Will Venable has been tossed after back-to-back questionable calls by the umps in Seattle

This final homestand could've been an opportunity for this young Blackhawks group to end the season with some good play & good vibes headed into the offseason.

It has been the opposite.
It has been an utter embarrassment for this group.

This better be a wake up call.

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

We were always a Final Four team.

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

Ain’t it fun

[Hunter Price @CoachHPrice]

Brad Underwood waited 26 years for a Div 1 head coaching job. Yes, he spent 26 years coaching high school, JUCO, and assisting.

At 49 years old he was hired to coach SF Austin. At 53 he was hired by Illinois. He finally reached the Final Four after turning 60.

The point: Sometimes if you truly want to be great you have to pay your dues. You have to stay the course and trust the process.

We want microwaved success so badly. There are 20-30 year olds mulling over quitting the profession because it isn’t happening fast enough. You gotta understand that a high level coaching career is earned, not given.

Congrats to Coach Underwood for sticking with the dream. He did what a lot can’t do: he waited. And he was rightfully rewarded.

Job ain’t done.

THE ILLINI ARE INDY BOUND 🔥

hell yeah.

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

Illinois' Keaton Wagler and David Mirkovic are the first pair of freshman teammates to each have a double-double in the same NCAA tournament game since freshmen became fully eligible in 1972-73 🔥

The only one. No comparisons.

[Joey Wagner @mrwagner25]

What a disappointing loss for the #illini in the BTT quarterfinals. The time between Sunday and Friday was supposed to be a reset. Instead, a blown 15-point lead and a Chicago one-and-done.

Wisconsin 91
Illinois 88
Final

[Dave Wischnowsky @wischlist]

Wisconsin outscored Illinois 25 to 9 on free throws.

This game was lost at the line — both by questionable/bad calls and by Illinois choking on its foul shots down the stretch.

[Dave Wischnowsky @wischlist]

Illinois got up by 23 points in the first half against UCLA and hasn't been the same ever since.

Beyond disappointing today.

Stojakovic whistled for a shooting foul here on John Blackwell
