@Illini_Javamen The second one should have been a goal tend. Hit the backboard before the block.

Wemby is a problem. TSJ looked to have two wide open layups and both got rejected.

@JTTheBrick Couldn’t agree more. Those two missed free throws killed our momentum

@illiniram GO TO THE RIM. Too many bad 3’s. Pound the PAINT!

ILLINI with the LEAD! #Final4

@mrwagner25 Those missed free throws by Andres turned momentum!

#illini missing some golden opportunities to add to this lead. A missed bunny from Mirkovic and two missed free throws from Stojakovic.

@JTTheBrick @IlliniMBB A little pressure from the wife JT for that hot take! I love it! Go Illini!

I like @IlliniMBB to get past North Carolina and Houston.. That’s a hot take! 🔥🔥🔥

@JTTheBrick @ChadGraue I can’t wait to get out of this state!

@ChadGraue I love Chicago and Lincoln! Illinois politics are wacked!

Illinois might now be the worst state in America. As a city, Oakland lost 3 sports teams, but I can’t imagine Chicago also losing the Cubs, White Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks.

How was that not double dribble on Blackwell. I guess I no longer understand the rule.

@Sturdy32 Couldn’t agree more. I have always thought they should use a bigger screen.

Wild thought....don't use a mini screen to decide on replays in 2026

@LaTulip_Mike Couldn’t agree more. The line is defensive effort this game has been good.

Nebraska has gotten loose a few times but the defensive communication from the Illini is night and day compared to the matchup in Champaign

@Sturdy32 Plus tons of intimidation!!

64-55 with 7:55 to play and Minnesota has foul trouble and Crocker-Johnson has 4. Stojakovic will have 2 shots after the under 8 timeout. Z had another block, and forced Tyson to kick it out, now has 18 points 8 rebounds and 3 blocks.

@Sturdy32 Sturdy, you have been saying there going to be a game where Petro would spark us. This is great for his confidence. I really like this guy. He can get to the rim at will seems to have a connection with Big Z.

34 all at the half. Illinois close the half on an 8-2 run led by the energy from Petrovic and a better defense. And Medved going man to man the last 3 minutes.

@mrwagner25 That was a bad call on big z

That's a tough way to get a second foul for Zvonimir Ivisic.

@Sturdy32 This is the best the defense has looked all year. Great intensity today!

Stojakovic and 1 makes it 20-5 Impressive start for Illinois. Offense expected, defense has been fantastic.

@JTTheBrick USC got screwed by all of the blatant pass interference no calls! However they had the chance to win and had tcu in a situation that should have been a USC victory.

#USC loses the #AlamoBowl in OT on a missed broken tackle. Another disastrous loss for LINCOLN RILEY. #TCU

@Illini_Javamen Exactly!!

What an incredible play by McCollum. But Henry still can’t figure out 3rd and long.

@ALionEye We are at the game and having a blast! Bowl games are so much fun and Bielema is all in in winning this game and beating the SEC and I love it!

Again, some of you guys are gonna have go to fan rehab at some point. 8-4 Illinois leads 8-4 Tennessee at halftime of a bowl game and this is the energy you're bringing? The entire ethos of the program has changed and you're stuck in 2012. Come join us. It's fun now.

@Sturdy32 I thought it should have been flagrant.

That should be flagrant on Crews

Tommy is looking good pregame!!!!#illinibasketball

@ALionEye If it is on the bridge over the Ohio River there is construction so hopefully just that and not that big of a delay.

Things that probably aren’t good: You’re driving to Nashville for a 7:00 game and you come to a stop because of an accident ahead and your GPS switches from an estimated 4:46 pm arrival to 6:54 pm. If you’re headed to the game from Illinois, avoid I-24 if you can.

@mrwagner25 Our punter is so overrated!

Touchback is tough on that. Ends up only being a 22-yard difference in field position.
