@antifawokesoros @MGRADS Strength is easy to add, having the feel for the game is not.

@MGRADS From what I just saw there’s definitely a strength issue. He had to wind up to make long passes. Not saying that’s what the scouts saw, but that would be a red flag in my book. Especially when you’re gonna be playing against guards like Acuff.

Keaton Wagler was 2x Mr Basketball of Kansas & a 2x State Champ, & was a 3 ⭐️ !???!?? Now he’s leading Illinois to the Final Four. All it takes is ONE coach to see what others don’t. How he wasn’t ranked top 10 is WILD, but the only rankings that matter are in June. #Top10

Turn me the fuck up. #Illini

@kenny_levine @c_wallace_m Dumbest thing I’ll read all day.

@Collinoscopy1 @c_wallace_m I wouldn’t be against it tbh

I've never believed in reseeding the tournament until now. Michigan-Arizona deserves to be the championship game.

@kenny_levine @c_wallace_m Should we reseed after the first round too?

@Collinoscopy1 @c_wallace_m Ok? And meanwhile you have a 2 seed playing a 3 seed. Should be Arizona-Illinois and Michigan-UConn

@NoKetchupchi @rforan23 I don’t think Painter would have him honestly

@rforan23 He’s going to Purdue unfortunately we had our crack

Run it back?

Didn’t realize that I had the same words as this young man

@YoDeFoe @JaredBerson @MOD4three Ah. My bad. Read it wrong for sure

@Collinoscopy1 @JaredBerson @MOD4three “…for a team trailing by 2.” It excludes game winners for teams trailing by 1 or tied.

UConn’s Braylon Mullins’ game-winner is the deepest game-winning three ever hit in the final seconds of an NCAA Tournament game for a team trailing by 2. UConn’s 19-point comeback is 2nd-largest ever to go to the Final Four, trailing only Louisville in 2005 (20).

@orthomgardner @cbefred @deebrown11 @AyoDos_11 @KendallG13 Who is your 4?

@cbefred @deebrown11 @AyoDos_11 @KendallG13 I can tell how old you are. I mean young

Congrats to Keaton Wagler — officially on my Illini Mount Rushmore alongside @deebrown11, @AyoDos_11, and @KendallG13 🏀🔥#Illini

@IlliniNation23 @cbefred @deebrown11 @AyoDos_11 @KendallG13 Who are your four?

@cbefred @deebrown11 @AyoDos_11 @KendallG13 TSJ not on here makes this not credible

@DavisDossett @cbefred @deebrown11 @AyoDos_11 @KendallG13 It’s not recency bias at all. Look at the season he has had. He will be there for the next 50 years

@cbefred @deebrown11 @AyoDos_11 @KendallG13 I know why you have Ayo on the list (making Illinois cool again), however Deron (and probably Deon, Frank and Nick) should be ahead of him Keaton is probably recency bias but I won’t argue it at all! We don’t always make the final four

@waffleguy323 @cbefred @deebrown11 @AyoDos_11 @KendallG13 Who do you put him over?

@cbefred @deebrown11 @AyoDos_11 @KendallG13 Is the choice to leave Deron Williams off because he came out early because that's the only reason I can think of?

@MaizeAndSoup @NCAABuzzerBters Their best player played for the Dominican national team ☠️

@LaTulip_Mike How many coaching offers do you have Mike? Has to be one coming

📽️FILM📽️ How Illinois pulled away to punch their ticket to the Final Four. High-level execution on both ends late.

@daviddring @ALionEye I’ve called them idiots on twitter and to their face, one of my buddies is on team fire the underwoods. That situation is 1:100000000, I wouldn’t trade what we have going in Champaign for any other situation in college

@Collinoscopy1 @ALionEye U heard the noise though. It seems a lot of Illini fans thinks it’s automatic to make the tourney and have forgotten the Groce years and ignore what’s happening just east in Bloomington with a program with a shit ton of resources, rabid fanbase and a ton of NIL 💰.

Last four times we’ve played Iowa on the final weekend of the Big Ten season: 2014 Ekey shot to win 66-63 Illini 2020 Kofi blocks Garza 78-76 Illini 2022 Big Ten title 74-72 Illini 2024 Illinois 73, Iowa 61 in Iowa City

@daviddring @ALionEye I have defended Brad through it all. You don’t fire the guys on a 6 (7) tournament birth streak

@Collinoscopy1 @ALionEye Hahahaha. Never have cared about the AP poll but ur standard bearer Rosenthall always complained about the dis respect it gave Illini. Congrats on final four. U guys have a likable team and a great coach (whom u all complained about and wanted fired in February of 2025 and 2026)

@MxPwr87 @SpartanHoops_DK @ILLBoardRoom I didn’t know there was any reasonable people on this app

@SpartanHoops_DK @ILLBoardRoom Let's be real, our fan base does the same thing. Hell, I've been guilty of doing so. Gotcha attempts are apart of the Twitter game in the sports world

Our superstar gets to play basketball for another week

@Stategirl91 @SpartanHoops_DK @ILLBoardRoom It’s not weird. Thousands of people do it.

@SpartanHoops_DK @ILLBoardRoom You know he’s had that bookmarked ever since we beat them in the regular season. So weird!

@daviddring @ALionEye How’s that AP pool treating you now?

@ALionEye Congrats on owning the second best mens hoops program in a tiny state. Just hope u approve of the Illini’s AP ranking tomorrow.

In the lab as we speak
