So, we split with Butler - scores below:

2-6

11-2

22-3

5-8

15-14 record overall

Home vs Indiana State on Tuesday.

Illinois goes 50 real-time minutes without scoring, they pulled a Virginia! 

These late games kill me, I'm up past my old man bedtime. 

Proud of the Lady Hoosiers, they fought to the end!

Found the foodies thread! If you live near Fort Wayne, you need to go visit the Union Street Market at Electric Works, the beautifully redone GE building that sat vacant for 80 years. Great NYC style pizza place, Johnny Ox, plus other great locally connected places. Very cool place, couple of breweries in there as well.

It is pretty cool, I was there recently. Need to try the pizza!

Lost the first game to Butler. 😐

When the weather warms up, I am going to drive down for a game. Never been to the Bart before. Last time I saw IU baseball play live was in the 90's when it was Sembower Field which felt like a little league field.

Caleb Love. 0-9 from 3 and 1 assist and 3 turnovers.

Justin Steele forced to leave the Cubs-Rangers game B5 with what appears to be a hamstring injury. Poop.

I know it's a different position, but look at JHS.  Yes, he's getting first round money, but he lit up the B10 last year and now he's in the GLeague.  MM had his moments but he wasn't close to the impact JHS was. 

Getting Tucker is a good first step, since that'll make 3 top-30 recruits on the roster.  Given that MM is getting paid, land one or two more weapons and coming back to play another season of college ball sounds good to me. 

I agree. I definitely don't think it means anything negative in regards to whether MM returns or not, but wanted to check the pulse here to make sure I'm not missing something.

I expect MM to get feedback on his pro prospects and return for next season.

Yeah, that was wild. Who do you want to commit and I will do my best to spur along the commitment. 

Connor Hickman

A buddy just texted me that he thinks Tucker committing means Mbako is gone. But I don't think that is the case at all, right?

Woody for president! 💪😎🤘

I think we need a poll on what nickname to use for Mbako. I'd like to add M-squared to the mix.

I like the Taco nickname and I love updating the Taco Meter during game threads for his 3 pointers! 🌮🌮🌮

I may consider going to the NIT finals. These games have been great!

I wish the finals fell on a weekend instead of during the week.

His NIL money is paid thru Canada ?? Not doubting your word, just seems wierd. I could certainly believe that he has other sources of income in Canada, but I would have thought his NIL money was paid in the states. My bad if I'm wrong.

His NIL is paid in maple syrup.

Pacers lose to Lakers by 5...Lakers have 43 FT to Pacers 16.  It is BS.

Funny how that works, eh? The foul disparity was 31-14. 

Celtics blow a 30 point lead and lose to the Hawks 120-118. 

I love giving the refs more subjective calls to mess up (drop hip tackle ban). 

Somewhere I was reading UK has a billionaire booster who is prepared to cover that $33 million buyout.

I think UConn is a better team.  

They can't counter the Canadian Wilt Chamberlain.
