@ENCLennox @B1GMBBall @bigten @umichbball The SEC had the most teams with 10. The Big 10 had 9, the ACC had 8, and the Big 12 also had 8.

@roberto_camp @BudWiser6969 Definitely not his best game, but that’s different than a dud. In what world would a game like that hurt his draft position?
English
@DRockMiller @BudWiser6969 I'm sure you watched the game. Yes he had a game high 20 pnts but he was 2-10 from 3pt range, had several airballs and some costly turnovers down the stretch. It was definitely not his best game.
English
First inside scoop from Bud of the Offseason:
•It’s a battle between Duke and Illinois for Blackwell
•Wagler going to the draft is not 100% set in stone. There is a world where we see him as an Illini next year #budbomb
English
@roberto_camp @BudWiser6969 Wagler was the highest scorer in the game. How was it a dud?
English
@BudWiser6969 Wagler's Final Four game was a bit of a dud. I think the NBA stuff lost a little momentum there.
English
@ILLBoardRoom I actually preferred the clip they chose for Keaton instead. One of the rare times he showed emotion on the court. He was stone cold, but clearly cared about the team winning.
English
No Keaton step back was criminal
4 for 8 though
The BoardRoom-ic@ILLBoardRoom
One shining moments for the Illini predictions: Big Z dunk Keaton step back Mirk hat Please have the Ben 3 Andre dunk Elite 8 celebration Random two highlights in final four game David and Keaton walking off the floor

@christopfur11 @BrewPack8 College sports have always been a minor league for the pros. The difference now is the athletes have more agency.
English
@BrewPack8 I don't think it is a coincidence that I stopped caring about college sports about the time NIL rolled around. It is just the minor leagues now for professional sports.
English
Am I thankful for Blackwell’s time here? Absolutely.
Am I upset a college player is going to take a 5-10M deal? No (unless it’s Illinois)
I just miss when money couldn’t buy loyalty and when you committed in high school, it meant you’d be here 4 years. Goes much deeper than just Blackwell.

@TheCCShowcast @PewPewMaddie Freedom of movement? So if you opened a private business (the Obama library is technically a private enterprise), I could walk in anytime I wanted and claim freedom of movement?
English
@PewPewMaddie So, freedom of movement and taking advantage of free speech by going to a library isnt protected?
I need an ID to purchase a firearm which is constitutionally protected. 🤣
Delete your account. Let me know if you need me to write it in crayon.
English
The Obama Presidential Library is making people show and ID for proof of Illinois residency to get in for free.
So, Illinois residents have to show an ID and prove who they are to get into a library for free but they don't have to prove who they are to vote in their elections.

@Beyond_Salvage @TheDegenWeekly @Hstlinghosptlis He’s throwing his head back because he basically got assaulted on that play. If you watched enough of Wagler this year, you’d know his MO is to play through contact and never flop.
English
@TheDegenWeekly @Hstlinghosptlis Why is he throwing his head back?
This kid isn’t a special angel
English
I am determined to fix the sport of basketball.
Step #1 - Ban whatever the fuck this guy is doing with his head
We see it all the time. The player with the ball throws his head back anytime there’s contact, hoping for a foul. It’s WWE bullshit. Get it out of the game. OUT!
English
@MLawrence6672 @TheIlliniFN Wagler shot 37% from three in the tournament so there wasn’t much of a drop off. He and Tomi were the most consistent players on the team in March. I feel like we were watching a different player.
English
@DRockMiller @TheIlliniFN I didn't see that in March Madness I saw more inconsistency than anything
English
Next seasons hopeful (🤞) depth-chart:
Mega-stud portal guard
Davis
Stojakoivc
Mirkovic
Tomi
Rodgers
Z
Coleman
Morillo
Transfer defensive wing
Do they still fit — Lee, Petrovic?
Development — Landon Davis, Brown
English
@MLawrence6672 @TheIlliniFN He shoots 40% from three and has a killer step-back. What do you think he needs to work on with his three-point shooting?
English
@DRockMiller @TheIlliniFN Riley game was more NBA ready and suited for the NBA than Wagler. Now get me wrong he had a great season but one more year to get stronger and work on his 3 point shooting will only help him
English
@MLawrence6672 @TheIlliniFN While I’d selfishly love for Wagler to come back, he’d be insane to give up the guaranteed money a potential top five pick would provide. People said the same thing about Riley last year and he’s thriving in the NBA.
English
@TheIlliniFN It's amazing how everyone thinks Wagler is going to the NBA no faith. Me personally I think he needs one more year.
English
@playmaker783 @TheIlliniFN If he develops a 3 pointer in the offseason he will be an NBA draft pick. He had off games this year, but he was one of the most consistent players for the Illini in the tournament.
English
@TheConnorPils The ‘05 team was much more talented, but this year’s team was more fun. I have a feeling the next Final Four won’t be nearly as long of a wait. I love how Underwood has built the program for success.
English
I’m not old enough to really remember ‘05. This team was responsible for my happiest memories as an Illini Basketball fan. I will always be grateful for that.
ILL forever. We will be back.
English
@srprecords @TheConnorPils Karaban has been bad all tournament. Illinois hasn’t shot this poorly all season. UConn was the better team last night, but not by much.
English
@TheConnorPils Do you think UConn didn’t miss plenty of shots as well??
Karaban was 1-8. We failed to convert back to back fast breaks off of steals down the stretch to name a few. You got beat by a team twice that was better than you
English
“Underwood just got out-coached tonight”
Have you considered Illinois just…missed shots they normally make? Hurley is a great coach but let’s not act like if even half of these go down UConn doesn’t go home.
Sometimes the shots just don’t fall.
English
@illiniduce Their student section wasn’t even full. Not sure if I can root for Michigan, but I’ll root for an asteroid if it’s Michigan/UConn.
English
@RightyDriesell @ByPatForde Not sure where you’re sitting, but the boos were really loud during the UConn intros.
English
@ByPatForde I must be at a different event. I haven't heard an extreme amount of booing for UConn. Granted, it is an obvious pro Illinois crowd. They traveled extremely well.
English
@roblot31playa Item 1 is for sure top of the list, but I'd add Peja wearing orange.
English
@SleestakL @k22418588 @Libs_OfChicago Layoffs were proposed, but didn't happen. The board voted against layoffs.
English
@k22418588 @Libs_OfChicago They just laid off teachers due to lack of enrollment
English
A large portion of Napervilles population are ppl who left Chicago for a better life.
The issue is many of them brought their nonsense with them which will ultimately drag Naperville into a hole.

Naperville, “#1 place to raise a family.” @NapervillePD growing up around here you used to have a squadron of cops at the corner of Chicago and Washington, now I raise my family around here and this stuff is common occurrence…and NEVER A COP TO BE FOUND!! Figure it out!
English
@NeuColton That’s kind of middle-of-the-pack for the Midwest. The SEC and schools in warmer states are always going to dominate baseball recruiting.
English
Only 10? I guess a lot of the Illinois kids are getting out of Illinois when they can…

I remember we left a Christmas party for work. My friend had a half glass of wine and didn't stop for a full 3 seconds at the stop sign on 55th and Chicago. They couldn't get her for a DUI because she passed everything but instead gave her a DWI. What is going on in Naperville how did it go from gestapo to this trash.

Naperville has been overtaken by the woke far left. It’s a troubling place to go at night now. And it’s going to get worse especially with the people elected to represent the town.
I live close and haven’t been downtown in years. Too many other great towns in the area so why putbup with thatvshit.
