The best teams play in April

The NBA will return to painting the Larry O'Brien trophy at center court and Finals script logo on the home team's floor for the Finals starting this season, per sources. The last time the large trophy was painted on court was 2009.

[Illini Fan Nation @TheIlliniFN]

Happy March 1st, to those who celebrate 🧡

[Melissa @mellym83]

@CourtKramer39 I can see it!

[Craig Choate @craigwchoate]

This intro to Illinois/Michigan is one of the most bad ass sports television things I’ve ever seen. The aesthetic matches the game and #Illini uniforms perfectly. Having the broadcaster dress the part completes it!

[Melissa @mellym83]

@caitlin__cara @taylorswift13 @NicoleOste Love this for you guys!

[Melissa @mellym83]

This could have been multiple parts, but man…I’m so glad he’s our coach.

[Illinois Men's Basketball @IlliniMBB]

The start of something new.

Head Men's Basketball Coach Brad Underwood's teams are always willing to work, but countless steps go into preparing a fresh-faced team. Underwood shares his thoughts about the young season and what it will take to replicate last year's successes in this episode of Every Day Starts Here.

You sign a $70 million safety during free agency and you're stoked if he gets 5 picks in a season lmao

Xavier McKinney, take a bow

[OG Jerè @TripleEntendre]

I have “concepts on a plan” is hilarious.

[Melissa @mellym83]

I might have been at the Oklahoma game today, but huge win for the Illini against Kansas! ILL!

Pete Buttigieg on why he goes on Fox News is worth a few minutes of your time

[Melissa @mellym83]

Wow, so sad to hear. Pat was an amazing man and joy in the office at the Magic.

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

Pat Williams — who brought the Magic to Orlando as an expansion franchise — died at 84 years old today. He spent 56 years as an NBA executive and worked as a GM for the Magic, Sixers and Bulls. He played minor league baseball, authored over 100 books and ran 58 marathons.

INSANE: Only 16 quarterbacks have ever thrown for 32+ touchdowns, 4100+ yards, and 11 or fewer interceptions in a season.

#PACKERS QB JORDAN LOVE IS THE ONLY QB EVER TO DO IT BEFORE HIS 3RD YEAR AS A STARTER, & IT WAS ONLY HIS FIRST SEASON STARTING.

😱😱😱

(h/t @BookOfEli_NFL)

[NFL on ESPN @ESPNNFL]

No quarterback threw more touchdowns or had a higher QBR in the second half of the season than Jordan Love 👀

If Love continues this upward trend, he could find himself on the top-10 QB list next year ✍️

[Melissa @mellym83]

Read whole thread. This is insane and never should have happened.

[Karalyn Holden @KaralynWest]

Thread.. (1) I brought our 8yr old to the Copa America final last night & we got caught in the scary masses outside the stadium. When we got to SE Entry gate, there were 1000s of people waiting to get in, gates closed (this was 7pm) As we stood in the 90deg heat, bodies pressed
