@phicago @uniformcritic Oh, it is 100 percent 4/25/84

@uniformcritic Based on Ryno's stats and Harry's updates on league leaders, it is extremely likely that this is clip is from the game played on 4/25/84. Cubs won the series but Cards took this game 7-5 to avoid the sweep. baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN1…

Random 80s at bats: Bob Forsch vs Ryne Sandberg and Keith Moreland (1984).

@SRidgeAthletics I assume you will be streaming the Regional games today?

Random Chris Berman nickname thread. Bring it strong. I’ll start us off with the immortal Oddibe “Young Again” McDowell.

Can we dispense from using "Lady" in front of team names in HS girls basketball. This is 2026, not 1976. #ihsaatv

Eureka Girls basketball travels to Hamilton on Monday... 2hrs 30 min to play Peoria Manual who is only 25 minutes away. So.... YES... Seed 1-32... and quite frankly, return to the traditional football format until the new proposal and date changes are voted on TOGETHER....

@TOCSportsNet Yes, Evansville Harrison 61, Vincennes Lincoln 57 - Final

@TOCSportsNet Is this a final score?

HS Boy's Basketball LHS vs. Evansville Harrison 4th QT- Alices: 57 Harrison: 61

The best offenses don’t run plays. They hunt advantages. That’s the lens the Illinois Fighting Illini men’s basketball uses every game. The first question isn’t what do we run?
It’s what’s our biggest strength and where is their biggest weakness? Everything flows from there. Illinois talks constantly about creating, attacking, and maintaining advantages. One action into the next. Spacing as a weapon. Letting individual skill shine when there’s a switch, and flowing right back into team advantage if the defense stays home. Shot selection is the backbone of it all. They simplify it: gold (layups), silver (threes), bronze (midrange) shots.
And then they practice different constraints so players feel it. For example: No-dribble possessions.
Scores only off cuts.
Offense made intentionally hard. Why? Because constraints teach players how many ways a possession can still produce a gold-medal shot. Early in the season, they were playing fast, but the shot quality wasn’t good enough. So they adjusted. Now they’re one of the slowest teams in the Big Ten. Not because slow is better.
Because it fits their strengths. The result? ~50% of shots from three ~43% at the rim ~7% midrange (mostly late clock) That’s not accident. That’s alignment. Takeaway:
Great offense isn’t about pace or volume, it’s about discipline, spacing, advantages, and repeatedly choosing the best shot available. Listen to coach @TyUnderwoodILL

@JamesPurchin @IlliniMBB @transformbball

@ALionEye Perfect! I think we were born about 4 days apart so I get it.

A quick note while I’m stopped in Wingate: SiriusXM 80s on 8 is playing the top 40 songs from this week in 1989. Which is when I got my drivers license (and obsessed over Illini basketball). The January 1989 vibes in this car right now are off the charts. Hasta la vista, baby.

I can’t believe we’re in 2026 and NCAA men’s basketball is still playing halves because NCAA women’s basketball switched to quarters first & NCAA men’s coaches don’t want to follow the women’s game (despite FIBA, NBA, NFHS).

@mc_wayne_ @Rockies @KrisBryant_23 Javy and Schwarber aren’t at the Cubs Convention

@David_Rizzo_44 @thescorechicago Current MLB players from other teams to clarify

@David_Rizzo_44 @thescorechicago No current MLB players were at the Cubs Convention. They never have been or should be.

2016 World Series champion Chicago Cubs take the stage at Cubs Convention!

@mrwagner25 Why were they there?

Las Vegas Aces four-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson and Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo, a three-time NBA All-Star, are at the State Farm Center for #illini WBB vs. No. 19 Ohio State.

@IlliniWBB Why are they there?

Welcome to Champaign, A’ja & Bam 🙌

@JoeVozzelli Why?
