@iambarstoolgreg Mizzou sucks! See you in December loser!

[Bruce Weber @coachbruceweber]

Thankful and proud to be part of the @B1GNetwork broadcast with 2 of my former players, coaching in one of the craziest games I have ever seen ! Tough loss for @BoilerBall and future HoF @CoachPainter but so proud of @RogerPowellJr and his gritty @ValpoBasketball team!

4⭐️ Jack Thelen, a 7-foot-1 center in the 2027 class, is taking an official visit to Illinois this weekend, he told @Rivals.

The former Wisconsin commit is ranked No. 88 nationally, according to Rivals, and was at UConn for an official visit last week.

If you haven’t seen Bruce Weber interview his former player Roger Powell yet, it’s what makes sports great. Powell was a starter on Weber’s Illinois national runner-up team in 2005. Last night, they talked after Powell’s Valpo team stunned Purdue.
