Sources: Illinois beat Kentucky in a secret scrimmage in Champaign this afternoon, 96-65. Sophomore Ty Rodgers scored 52 points to lead the Illini to the win. He shot 18-20 from the field and 7-8 from 3 with 5 assists as well.
I am told (via a text screenshot) that someone saw the picture of Kylan Boswell eating at the Mexican restaurant in Tucson. They figured out which one it was, called it and had the waitress go over and say “we need you in Champaign.”
Illini Nation insanity is amazing
Hello? Guy who repeatedly mocked Tominaga (before Karma claimed his season) and picked a fight with Coleman then ran away gets the sportsmanship award?
Illinois has the NUMBER ONE offense in the country against top 100 teams but is only 8-7 in those games. A chance at a historic season is being squandered due to a terrible defense that has everything it needs to be elite. Extremely frustrating to watch in real time
@IowaHoops
People are acting like Iowa sold these to us at a boys and girls club rate. There’s literally just a group rate. Didn’t matter if it’s the dying kids club or the Iowa city realtors club
Fucking gross, zero excuses, fuck the injuries, fuck the bad draw bullshit.
This team DESERVED to make it to the second weekend, there’s plenty of time but fuck man this is about as big of a slap in the face there can be

@IllinoisBlockI
any comment on why a 35 year old convicted child beater was allowed to sit in the student section yesterday? Please do better in the future
Can we confirm the identity of the man in the black hoodie? Forget ncaa rules, is Zach Edey breaking the law and illegally purchasing marijuana for a minor?

purchasing marijuana at Ascend River North this evening. Would hate it if he got drug tested and

Coleman Hawkins held a top 5 NBA pick to these stats resulting in Illinois winning a Big Ten Championship but
@gwizzy12
will tell you he “isn’t a champion” and “hasn’t won anything”
NEW: The Douglas Co. (KS) Deputy District Attorney, who filed the Complaint charging TSJ + argued to continue TSJ’s trial date, is no longer with the DA’s office.
GP in January: The TRO means nothing and this is entirely Brad Underwood’s decision. Playing TSJ shows the kind of program he runs
GP now: Brad took no stand by playing Terence, hiding behind the judge (following the law?) is cowardly

@IlliniMBB
0% chance they knew what the peace sign meant. Keep in mind your fans literally threw food at our bench last year when we played there, I don’t blame our players for disliking your crowd lol
Full on choreography session for Maryland student section (like super intensive) happening right now.
Maybe because they actually expect a bunch of students for today’s game?

The Illinois vs Purdue approach debates are hilarious because they’re the only two elite programs in the conference right now. Maybe compare either of those teams to the rest of the bums holding the league down

Legality ≠ morality. Bringing a gun to a shootout that killed a young mother should merit a suspension, I think 99% of people agree on this
Sl**p*rs Lie ❌: “Brad coached this game like it was the national championship”
The Truth ✅: Brad played all 12 scholarship players and his starters played fewer minutes than Self’s
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team in another player’s head as much as Purdue is in Coleman Hawkins’
Even after winning a tournament championship, almost everything the dude says or posts is either directly or indirectly related to Purdue. Unprecedented behavior 😂
Maryland fans taking to the street after winning their fourth straight Super Bowl against Illinois (this is the first game all season more than 2k fans have shown up for)
@SethDavisHoops
Damonte Williams is the definition of a glue guy. Only reason I don’t say Trent Frazier is because he’s gotten some national recognition recently
