@ElliotCasey3 I will never forget Z block on one end and then runs the floor to dunk it on the other end. He had so many special moments for the Illini. Really appreciate Big Z and all that he did for the Illini this year. Geat player!

Last night, I had the chance to speak 1-on-1 with #illini center Zvonimir Ivišić. He all but confirmed his return to Illinois for the 2026-27 season. "I'm not done." I asked him if the culture that this roster built would carry over. "It's gonna stay forever, for sure."

@rforan23 The double screen play is something Brad should introduce next year. I did like that play!

He’s not wrong

@takhtehchianmd Run it back Mirk! You are a fan favorite for sure!

Run it back Mirk Looks promising Will be preseason All B1G

@takhtehchianmd He's an all time great Illini. One of the best guards we have ever had. Really appreciate him coming to Illinios and giving us such good memories!

We love you Bam Mr Champaign = Final 4 Moral of the Story, go to a program that values you as a person. Basketball is just a game.

@BigBlueBud This certainly was a foul but not the reason Illini lost.

“First turnover for Illinois.” Yeah a man’s arm was torn off, that’ll do it.

@KShermanSports Gill :)

Without saying Dee Brown or Ayo Dosunmu, name one former #Illini in their prime who you’d love to see play for this year’s team. #FinalFour | #MarchMadness

@tracyhooksriley Go Will!!!!

Bball in LA ☀️

@takhtehchianmd Wow, I didn’t think anyone could pass Kofi. Congrats!

Illinois’ star F David Mirkovic Now has set the Illini Freshman Record for most rebounds in a season Dethroned the King

@LaTulip_Mike Great win!

Complete effort. Tremendous execution. Elite 8.

@benlikessport Ouchy

CBS spent 10 minutes talking about Alvaro “punching” Condon But Chinyelu comes down and T’s off into the back of Jirak and not a peep Should’ve been Flagrant 1 and free throws

@NaismithTrophy @3bradensmith @BoilerBall Well deserved! I'm not even a Purdue fan but I respect this player. He is as good as they get for a point guard in college.

College basketball’s new assist king! @3bradensmith of @BoilerBall has made NCAA Division I men’s basketball history, becoming the all-time assists leader after passing Bobby Hurley with his 1,077th career assist. Smith set the record on March 20, 2026, cementing his legacy as one of the game’s elite playmakers and the ultimate floor general. Make It Legendary ✍️ Presented by @sharpie

@BretBielema @IlliniMBB @CoachUnderwood Love seeing the celebration of success! Great Job Illini! Enjoy the moment!

Love it. Congrats to the @IlliniMBB and @CoachUnderwood and his staff…like the super soakers #famILLy #ILL🟧🟦👀🏀👀🟦🟧#INI

@PodcastIllini Apparently not.

Are we gonna call reach in fouls on VCU or no?

@takhtehchianmd Block on one end and then dunk on other end! Wow!

O M G Big Z 🔨

@jeff_on_sports Could you imagine 4 years of him as a center piece of the team?

Not sure how David Mirkovic’s game eventually translates to the NBA because he’s not a true big and is slow for an NBA wing, but this physicality and shooting stroke is how you end up one of the best players in college.

@takhtehchianmd Put Lee in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Illinois Playing Like Illinois

@takhtehchianmd Well deserved. The best Illini freshman I have seen since kofi based on freshman impact

Illinois Freshman Keaton Wagler Consensus All American Sporting News AP NABC USBWA His jersey will forever be at SFC

@JWerner247 i know someone on the bench that is "nasty" at rebounding. :)

#illini Brad Underwood lamented giving up an offensive rebound following a stop that allowed Wisconsin to tie the game and get to OT. "We got to have someone nasty enough and give a shit enough that want to go grab a rebound. It's very frustrating."

@TristanThomasTV Did he even touch him?

Andrej Stojakovic called for a foul here 📽️: BTN

@colehawk23 Pretty bad when announcers say let’s move on that was not a foul
