@TheRavenScalar @ThinkAppraiser Why go to the trouble of milking the cow when the milk is free at the neighbors right?

@MarkZinno More than just a brain for sports! Businesses pay a myriad of taxes that aren’t income taxes not to mention what they spend in regulatory to be compliant with government edict. Income tax on a company is irrelevant.

If by a miracle Illini get Blackwell, which I don’t think they will, they have to be strongly considered for preseason #1

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

Illinois is set to return five of its top eight scorers and 62.1% of its scoring from a Final Four team while adding Stefan Vaaks (15.7 PPG) from Providence.

The Illini should be on fire entering 2026-27.

It’s not complicated. Zero off ball screens. Iso stupid ball. Step back contested nonsense shots throw up by freshmen. Shocker that gameplan doesn’t work against a disciplined team working together. Same story different year

WILD stat from ESPN Research ..

Illinois' fewest points in a game over the last three seasons:

52 points: 2024 Elite Eight vs. UConn
61 points: Nov. 28, 2025 vs. UConn
62 points: 2026 Final Four vs. UConn

Illinois will never beat a well coached team with Brad underwood. Great recruiter once again dogshit at Xs and Os.

This is criminal assault in 42 states

After much thought and consideration I’ve decided today is a good day for someone to TAKE ME TO THE BALAKANS! It’s game day baby wake up! #ILL

@jeffbuff73 This is why people promoted from within so people at the top had intimate knowledge of every level of the business. Unfortunately we’re now run by stock manipulators and educated idiots!

[🏈 Chase Smith 🏈 @Chazzle99]

This is what happens when PE guys make decisions. Coaches and former players would KNOW this is a bad idea. But some jackass with a fancy degree and no knowledge will say in a PowerPoint how this improves the bottom line having zero knowledge of the sport or consumer.

[Sports Business Journal @SBJ]

NCAA leadership is expected to finalize an expansion of the men’s and women’s tournaments to 76 teams soon after this year’s tournament 🏀

The proposal would add eight games to the First Four, with 24 teams playing in an opening round before advancing into the main bracket.

@MrJoeyCheese @PokerCookieM It was one hell of a game! Dan deserves a medal for that coaching job in the second half.

[🏈 Chase Smith 🏈 @Chazzle99]

@PokerCookieM @MrJoeyCheese Sure. The only thing that matters at the score at the end. At the same time going down 19 to a team with more talent probably isn’t gonna end with you hitting a half courter to win at the buzzer all that often.

[🏈 Chase Smith 🏈 @Chazzle99]

@MrJoeyCheese I just said he’s a great coach. He’s obviously a huge advantage. But going down 15 to a team with more talent than you probably isn’t a good blueprint to win consistently. Not every team will shit their pants with the lead.

[🏈 Chase Smith 🏈 @Chazzle99]

@MrJoeyCheese I mean they were down 15 at half so wasn’t entirely incorrect. Hurley is a great coach but I wouldn’t see that as a real blueprint for success. Be interesting to see where things fall closer to tip

@jeffbuff73 Let’s hope this is a loser Buffy!
