In just 57 games, Ayo Dosunmu is writing his own #Illini basketball legacy. And it's happening at the perfect time. herald-review.com/sports/illini/…

Here in Central Illinois I don't feel coronavirus tapping at my door. But this week the virus took from me something I hold dear -- it killed college basketball. herald-review.com/news/local/tup…

To all the @marktupper followers, I'm hanging out here on the farm but wanted to send prayers and best wishes to all of you. I'm re-watching many #Illini games I recorded this season. Geez, what a fun team. Be well, my friends!

Hello dear friends. Hope you're doing well. I've missed a bunch during this shelter at home period, but we're getting by. Here are some thoughts: herald-review.com/lifestyles/tup…

Josh is on point with this! Let's finally move forward as one group of humans who want better for our children and fellow man. Let's give this next generation the ability to rise above these stigmas!

They asked me to recall the top five #Illini games I ever covered. So I did. And this was No. 5. herald-review.com/sports/college…

Counting down the top 5 #Illini games I was lucky enough to cover. No. 4 was the night we verified how good the 2004-05 team was. herald-review.com/sports/college…

Continuing with the countdown of the five most memorable #Illini games I covered. We shift to football for No. 3. The place: Ohio Stadium. The season: 2007. Go get 'em Juice! herald-review.com/sports/college…

Counting down the top 5 #Illini games I covered and No. 2 is another football game. This one still stands out as extra special. herald-review.com/sports/college…

OK, the No. 1 #Illini game I ever covered should not be a surprise. I still remember the shock on Lute Olson's face. herald-review.com/sports/illini/…

I miss baseball, the soundtrack of our summer. And I wish I had confidence we'll be hearing it again. Sadly, I do not. herald-review.com/sports/tupper-…

If you knew Lou Henson and covered his career, as I and many others did, you were touched by the man's kindness and thoughtfulness. I loved him and much of that was felt after his coaching career was over. All hail Lou Henson and thanks, coach, for showing us how it's done.

When remembering Lou Henson, you can't do it without talking about his wife, Mary. They were inseparable. In many ways, the perfect love story. herald-review.com/sports/illini/…

Ayo has always had an advantage: A family who cares and thinks and reasons and makes decisions that suit him and his future. And now they've made one that blows our mind. Don't you love it?

I could not be more proud of my friend and long-time colleague Mark Jones, the University of Illinois athletic photographer extraordinaire, who is retiring after a distinguished career. I regret not being at the State Farm Center when he was celebrated for his career.
