@UConnWBB This is what Geno always does, don't apologize if you don't mean it. How can one University keep two assholes as their coaches. Just shows the moral character off UConn as a university.
"The Illini should just smile and be happy they're involved in a big event."
@stoolpresidente is NOT taking Illinois to win it all
@DraftKings#DKPartner
@RogerPowellJr The bad arse 2005 team. yall were bad boys for sure. I'll never forgot that game against Louisville, I think they were up by at least 15 points with a few minutes left and you guys came back and won. I nearly pissed in my pants.

Dusty May on modern day recruiting
“We used to recruit guys for three years and spend 200 man hours away from our families begging these 15 to 18 year olds to come and then they’d decide to go in another direction. Think about all the time and resources you wasted. Recruiting has definitely been streamlined and it is much more efficient than it’s ever been.”
@BigGlennNetwork@BBallSchoILL Nebraska's best season ever, and they couldn't defend the home court against this Illinois team. Little Red also got punked by Iowa, twice.
Illinois’ best season in 20+ years and they:
- Lost to Nebraska at home
- Were a worse seed than the Huskers in the Big Ten Tournament
To say that I am #Noticing is an understatement.
@michigan_beat PF "d prioritized" are you fucking kidding me. He renegotiated his NIL deal twice, he came back wanting to a 3rd time and was told No. Amazing everyone talking about Illinois spending on NIL, but Michigan out there outbidding everyone.
PG forced out of UNC
SG 4 coaches in 6 years
SF 0 star recruit JUCO
PF deprioritized by Illinois
C in the doghouse at UCLA
Dusty May put them together and went of the Final Four
@AZBandCatSports@ArizonaMBB@Brownbear1999 He's complimenting how good they are, all the while thinking about how he's going to pay them all to go to Michigan next year. He'll hand them a contract offer right after the game Saturday, if he hasn't already
Asked Michigan's Dusty May about @ArizonaMBB's trio of freshmen:
"If you've played in the Euro League, you are not a freshman. So let's knock Kharchenkov off of that list."
Also credited Koa Peat & Brayden Burries' Team USA experience and said they "don't look like freshmen."
@McKLEM@GmaBoomBoom@JeanneIves@KruzerKat1 Which is still more expensive than out of state tuition. My son went to Iowa for way cheaper than he could have gone to Illinois. Just ridiculous
The University of Illinois President testified on Tuesday in the IL Senate that 41% of his students pay no tuition or fees.
Who are the students that pay nothing? No one asked in committee. At what rate do they graduate and what do they study? What's their citizenship status? I'm certain 42,000 students (student population 101,000) are not in the ROTC program or are merit scholars with near perfect ACT or SAT scores. So many unanswered questions. Needless to say the university president requested more money for this year's budget. How about start with every student having skin in the game?
@theScore move Deron Williams to the 2 guard, and make Kendall Gill your point guard. Love Ayo, but definitely not in the top 2 guards. This Illinois 5 wins by 10, over that UConn 5
I’m so happy for all the young Illini fans getting to experience a Final Four for the first time.
And I’m so happy for all the older Illini fans getting to experience a Final Four again after such a long wait.
Sports weeks don’t get much better than this coming one. Enjoy it!
