Since ‘03, Michigan State has made 3 Final Fours as a 5 seed or worse. Not to mention 3 or 4 other S16/E8 runs as a 5 seed or worse. This season isn’t over for Illinois, as bad as we feel it’s been. Get 2 or 3 more Q1 wins, start clicking, and take your chances. It’s been done

I’m NOT on the “fire Underwood” train yet, but why are people acting like if he was fired we wouldn’t be able to go out and get an extremely top tier coach? “Why fire him? So we can go back to the basement?” We’re not going back in the basement, we’d be able to get an A/A+ hire

ESPN likes Illinois’ chances

For next year… I’d be down to surround the team around Boswell as the primary ball handler and not a volatile 18 year old who’s never played college basketball before. That’s just me tho

Well that’s 4 out of 5 pre-Sweet Sixteen flameouts for Brad Underwood… how many more until it’s okay to expect more?

Does missing the NCAA Tournament from like 2013-2019 really mean we have to lower our expectations for what this basketball program should be? Genuinely asking. What we’ve got for the last 5 years should be the standard. The March stuff should be a disappointment.

Had an Illinois offer out of HS… not sure what role he’s looking for but I think his identity would fit well with Boswell in the backcourt next year

Tre White is a solid player. But Illinois might roll out Boswell, Dix, Riley, Hum, Ivisic with solid vet transfers off the bench. If you’re Tre, why come back and be the 6th option for less money than he’d get elsewhere? Main point… no one knows how it’s going to end up. Relax

His HS coach involved in his recruitment and breaking news to get clout… on top of his dad giving full quotes about how mistreated he was… tells you all you need to know about his circle. Great player but good riddance

We’ll take the Michigan kid with some grit, determination and loyalty. Y’all can have the toxic Chicago kid out for $$. Thank you Ty!!!

Guards - Boswell, Petrovic Wing/Forwards - Stojakovic, Rodgers, Humrichous, Davis Bigs- Ivisic, Ivisic, Mirkovic Stojakovic makes this team a top-25, tournament lock. Still think they’re a player away from being a legit Final Four contender though

Trae Taylor had one of the most “Look at me!” recruitments of all time from the jump. He was corny throughout the whole process and unless Illinois did something bad to him behind the scenes, today was totally uncalled for. He fits right in with what Nebraska has been for years

Illinois Football #famILLy 🔵🟠

Still my 🐐

Colin Cowherd says Illinois would “house” Bill Belichick’s Tarheels. Fun hearing our name on national shows!
