An important message from our Athletic Director, Josh Whitman.
English
And some of those were what is considered tampering. Morez had worked a deal, then reworked a deal with Illinois but Dusty kept going at him to get him to transfer by upping the amount.
There are few coaches in the B1G that are fans of him because of the tampering issue.

@TheHoopHerald Ok let’s not act like these guys were diamonds in the rough. Everyone who watches basketball knew Michigan got some MF dudes when each of these guys committed. There’s a reason they were a preseason favorite to be in this game.
English
@TheHoopHerald Dishonest tweet. Morez was a frosh on a team with great players and also had to sit out several games due to a wrist injury.
Lendenborg was the hottest commodity on the market when he decided not to enter the NBA draft.
Mara was a 7'4" phenom who got better in the offseason

Not saying that Michigan isn’t loaded, and not saying they didn’t spend a fortune on their roster, but it’s amazing that they are THIS dominant with
• A transfer from UAB
• A transfer who UNC fans DID NOT want back who “couldn’t shoot”
• A Non Starter at UCLA
• A Non Starter at Illinois
• 2 Players that played on Michigan’s 8-24 Team
• A guard who shot sub 30% from 3 the last two seasons in the Big 10
• A Freshman
This has been a masterful job by Dusty May and company putting this group together bringing it to life

@glenn_kinley The step back three where Keaton put the Iowa player on skis should have been in there. Nonetheless, it was another shining moment for that montage.

#Illini in One Shining Moment:
-Big Z slam
-Wagler fired up on the floor
-Brad locker room water gun celly
-Z goofy dance after Elite 8 win
-Mirk are around Wagler after loss

@IlliniDan2 Not that it simply looks like a foul -- it WAS a foul ... and not called as usual.
English
@217Showers Who touched the net while it was on the rim. That is basket interference and was not called.
English
@Jwolfy24 @craigwchoate @BadSportsRefs because they are NCAA officials. They have been getting steadily worse the last few years

@iamibtaihaj08 @GoodmanHoops Tyler Underwood would be WORLDS better than Ford and would coach circles around him. But, thank you for letting us keep Tyler!

@GoodmanHoops Smart move by Akron. Dustin Ford has earned this promotion 🔥
English
The no-brainer move for Akron is to elevate associate head coach Dustin Ford.
Ford, 47, has been with John Groce since he took over the program in 2017.
The Zips have gone to the NCAA Tournament in four of the past five seasons.
Ford, who played at Ohio, was also with Groce at Ohio and Illinois.
Jeff Goodman@GoodmanHoops
Charleston has hired Akron head coach John Groce, source told @thefieldof68. Groce, 54, has taken the Zips to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and gone dancing four of the last five seasons. Groce will replace Chris Mack, who left Charleston after two seasons to take the South Florida job. Groce is 377-225 in his career. He was also the head coach at Ohio (2008-12) and Illinois (2012-17).

@No3sports @PeteNokos_ There is NO way they do that. This has to be fake. BUT, he is a clearly a d!ck who needs put in his place!

UCONN HC Dan Hurley fined $100k for head butting an official during yesterday’s win against Duke.
NCAA committee is discussing the possibility of suspending Hurley for Saturdays Final four matchup against Illinois. Per @PeteNokos_

@KimKatieUSA @honolulupolice WTF is wrong with people?!? And let's be real, if we had a King, they would be executed for this.
English
🚨 BREAKING: Video from the No Kings protest in Honolulu shows tourists viciously beating a man in an ICE uniform unconscious, then continuing to punch and kick him long after he was down.
@HonoluluPolice, it’s all on video. Do your job.

@BarstoolILL Trying to draw a foul is not unethical in itself. However, the refs should not reward this. It was an offensive foul for initiating the contact at worst or a play on at best.
English
@Seaalex_ @SeeDeeMcLeod @Cjpearson And AOC, Bernie Sanders, and a HOST of other congressional types could make the same "joke" as to where they were before being elected.
English
@j_eddies @SeeDeeMcLeod @Cjpearson WOW 150 employees....
DHS has about 240,000 employees and a budget of around $112 billion.
And he literally has no qualifying experience.

Jimmy Kimmel: "Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now."
The elitism of Hollywood summarized in one moment. 👇
English
@MusingsbyShe And he's not "just a plumber." LAZY, half-assed attempt at humor from someone who is not all that funny
English
@SeeDeeMcLeod @Cjpearson And he took over the family business, and it went from 6 employees to over 150 employees and a multi-million dollar company!
English
@Cjpearson It's not elitist to point out that being a plumber doesn't qualify you to be in charge of the Department of Homeland Security.

@tsnmike @Illini_Guys Pssst … your photo is from last year. KJ is in the background 🙄

There was something extra in that dunk by Illinois center Zvonimir Ivisic against VCU that shook the arena in Greenville, SC Saturday night.
What was it?
And why did it effectively end the Illini-Rams game with nearly a full half to play? We got answers:

@BobZuppke They say he needs to get to the FF ... but what a great season this has been!

@CollegeHoopsTIk He is usually pretty measured. He seemed fired up right there. Good for him!

Matt Painter with a scathing message to Miami (OH) head coach Travis Steele
Summed: Painter highlights that they’ve been scheduling MAC teams that have been better than Miami and it’s not on P5 to guess when inconsistent programs will outperform their NET
English
At age 24 (going on 25), Wisconsin’s Nick Boyd took every opportunity he could find to mock his college-aged opponents. To recap:
-No First-Team All-B1G
-No All-American mention
-No B1G Ten regular season title
-No B1G Ten tournament title
-No NCAA Tournament wins
