    *** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    You guys had a hell of a team. I ended up watching a handful of your games to familiarize myself with your team. Very likable and talented group of guys. Good game.

    Hope you guys enjoy a loose whistle in the first half followed by a tight second half whistle. That’s the Courtney Green special.

    Courtney Green was horrendous in Big Ten play.

    *** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    2 #1 seeds have lost to 16’s recently. Losing to KenPom number 10 team in the round of 32 doesn’t come close to those.

    Illinois matchup

    My guess is Domask will guard Momcilivic or Gilbert depending who else is in, and Illinois will be more than happy to let him shoot mid-range jumpers regardless of the outcome. Shannon will guard Lipsey to start and move to Gilbert when Harmon subs in. Domask isn’t going to lock anyone down, but...

    Coffee Maker

    So coffee is my passion. It all depends on what you drink. If you just need the caffeine boost and don’t care about a decent cup of coffee, a drip is the way to go. in all seriousness, there are a few decent drips on the market. I haven’t had much success with them in comparison to other...

    RECRUITING: THT commits

    Se Semantics. He could've committed to Illinois still essentially, but he was told not to.

    RECRUITING: THT commits

    Agree completely. Xavier was recruiting Ayo, but began focusing solely on THT when they saw that Ayo was going to Illinois. While I commend that our staff actually looks like they have what it takes to pull their top targets just made tainted THT's night. He was going to ISU prior to the...

    RECRUITING: THT commits

    Hey, guys. Congrats on the pickup! I'm definitely going to have to watch you guys play (and beat) Iowa now. Really wanted this guy, and I'm disappointed with what transpired. If all accounts are accurate, it's a shame what Illinois put him through, and it's frankly embarrassing. I'm glad that...

    Talen Horton-Tucker cuts list to 3 (ISU is on it)

    Possible announcement date change to lend further credibility. He knew who he wanted, and now he doesn't know.

    Because the source has direct contact with THT. It's why we're adamant that people claiming it was a ploy are incorrect.

    You're just wrong, and you don't know better. It was the same information from multiple independent sources. Illinois had the same info as Xavier and Iowa State. Brian Snow, Jerry Meyer, Eric Bossi, etc all were saying the exact same thing.

    Talen Horton-Tucker cuts list to 3 (ISU is on it)

    Yeah, Illinois is now officially out. I really like THT. This sucks for our fanbase and THT, and it really taints the perception of Ayo. I hope you guys get him. I'm pretty pissed off at what has transpired.

    Haven't had time to read all the replies, but Illinois' hand was forced on this one. It is now officially up in the air.

    I'm just saying that I know that's not true. I don't think one of your paid sites is in agreement with that consensus either.

    Talen Horton-Tucker cuts list to 3 (ISU is on it)

    He's spoken to people that I know for a fact have spoken directly to THT. Not sure if he's had any direct contact recently.

    Talen Horton-Tucker cuts list to 3 (ISU is on it)

    Honestly, guys, I know THT is too young to have seen what the Illinois program looked like in its prime, so I don't know what the draw is. There is open playing time at his position and two examples of players that did really well at the position under BU. I do know he's spoken to past Illinois...

    I'm confident that's not without reason.

    It may be only to me and the other Illinois fan. To be fair, we buttered you up with our eye-to-eye hatred of Iowa. As for the THT recruitment, I'm aware that THT's camp and Ayo's camp have contacted each other to smooth things out recently.
