Re: IlliNIT Thread
Does Jamall Walker get credit for being Illinois' first African American coach?

I would say yes, since they are actual games that count.

Re: IlliNIT Thread
Illini up 41-24 at half. Hill with 13 points in the 1st half and Black with 11.
No Finke in tonight's game due to a toe injury that he's apparently been dealing with since January.

Valpo-Peters=Bradley
I favor capital punishment. But there are alot of cases where I don't think capital punishment applies (parking violations) and cases where it should be applied (murder, child molestation, illegal HS football recruiting).- BirdWatcher

Hire Jamal!!
Seriously Valpo was bad team with Peters. They are brutal without him.

Re: IlliNIT Thread
I'm rooting for a deep UIUC run in the NIT to force that really awkward "well he did win the NIT" convo in regards to Walker.
Re: IlliNIT Thread
They will say he won it with Groce's players.

Re: IlliNIT Thread
Should be fun Monday night. Ticket sales are going really well it appears on the ISU site. Tacko Fall will be fun to watch (7'5" C for UCF) along with former Redbird Nick Banyard.
Re: IlliNIT Thread
Illini at UCF Wednesday 6 PM CDT.
Illinois State couldn't hold up there end.

Re: IlliNIT Thread
With all the upsets in the NIT, is Illinois the highest seeded team remaining?
Re: IlliNIT Thread
I'm pretty sure that is correct.
Edit: Correct. There are a couple 4s left. Illini only 1, 2 or 3 left. Amazing.

Re: IlliNIT Thread
Many teams lay down in the NIT though. Some teams seize the opportunity, but for most Power 5 teams, they'd rather be on spring break. That's true even for teams outside the P5...there was a famous episode between Bradley and Drake I believe where a Drexel player while lining up for free throws, told the Bradley guy next to him, "We want to lose worse than you."

Illini lose by ten, 68 - 58.
Re: IlliNIT Thread
Only got to listen to last 5 minutes. Cut 19 deficit to 6 and 3 times missed 3-pointers.
Anyone other than Hill make the flight to Orlando?
