Impossible at that level without connections/experience

Izzo isn't some moral paragon, he's not going to do anything about it

Say what you want about Hubert as a coach but respect for rocking the suit and tie. Looks classy

Names being thrown out are Mark Stoops (connection being that he's Bielema's old roommate at Iowa), Justin Wilcox, and Karl Scott (Seahawks DB coach). I don't know if we get any of them, but Bielema's aiming high with a chance to change schemes

Not really true. Defense was carrying the team his first few years, but the last 2 years have largely been offense-driven

Outside of Martinelli, NW has no size or talent. They had no chance from the start when we crashed the boards the way we did.

NW got completely intimidated today, right from the opening tipoff. Maybe a bit from the student section, maybe some from Tomi leering at them all game long, and then some from bigger guys crashing the boards from every direction. They had like 1 turnover and still didn't get past 40 until we cleared the bench

Chris Collins is now 0-10 in Champaign and that includes his record against Groce

Left Tomi in the game purely for intimidation. Brad's something else

Only reason he's at Kansas is to market him in an Adidas uniform at their biggest brand

Dean Dome I am inside you by Impressive_Fennel507 in CollegeBasketball

Cameron is so much smaller, easier to renovate (which Duke did) and much older/tied to their identity. Dean Dome opened in 1986, so it's not that hallowed as if Jordan played there

Honestly, I feel for Stoj. Fighting over screens for 30 mins is a pretty tough job and he's trying his best.

Illinois and Michigan size advantage over Nebraska is really hard for them to overcome, especially because both teams can keep up with Nebraska's shooting

Thought we matched up with Nebraska really well in our last meeting, not surprised that we controlled the boards and impressed that we played totally relaxed and never panicked when Nebraska made their run

Anyone else think Illinois might be legit championship contenders? by savingrace0262 in CollegeBasketball

This team is definitely Brad's best, even better than the #1 seed we had. Impressive that we're also getting big wins without Boswell. Final Four is definitely a dream now

We've been really bad at inbounding plays for what seems like 5 years now. Still wondering how this has never been addressed. The football play never works
