    Kentucky has no problem opening the bank for a high prized assistant. Kenny Payne, before he left for the Knicks, was getting paid more than a lot of head coaches.

    Sounds like Illinois is doing all they can to keep Chin and Antigua, feels like a turning point for the program. If we keep both, Illinois may have a top 10 team next year. If not, its going to be lower seed/bubble situation and we're back to square one.

    This season has been so weird, it has somehow been completely unenjoyable but also resulted in the first big 10 title since 2005. Thought there was no shot going into last night, I’m still dumbfounded

    Your football equipment room got a lot better this offseason. They hired the Arkansas guy to take over and he’s one of the best at his job

    Gonna be rough not having him

    I didn't like being overly reliant on a big, but our roster didn't have many guys that could create... basically just Trent and he was not himself to end the season

    There’s a legit chance illinois vs Michigan is a game of two top ranked teams. That would be insane. It sucks we blew it against Indiana in a game we absolutely should have won

    Hard to win a game where an obvious TD is taken from you though

    Think we're due for some shitty luck and a disappointing loss, but I'm cool with that not happening

    i agree we’re due for a bad luck game but that kinda felt like the Iowa game and we still won. The Nebraska game worries me the most of the next 3. I think if we’re playing Purdue essentially for the big ten west title, the stadium will be packed and we’ll win

    That’s such a good win. Can’t believe they pulled it off. This team seems built for the tournament more than either team of the last two seasons

    This team is probably too inconsistent from 3 to win the big 10 this year but they’ll be top 3 is my prediction. Big 10 is strong at the top this year

    Not even upset we lost. This team just didn't work the way it was constructed. Will be interesting what Brad does with the roster for next year

    the least likeable team I can remember. Just a totally low iq team. Hope they can bring Coleman Hawkins and Shannon back but the roster needs an overhaul. Gotta get a primary ball handler and someone that can fucking shoot

    It’s awesome to see Spoon, devito, and chase brown ball out this year but with them and Sydney brown and newton who will be a top 10 pick….how the fuck didn’t we win 10 games in 2022

    Brian Hightower obvious TD at Indiana was called incomplete

    That was one win

    Refs were atrocious in Michigan and Purdue games as well. Should have won 10
