IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS FOLKS. After the semifinals, weโre down to our championship match. Amid rumors that sheโs run off with

Terrence Shannon Jr. Is greatest athlete Iโve ever seen. Talk about mental toughness. Unreal to play the way he did given circumstances. Greatest Illini basketball player all time hands down.
Biggest strength of Illini basketball program is player development. 5 stars now see what Brad and staff did with ayo and TSJ want in. Illinois is best player development program in the country and itโs not even close. Will win multiple nattyโs by 2030.
Ty Rodgers has a chance to have an all American caliber season with the Illini next year. If this jumper weโre seeing carries over to the season heโll average 15-20 ppg easy.
Wake up Illini. Itโs fucking GAMEDAY. The last dance at SFC for the legendary trio of Coleman Hawkins, Marcus Domask, and Terrence Shannon Jr.
BEAT PURDUE.

BREAKING: Orlando Antigua will be back as Assistant Coach at Illinois. Expected to bring multiple players with him. Antigua was on Brad Underwoodโs bench from 2017-2021 so he comes in with a lot of familiarity with the program.
You know what? It doesnโt matter what any other fanbase has to say about raising TSJโs jersey. Fact is Illini nation wants it and know he deserves it. Heโs a first team all American in our book and thatโs all that matters. Totally earned based on his career at Illinois.
@IlliniBurner
And this coming from the guy who has the nerve to get in our players face after catching a live ball while standing ON THE COURT. What a bum.

@detroitnews
Such a shame that Detroit News is allowing third rate tabloid stories to be published in their newspaper. Not only does it diminish the quality of their content (20+ year old story), itโs also very bad for their business and their community to run hit pieces on

@KedPrince4
Just disgusting the number of people who immediately slandered him and said horrible and nasty things online. The apology better be as loud as the hate. Canโt wait to watch TSJ wherever he ends up in the league.
@AudreyPachuta
Disgusting stuff is more like it. Northwestern should shut down your paper or at least remove all you aspiring โjournalistsโ for defaming an innocent man.
@IsaacRomig1
Isaac I love u. There arenโt 2 better teams in the country other than Illinois and Purdue. We earned this. This is the natty America deserves.
@IlliniBurner
What an absolute bum of a head coach. Respect for Brad has gone way up after seeing this, heโs always classy and takes accountability and never whines.
Thank you
@Sn1per_T
for this year. This is one of the greatest seasons of college basketball I've seen in my life. Can't wait to watch you in the NBA (hopefully with my Bulls๐) It's been real. Orange and blue forever.
Seeing a lot of scared big 10 fans on my feed. All saying our recruits arenโt that good or wonโt gel. Thatโs when you know youโre going to have a special year.
#wellconnected
Not celebrating because I know who my guy isโฆ imagine playing in front of sell out crowds with people saying the craziest things to you and youโre innocent. Extremely proud of my guy to be able to block out all that noise and compete at an extremely high level. ๐ฏ๐๐ฝ๐ค
@casualbigten
Jon doesnโt know ball. media always overlooks us Illini. Will just have to prove them wrong again. Have been for past 5 years ๐คทโโ๏ธ
CONGRATULATIONS TO PATTI CROW SCOTT
@pvscott59
FOR WINNING MOST WELL CONNECTED BROTHA 2024 edition. Valiant effort by americas uncle
@BTolan72
but couldnโt overcome Pattiโs โIllini passion and perfect tanโ (The MacDaddy, 2022). Go Illini see u all at homecoming!
People need to stop bitching about seeding, have some faith TSJ and the boys boutta win us a natty. Hottest team in the country I like our chances against anyone.

@BarstoolILL
Ya Iโm done hating on other B1G teams for rest of season unless we play each other. Thatโs for regular season/B1G tourney. Need to save it for Iowa State now.
@macdaddy0324
Program is finally where weโve dreamed it to be for the last 20 years. The big fish want to play for us and we have the best recruiting assistant in the nation.
Terrence Shannon Jr. (innocent) is the best player to ever wear the orange and blue. Beyond thankful to have him as an Illini. Canโt wait to watch him become the next LeBron. Seriously believe he can and will.
@BarstoolPU
Congrats on winning at home in a game you were expected to win and favored by 10.5. Hope it means something to you! Weโll be sure to return the favor in Champaign this March, SFC will be rockinโ.
@HurleyMania
Itโs worth it. To us itโs more about basketball- we believe in Terrence as a person. That answer will change if there is a court verdict to the contrary. But we believe in him and will continue to do so until proof to the contrary.
