That’s fair. We were more consistent imo.Sure, but objectively I think Wisconsin would be behind Michigan using DukeDevilz program ranking formula for the 2010s

And yet Iowa factually > Michigan......In the 2010s have more NC games, elite 8s, regular season titles, and big ten tournament titles.
That’s fair. We were more consistent imo.
(And you don’t want to go back even further where you guys were literally Northwestern.)No. My point is stats can get manipulated very easily to fit a narrative. Of course Illinois doesn’t want to go back 4-17 years.
Hasn’t happened in quite a while, continuing to wait might be detrimental!!I'll get help when Illinois loses to Iowa in men's basketball......
Not to my bank account it won't......Hasn’t happened in quite a while, continuing to wait might be detrimental!!
Only Race/Parker Stewart participated in Senior Night....So who knows. I wouldn't be surprised to see TJD, XJ, Rob return....Galloway for sure. I could see Geronimo and Bates leaving. IMO, those two were criminally underused..I think Lander is gone, Durr probably returns...Leal for sure.IU guys, any guess who comes back next year?

I'd like to see TJD, XJ, Rob, Bates, Geronimo and Durr return; obviously Race----but I think he uses his CVID year to transfer. Don't know why you would participate in Senior Night, then return---but who knows.
Iowa people are weird.I like how the Big 10 is thinking putting the Iowa and Illinois rivalry at the end to close out the season. They are selling the best rivalry, since Indiana wants to continue to let Purdue play pretend, but we had no representation this Sat.
How does that sell the league?
Iowa people are weird.
That was a big game for bubble teams too because Murray st was going to get an at large regardless. No bid steal from the ovcPretty good Murray st more head st game. Nice banked 3 by morehead st to pull within 1.
You spelled dumb wrongIowa people are weird.
Heh heh, heh heh.......morehead.Pretty good Murray st more head st game. Nice banked 3 by morehead st to pull within 1.
But rarely wrong.Iowa people are weird.
I’m not going to even speculate at this point because so much can change. Im confident lander transfers (because duh) and race Thompson is likely gone as well.IU guys, any guess who comes back next year?
You use the B1GAre we? We are the glue that keeps the Big 10 together
Woodson unfortunatelyIU guys, any guess who comes back next year?
I heard that name on the broadcast and laughed. Didn’t realize he ended up out there. I think he is from Wisconsin.Te’Jon Lucas, one of the few players from the John Groce era still in college, just picked up his third foul in the first half in the BYU USF game. Still trying to shake off the bad habits he learned at Illinois a half decade ago.
Yeah he is. Also played at uw Milwaukee for a few years too. I think the only way you could still be in college and on that last groce team is to have transferred multiple times. The other one is Coleman lands and he’s been at 4 schools (Illinois DePaul Iowa state kansas).I heard that name on the broadcast and laughed. Didn’t realize he ended up out there.

Yea I was a little shocked to hear that name too the other day when I finally caught some Kansas game.Yeah he is. Also played at uw Milwaukee for a few years too.

I think its a possibility...Otherwise, seems he would have participated in Senior Night? Or maybe he's along the lines of Phinisee---who said he wasn't doing so, and was gonna talk it over with the fam....I just think if a guy is 100% leaving, or strongly considering so, he goes through SR night....I guess.You really think TJD comes back for a 4th year?
I have that pit in my stomach like right before you think you might lose to you disabled cousin tomorrow!Oh indeed, you Illini shit sacks.
Seems like a century ago he was occasionally making threes for us.Yea I was a little shocked to hear that name too the other day when I finally caught some Kansas game.
You think wisc loses to Nebraska at home?Uh oh. Lots of people picking Iowa as a trendy upset to deny Illinois that 1 seed in the B10 tourney. @Jaycg15
Better make sure your Illinois come through for me tomorrow against Iowa's lowly defense that gives up easy hear ball 3s to anyone willing to just walk across half court and throw the ball in the general vicinity of the hoop, which constitutes most of Illinois' offense when playing Iowa......aside from feeding Cock-burn.
Btw, congrats on your hard fought win on the gridiron tomorrow, which I'm totally saying because Iowa of all teams is so well known for its body checking, physical defense and in no way, shape, or form, am implying what Illinois will be allowed to get away with defensively on its Senior Day against its hated rival with a chance at a 1 seed in the B10 tourney on the line!!!
Makes sense but Ivey didn’t go thru senior night.I think its a possibility...Otherwise, seems he would have participated in Senior Night? Or maybe he's along the lines of Phinisee---who said he wasn't doing so, and was gonna talk it over with the fam....I just think if a guy is 100% leaving, or strongly considering so, he goes through SR night....I guess.
With that being said---I really don't know. His draft stock isn't going to go anywhere if he stays---unless after 3 years, he decides to finally work on a jumper?
IMO,60/40 he comes back....TBH,if I had to choose between he and Race----I'd take Race.
Sophomores usually don’t….Makes sense but Ivey didn’t go thru senior night.
Juniors sometimes do and sometimes don’t. That was the larger point. I don’t think TJD not going thru it had much impact on his eventual outcome. Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he transferred. His draft stock hasn’t changed in 3 years under two coaches. Maybe a venue change would help on that front.Sophomores usually don’t….
Congrats on the win today.Uh oh. Lots of people picking Iowa as a trendy upset to deny Illinois that 1 seed in the B10 tourney. @Jaycg15

What exactly would a transfer accomplish?Juniors sometimes do and sometimes don’t. That was the larger point. I don’t think TJD not going thru it had much impact on his eventual outcome.
