This doesn't feel like Illinois basketball. It's like someone stole my car and is joyriding around in it.

Look who's baaaack! 👀 ...and just in time for the Illinois Football stretch run. #Illini | #HTTOtter🦦

Our shooting is... woof.

This is the most athletic middle school game I've ever seen.

Dain Dainja is like if Trent Frazier and Kofi Cockburn had a baby.

DAIN DAINJA DUNK + TEABAG!!!

These refs legitimately don't know what pass interference is.

As Illinois football fans we really only have ourselves to blame for getting our hopes up.

I'm convinced this team is an elaborate social experiment on shifting fan expectations. I would have snapped your hand off for 7 wins before the season. Now it seems like a total failure.

We're routing the Kitty Kats and our offense has been pretty horrendous today. 🧡 this defense.

Hell of a season, and a long orderdue resurgence for this program. Now let's go win a warm weather bowl game! I-L-L!!!

Fun half. I'm just gonna go gouge my eyes out right quick.

How's the Big Ten looking to ya Jimmy?

This is the first game where our switching defense has really been exploited. Dump down against mismatches + kick it to an open shooter when we double = free cheese.

I've forgotten how hard it is to beat B1G refs on the road.

Illinois freshman so far in their first B1G road game: 3 points 4 fouls

Maryland never fails to deliver the trashiest fans in CBB.

Tough one on the road with so many young guys. They looked rattled for much of the game. Gotta learn from it.

Wow. Congrats to Coach Walters. Sucks to lose him, but you know you're program is in a good place when you're losing coordinators to B1G head coaching jobs.
