Coleman has always been great to Illini fans.

Really think that when the offense is that bad, maybe using Podz, RJ or Goode might be a good idea.

Big Ten officiating has to get better. You watch the Pac 12, ACC, Big 12, etc. and they aren't this bad.

Illinois has won 7 of 8 and they are in 2nd place in the Big Ten. That's hard to do in the Big Ten. Too much negativity for a squad winning at that rate.

Coach K has his issues, but he waited around and shook the hands of every UNC player and coach after an emotional loss to end his career. Kudos.

16 days ago the Illini beat Texas in New York.
Since that time this team has become dysfunctional on and off the court.

Hey ESPN...how about you talk about the fact the score is really 28-17 instead of the 'lost' timeout because SC had to make 2 different subs

Kofi gets the crap kicked out of him every game. What if he just punches a guy against Michigan?
