Meatball sports fan (a spicy one at that). Talents including laying in the sun and looking at my phone. These views are most certainly my own.

NEWS: Tomislav Ivisic, Zvonimir Ivisic and Jake Davis will return to Illinois next season, Misko Ražnatović told DraftExpress.

The trio joins David Mirkovic, who announced earlier today, giving Brad Underwood 4 of his top 8 scorers back from last season's Final Four team.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

Illini fans…where are we going?

The City of Champaign is enacting an emergency order restricting the sale of alcohol on the U of I’s campus ahead of tomorrow’s Elite Eight matchup against Iowa.

The mayor says it’s, “…to reduce the possibility of public safety hazards…”

Hear about it tonight at 5 on WCIA 3.

[Michael Schaefer @Mickey_Schaefer]

Cue the music. Illinois is going to the Sweet 16.

Hey Purdue, daddy’s home. #BoilerDown

I said the same thing when I graduated high school.

[Glenn Kinley @glenn_kinley]

"It was either the league or Illinois."

#Illini DB Xavier Scott tells me he knew if he came back to college it would be in Champaign.

"These guys took a chance on me my freshman year. The loyalty, the love I've got for the University of Illinois, I wanted to stay home."

Another non-hypothetical loss for the SEC. Go Illini.

The number of winning plays from Keaton Wagler tonight has been incredible.

If you’re curious about the weather here with 7 minutes left, it’s now misting. Probably doesn’t look like anything on TV but everything is a bit slick.
