November 18, 2018: Illini football 4-7 after a 63-0 loss to Iowa, Illini basketball KenPom #103 en route to a 14-18 season. November 18, 2025: Illini football #21 in the CFP rankings, Illini basketball #8 in the AP Poll & KenPom #5.

I just sit back and think about how great it is to be an Illini fan today.

Someone explain to me why Illinois fouled while down three with the shot clock on? Would you not want to bet on your guys to get a defensive stop with a chance to tie rather than let Alabama push the lead to two possessions?

I love that when Boswell comes out, we have a perfect backup in Petrovic. Great problem to have at the one-guard spot

Big day for the Illini and Bears tomorrow. Does life get any better than this?
