    Jordan Nesbitt announcing on October 1 and right now Illinois looks to be his choice. Feels like a big season this year would finally turn this program fully around.

    They were showing Illinois OSU from 07 locally and Illinois scored and we lined up for the extra point and my 12 year old said what the hell are they doing (lining up then motioning for the extra point)? That coach is a moron. Kid is a great evaluator of talent

    Loved Ayo toying with Steward on that last possession.

    And then Trent with the "wtf are you doing" look as Steward tried to steal it with 2 seconds left down 15.

    Any Chicago guy that goes to Duke is not a Chicago guy. Change my mind.

    Gonna pat myself on the back, because his highlights from high school had me convinced that he was going to be our best PG since Frank

    He is already creating easy looks for guys that we haven't seen in forever. His feed to Giorgi forced Duke to defend those passes, which created a lane for him to make layups.

    Watching a freshman make mistakes and not get auto benched is so refreshing. Speaking of... Bruce lost to Fort Hays last night and I definitely watched a portion of his postgame presser just to see if it resembled his infamous postgame presser after the Purdue loss where he praised his assistant coaches and shit-talked all his players not named Tracy.

    It wasn't that bad, but still cringy because he has a social disorder.

    Regardless, I'm excited for the matchup.

    illinois struggles against rim protectors that can disrupt shots close to the basket and long athletic perimeter defenders. Loyola has neither. GT shot 57% from the field

    Really frustrating to watch Loyola run the same play over and over again and Illinois doesn’t change their defense at all. I’m not a big he got out coached guy, but Loyola did the same thing on both ends all game and Illinois had no answer. They didn’t even try anything different
