@ABC Iran is wise, unfortunately. And so they realize this administration has the attention span of a 3 year old and will quickly move on to something else.

Iran fired the "lowest number of enemy missiles and drones" in the last 24 hours, Secretary Pete Hegseth said at a Pentagon press briefing Tuesday. "If Iran is wise, they will cut a deal," Hegseth said. Follow live updates: abcnews.com/International/…

@matthewwinick I mean Davis just stands in a corner waiting for the ball to come to him. Not many turnover chances. Same with Ben lol

By the way, if you drop the mins from 800+ to 700+, the only players to have 6 or fewer TOs in the 21st Century: Ben Humrichous, 2025-26 Illinois Jake Davis, 2025-26 Illinois Josh Kozinski, 20215-16 C. Michigan Davis + Humrichous alone would be 6th in fewest TOs this season.
Matthew Winick@matthewwinick

Ben Humrichous is having one of the truly wild statistical seasons in modern college basketball. He has six!!! turnovers in 808 minutes this year. That is the fewest number for any player with that many minutes in the 21st century.

@SethDavisHoops I think you're completely missing the point, or are willfully ignoring it. Saying that the rules are different because a coach is buddies with the official is the very definition of being partial. That's bad for the game. Period.

Congratulations to Illinois. Very talented team and finally break through to Final Four. Iowa had an incredible run and played really well this tournament. This game had everything including horn delay. As I said coming in, Regional Final Round, imo, is hardest to officiate 👍🏻

@BobZuppke To quote Harold Ramis in Stripes, "I want you guys to know that if we ever get into really heavy combat... I'll be right behind you guys. Every step of the way." Seems appropriate given the jersey selection.

@FanboyCarp "Brad can get this team over the hump." How about this TEAM gets itself over the hump? Brad doesn't miss free-throw's. Brad doesn't blow defensive assignments. Brad doesn't commit unnecessary fouls. Win or lose, the performance of the players determines the outcome.

I'm still not convinced Brad can get this team over the hump. But, he's putting them in positions to do so, and Thursday is a great opportunity to do just that. Celebrating success and criticizing faults aren't mutually exclusive. That's fandom. #Illini
The Oskee Pow-Wow@TheOskeePowWow

You bailed on this team after regular season losses. Claimed Brad can't get you over the hump. Been a constant BU hater any chance you see the opportunity. Even so much as saying you don't think he is capable of consistent success. Two sweet 16s in 3 seasons is consistency.

Every year there are games that just get out of control in the tournament. I watched the first 4 minutes of this game and said they need to get this immediately under control and they haven’t.

@MSLCardImmunoGI @takhtehchianmd Well, we have the most wins of any Big Ten team over the last seven years. We have an elite 8 appearance. We have seven consecutive NCAA appearances. We have one regular season B1G championship, & two conference tournament wins. So, a record that 98% of div1 teams would kill for.

In airports across the country, TSA officers are again being forced by the Democrats to work without pay—for the THIRD time in nearly six months. Many TSA officers cannot pay their rent, buy food, or afford to put gas in their cars.
 Exploiting @TSA officers for political gain is unacceptable. REOPEN DHS NOW.

The Illini leave the Midwest, but get the best possible 6/11 matchup. UNC is without their best player, and VCU was not a tourney team without winning their conference tournament. What does everyone think?

@GlockfordFiles You don't know hoops bro. Defender barely touched shooter arm. Barely touching arm causes more distribution to shooters touch than tapping. That was 💯 foul. Try it out in rec game. Barely touch opponent shooting elbow.

This was called a foul in overtime of the Illinois vs Wisconsin game. Calls this bad make you wonder if the refs have money on the game.

When asked what impressed him from today's B1G tournament, @RaphealDavis3 said, "Wisconsin. They're a team I could see winning this tournament and making a Final Four." The same Wisconsin that blew an 18-point lead and eaked out a win over 16-16 Washington? Seriously?

@RapidResponse47 @PressSec @DHSgov And for those of you who aren't crazy about US citizens being murdered by heavily armed ICE agents, maybe just suck it up and accept that the lines are going to be a bit longer for a while until GOP legislators grow a pair.

When asked for a timeline for the end of the military operation in Iran, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said this would be left up to President Trump and would only happen when there is an "unconditional surrender" of the Iranian regime. abcnews.link/g00IQY9
