crazy illini lady

THIS is why I love this coach!!!

@BP3 So great to see you back!

Dear Illini, We’re proud. I am proud. I have 0 complaints. Wishing everyone the best in their futures and everyone returning we’re right back to it next season!!! #ILL

@LaTulip_Mike Thanks Mike. Have enjoyed your perspective all season. Until next year….

To say I enjoyed helping cover this group would be an understatement. An incredibly memorable season from a group that was about all the right things. Seeing the University & this program back on this stage was special. The arrow continues to point upward 🔸🔹

@BBarn64 @IlliniAllDay Thank you Brian! You & Deon are the best.

Just wanted to say a final thank you to the Illinois basketball team and coaches for a wonderful ride this season. Wow —what a journey! Also a thank you to the Illini Radio Network listeners who tuned in this year to our broadcasts ! It was an honor to be with you on the air!

@tracyhooksriley @Evolutionariez @MarshW_7 🙋🏻‍♀️

@MarshW_7 Thank you! I am so proud of him! Thank you for your service sir. My late partner was a fire captain. He died nearly 4 years ago. 🥹

This account is so innocent and cool. Just a mom proud of her insanely talented son. Hopefully the kid is a long time Wizard!

@TimberWool16 In march? When I lived in Canada it didn’t thaw until April 🥶. That’s why I only lasted a year 😱

@TimberWool16 Happy birthday Will!!!!

Wee Willy J ❤️🎈❤️

@Recru1t1ng_Guru Love the comparison to Curry 😆

#illini Matthew Bailey: I knew if I was going to come back to college it was going to be here to Illinois. Said Illinois invested him him and he wanted to invest back from a leadership point.

Is that Illinois’ Cowboy Tommy on Nebraska’s center court? He may have an NIL infringement! 😂

@UofIllinois Amazing man & leader! Will be soooo missed.

Chancellor Jones, from the entire Illinois family, thank you. 🧡

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense. Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry. At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special. Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right. My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton. -0 Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

@LisaPierce__ Great pool day with a great friend! Thanks for joining me ☺️

Fun day in the sun ☀️ with @janascuba 🫶🏻 thanks for the hospitality!

@ALionEye Soooo funny. I thought the same thing!opened mine last week. 😆

Trying to figure out the endgame with my souvenir box of Cheez-Its from the Citrus Bowl. The box I’ll obviously save. But the Cheez-Its inside… should they be eaten? Or am I going to show this box to my great-grandkids in 2050 with 25 year-old Cheez-Its inside?
