Illini took down #14 Wisconsin today 79-69. Hawkins was a 3 beast.

Skyy Clark has left the program.

I don't know what I will most - his lack of scoring, lack of defense, lack of playmaking, or his general attitude of entitlement.
I wonder if that’s what has been affecting the team.

MSU didn’t hit one 3. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that

At the 18 game mark for the last 4 years, Illinois has been 13-5 each time.

Most bracketologies have the Illini straddling the 5/6 seed line.

I realize the Illini have somewhat of a short bench but somebody has to explain to me how Coleman Hawkins gets so much playing time.

He doesn’t defend anybody at all, he really doesn’t score much, he does a pump fake from the arc and then passes to someone not usually on a cut.

It’s not like he’s facilitating the offense.

What does he do to deserve to play seemingly 50 minutes per game?

Illini won and shit.
Rawr!

It's a top 10 team by talent currently unranked.

This team has great balance and I expect a good dance or maybe a waltz if they can create an upset to crack 16 given what their seed will be.


Still time to get to the big 10 tourney championship and jump into top 4 seed, imo.
