyer doing his Ben impersonation tonight *
Posted by jdl
|
North Carolina State up 16 on North Carolina *
Posted by Poldark "Props to Bruce Rauner." "The whole SFC experience sucks."
|
Loyer has had some timely airball threes tonight. LOL.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
You don’t realize how 2 person team Purdue is until you watch a Braden off night
Posted by snipes824
|
McKinney and Cason are what can make Michigan a juggernaut.
Posted by OB25
|
Cadeau being a 40% 3 point shooter helps too *
Posted by jdl
|
Somehow Elliot Cadeau is badly outplaying Braden Smith. Not exactly a recipe for success, Purdue*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Been grading...checked ESPN...Dammit Boilers, you had 1 job. G-d I hate scUM*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Mad props to Mackey for being so engaged still. SFC would be a crypt if went down like this early*
Posted by Blazer
|
LOL TKR *
Posted by jdl
|
Purdue can’t even begin to compete of Braden Smith is invisible *
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Painter seemed to decide that Mayer was the better option in this game*
Posted by OB25
|
And went away from Loyer some reason even though he’s hitting his shots tonight*
Posted by Blazer
|
Mara is a shithead isn’t he?*
Posted by ilinni11
|
Lol tkr*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Purdue is wack.*
Posted by Toonces
|
Wiggity wiggity wack*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Yikes *
Posted by biclops
|
Cluff is awful*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Purdue getting absolutely emasculated. This version of Michigan is unbeatable.*
Posted by OB25
|
I’ll restate my belief that this Purdue roster is terrible
Posted by Blazer
|
Yeah the whole "we got Cluff so TKR can play the 4"...
Posted by jdl
|
Agreed. 5 seed masquerading as a 2, only because Painter is a really good coach.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
bloodbath*
Posted by assassin
|
Wut?-*
Posted by ilinni11
|
lmao*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Wtf*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
My god. Fears does worse than that every single game*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
From what I've seen Cluff is second in the B1G only to Fears in dirty plays. *
Posted by larue33
|
I know you all hate UM and rightfully so, but you really should hate Purdue fans more as well.
Posted by OB25
|
There’s plenty of hate for both*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Michigan bigs way more athletic. already 5 offensive rebounds *
Posted by Poldark "Props to Bruce Rauner." "The whole SFC experience sucks."
|
CLuff and TKR are so limited *
Posted by jdl
|
Must really grind Painter’s gears to see a good 7’4” guy playing for the other team.*
Posted by OB25
|
But also, one that doesn't move like an arthritic robot. *
Posted by osklister
|
nm. *
Posted by osklister
|
doesn't seem like Purdue can guard UM for 40 minutes*
Posted by assassin
|
Purdue is gonna need Cluff to start squeezing some of these boards he’s missing*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Morez and TKR have already launched 3s
Posted by jdl
|
Tomorrow is a true test of what means more to you as an Illini fan.
Posted by OB25
|
One of the biggest games of the year and a weird 5:30 start on The Cock.
Posted by JFG
|
Ann Arbor is a whore. F*ck scUM every second of every damn day*
Posted by OWWDig
|
^^^this is how I feel, excet OWWDig was nicer about it than I would have been...^^^*
Posted by Illiniphil

^^this^^ *

Rooting for Purdue is the only correct answer*
Posted by Quiz
|
Im rooting for Purdue. Plus I still think pie in the sky best case scenario is Purdue win*

Ordinarily my hate for Purdue would trump all but I have specific hate reserved for Michigan on the

90/100 years, care more about b1g. this year, whatever it takes to have a better path to a FF*

Posted by Blazer
|
People still care about conference titles in bball?*
Posted by gullit
|
As a measure of program success, I care way more about the regular season than March. But…
Posted by OB25
|
I still care about conf titles. It's the B1G Tourney I don't care about much anymore.
Posted by illinilosch
|
They've been diminished via conference expansion but haven't completely disappeared *
Posted by jdl
|
I don't care a ton about 2-4, I want the triple bye mainly because
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
it's the first thing we can win. If we win the conference the seed will follow *
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
Yes?*
Posted by GMAW
|
It makes more sense than over-valuing the NCAA tournament.*
Posted by JFG
|
I do not but fuck Michigan*
Posted by bjl63
|
I do AND fuck Michigan.*
Posted by Illiniphil
|
Hear hear. I can't want a scum win. Purdue is kinda close but... eff scum forever.
Posted by osklister
|
Yes*
Posted by illini21
|
nm*
Posted by illini21
|
Go Purdue. B1G titles still mean a lot to me*
Posted by illini21
|
Fuck Michigan. Always and forever. *
Posted by uofi1998
|
Not sure I really care either way.
Posted by illinilosch
|
Go Purdue*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
I disagree with your premise. We win out and win the B1G, we're the top 2 and possibly a 1.
Posted by Illiniphil
|
I don't care if Purdue is a 2, but I do care about St. Louis
Posted by Blazer
|
Fuck Michigan tonight, tomorrow and forever. I want them to go 0-2 this week
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Carpet bomb Ann Arbor *
Posted by uofi1998
|
To the surprise of no one, Go Purdue. Winning the B1G > Playing in StL*
Posted by GMAW
|
Purdue for me*
Posted by snipes824
|
Yeah, I don’t care about an unbalanced league title. Rooting for Michigan here is easy.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
This*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Neither scenario is petty enough*
Posted by RVA
|
If we win out, we’ll be a 2 seed regardless
Posted by Blazer
|
4 pts for Houston in the last 7 mins. Yikes. Weber esque*
Posted by Blazer
|
I would have no problem with Houston or Iowa State as our 1
Posted by meanjeans
|
I'd like another shot at UConn *
Posted by jdl
|
Same thought watching tonight.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Houston’s offense down the stretch was brutal. So much dribbling*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Damn. KU over Zona last Monday and ISU over HOU today. Not what we wanted.*
Posted by OB25
|
Nope*
Posted by Blazer
|
We’re better than both of these teams by a substantial margin btw *
Posted by meanjeans
|
I’m pretty sure Tomi would absolutely devour Blake Buchanan *
Posted by meanjeans
|
They’re all short *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Crazy shot making from Houston*
Posted by OB25

IA St crowd is lit*

Good start.*
