@illiniduce @Ecnerwal23 For sure. All I’m saying is without NIL they are making 60k with $0 in the bank. If they are self aware and know pro ball isn’t in their future, $300k invested starting at age 22 is a lot of $ by the time they’re 55.

@stevekoch7 @Ecnerwal23 Right but you make 300k then 60k after graduation? Thats tuff.

I went to 4 schools in 4 years and damn sure none of them were paying me to go there All this to say I have ZERO problems with the transfer portal and young men and women taking advantage of their opportunity to get paid a bunch of money Sounds more like the fans have the issue

@illiniduce @Ecnerwal23 Most role players know they aren’t going pro. They are now looking at having a degree, no student debt (scholarship), and $300k . Way better off than a role player 5 years ago who just had a degree.

@Ecnerwal23 Their frustrations are emotional not logical. We want to love on our guy. We want some continuity. Like it was back then. So I get both sides. I do worry about what Coach Cal says. What happens to the role player making 300k when they graduate and don’t go pro?

After tonight's game I grabbed @BamBam_Boz for his instant emotions after playing his last game in orange and blue Personally, he's become a close friend To Champaign, he's become a hero

@Recru1t1ng_Guru Same thing for this year’s team. They lifted us up.🧡💙

@SteveKSnider @BamBam_Boz Bam is an Illini for life. Proud to cheer him on as the leader of this team. 🧡💙

The real ones have your back bro. It’s always the ones hiding behind a fake name and fake profile that talk the most shit because they know they would never have the balls to say it to your face. This magical season doesn’t happen without Kylan Boswell.

@glenn_kinley So glad he came back this year.

I asked Ben Humrichous - a former NAIA player who just competed in the Final Four - if he has an appreciation for that unlikely journey. I was moved by his answer. "When the buzzer sounded all I wanted to say was praise God - for the gift that this was... By God's grace... It's unlikely... God's sovereign hand being that in that... He did so many incredible things... God's grace just supplied what I need." @BHumrichous

Illinois is out… Now it’s down to Michigan vs Arizona. Be honest… Are you riding with the last Big Ten team left, or going Arizona? Drop it below 👇 #illini #B1G #FinalFour

@ALionEye Every second half in the tournament has been where we really won the games. Need another one now.

This is the first time I’ve sensed any nerves in months. The shots are there but many have been missed badly. Dre 1-4 at the line. Open threes not close. I guess it might be the shooting background but to me it looks like nerves. Hope we settle down in the second half.

@RestOnMyYannys @djrich32

I’m going to say it. The Game changed after this tweet. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ @djrich32 #FamILLy 🔶🔷

IOWA LOSES TO ILLINOIS

@ALionEye We lit the I

What happened here?

@ILLBoardRoom I’m glad you mentioned Trent. He was the one who stayed when Brad got hired. He deserves more recognition for everything he did.

Thank you Ayo Thank you Trent Thank you Kofi Thank you Terrence Thank you Marcus Thank you Coleman Thank you to all the Illini who helped turn this program around We’re going to the Final Four

@ALionEye 🧡💙

Hey dad, guess what? We’re back in the Final Four. And we might play Michigan for the title.

Good vibes only.

@itsAntWright Halftime adjustments for all 3 tournament games have been better than ever.

Talked about how Illinois adjusted their PNR defense during halftime of the Houston game We’ll see how they plan for Stirtz

@bdturner88 @ALionEye ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!

@ALionEye What are the Illini sections?

$41 in the door, $148 lower bowl. Why are you not at the airport right now?

@WrightRealtor1 @IlliniMBB @bigten

Not one @IlliniMBB fan should be punching their ticket for Indianapolis. This is not the same Iowa team we faced in early January. It will be a @bigten war

@JWerner247 I love that they do this for pot game interviews. Chemistry off the charts

#illini swarm David Mirkovic during the postgame TV interview.

@illiniduce Their halftime adjustments have been unreal.

Brad Underwood sucks

@wischlist Agreed.

Chose the wrong logo for Illinois.
