Who would you start in his spot. That starting lineup would be going small if you take Giorgi out. Are any of the guards good at rebounding? Feliz is good but he's leaving.

Dont know but unless he progresses, the Illini are worse off the more he is on the court. He's simply not starting material especially when he is offering nothing on the offensive end. His confidence is gone.

Sophomore slump. He'll be better next year.
Pipe dream is for Kofi to stick around for a 3rd year. Then you've got him, Curbelo and Miller as sophomores, Giorgi as a Senior, and sprinkle in some other promising recruits off the bench. You may be looking at something special there.

I have a call today with the NCAA regarding the Final 4 contigency plans. We are hosting a giant Final 4 event on Friday the 3rd and our client has reached out to discuss what there options are for cancelling the event as the Final 4 might be cancelled or closed to all fans. Also, Mark Emmert has a smaller event in the venue that evening and that might be cancelled as well.

I don't really understand why events are being cancelled but Disneyland and Disney World are allowed to carry on as if nothing is wrong. Not really following the logic there other than Disney has shareholders that they don't want to piss off.

Greetings,
The decision was made today to conduct our upcoming championship events, including the Division I men’s basketball tournaments, with only essential staff and limited family attendance. This decision was based on the current understanding of how COVID-19 is progressing in the United States. This decision is in the best interest of public health, including that of coaches, administrators, fans and, most importantly, our student-athletes.
We are working to address all facets that this is affecting and appreciate your patience. I will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
Got this late last night.

wow....I assume the NCAA Tournament is next. I feel bad for these seniors on the Illini who finally had a chance to participate in the tournament and now, will most likely graduate without playing in an NCAA tournament. I wonder if Ayo is now more likely to come back

Patriot League and Ivy League canceled their Spring sports. It's only a matter of time before everyone else follows suit, IMHO.

Duke and Kansas took themselves out of the NCAA tournament, so even though the NCAA hasn't made an announcement, this pretty much means there won't be a tournament. NCAA can't have a tournament without their blue blood darlings

So basically I can say Underwood failed to get the Illini to the tournament once again! @Parade_Rain @TL1961
Just kidding, I'm not that big of a ****. **** nonetheless.
Fucking hell this sucks

Fire Underwood!
It does suck. I really feel for all the kids who put their heart and soul into the season and a once in a lifetime (hopefully) pandemic happens.

Yoooo, doesn't this shit suck? It's the first time in years that Iowa has a team that could actually compete in the B1G tourney and NCAA tourney. I'm sure y'all feel the same way with Illinois. I had them as my darkhorse to win the B1G tourney.

Florida Senate proclaims Seminoles champions
The Florida Senate passed a resolution proclaiming the No. 4 Seminoles, who went 26-5 and won the first ACC regular-season title in school history, "champions by default."
