ONE WEEK AWAY FROM ILLINI FOOTBALL 🔶🔷

[Chad Buehnerkemper @chadbeno]

@PeteThamel @JWerner247 Why would they not do the same for basketball?

[Stefan Caray @StefanCaray]

When a guy gets traded, how many of them will take the time to record goodbye video?

Lars is an example of a player that was a true joy to be around. His skillset, attitude, kindness and perseverance will be missed by all Cardinals fans.

That’s Lars Nootbaar for you. Class.

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

Jordan Walker is making $799,400 as a Cardinal this year.

He won $1,000,000 as the 2026 Home Run Derby champion on Monday night.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Jordan Walker homered on his final six swings to win the 2026 Home Run Derby, a tremendous come-from-behind win that saw him beat hometown favorite Kyle Schwarber in front of a raucous Citizens Bank Park crowd. The format worked. The drama was tremendous. A very good Derby.

Reminder that new @LAClippers guard @KeatonW34 dropped 46 POINTS at Purdue 😤

Sweeping our way to Super Regionals.

Just going to leave this here!

[Armchair Illinois @ArmchairIllini]

Terrence Shannon Jr and Ayo Dosunmu complete an I-L-L I-N-I🥹

[Kyle Tucker @KyleTuckerCBB]

On a $34 cowboy hat, squirt-gun fights, failed net cutting, honorary Balkans, arranged Croatian marriages and lots and lots and lots of cussing.

Meet Illinois, the most fun team in the Final Four:

#Illini vet Kylan Boswell on how important the “personality test” is for this roster:

“I don’t think this program will ever have anybody with egos, and people who are just straight a-holes in that such, and you won’t survive in this program if that’s your personality.”

[Fran Fraschilla @franfraschilla]

Only five freshmen in the history of the @bigten have averaged 17 points, 4 rebounds & 4 assists: Magic Johnson, Jalen Rose, Dylan Harper, D’Angelo Russell & @IlliniMBB Keaton Wagler.

[Ryan Evan Schroat @200ColumnsRy]

Another year with this awesome young man and his jersey will be joining rafters with Keaton.

@BBarn64 @bigten Winter Haven, Fl Chain Lakes Sports Complex ILL… Lets Go!

[𝕮𝖔𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖗 𝕻𝖎𝖑𝖘 @TheConnorPils]

There isn’t a guy who wants it more in all of college basketball. That’s 6’2” Kylan Boswell throwing it down with his BROKEN HAND. Some guys are just different.

[Illinois Men's Basketball @IlliniMBB]

The ones who keep it going!

Shoutout to all of our managers during Manager Appreciation Week!
