There's No Point In Stopping Now

I wouldn't mind another Illini game or two this season, would you?

Win Or Go Home

The goal this season may have been just to make the tournament, but now that we're here we might as well win the fucking thing.

Indiana Wants Revenge

And here I was hoping the Hoosiers would never have a chance to get it.

Make Your Shots And Move On

The Big Ten Tournament will start on Thursday morning with the Illini taking on a familiar opponent.

Plenty Left To Play For

Tom Fornelli Mar 10 2013, 10:07a

It's the final game of the regular season and the Illini could really use another win to get to 9-9 in the conference. Oh, and for other reasons that are a lot more important than that.

Don't Get Complacent

Tom Fornelli Mar 5 2013, 2:00p

The Illini are pretty much sure things to get to the dance this year while Iowa is fighting for its life. All of which means the Illini can't relax tonight if they want to leave Iowa City with a win.

And So The Story Approaches Its End

It's Senior Day at Assembly Hall as the Illini faithful prepare to watch Brandon Paul, D.J. Richardson and Tyler Griffey play in front of the Krush one last time.

Let's Not Be Penn State's First Win

Tom Fornelli Feb 21 2013, 12:15p

Penn State is yet to win a Big Ten game this season and it probably won't get one tonight, either.

Beware The Wounded Wildcats

Tom Fornelli Feb 17 2013, 12:00p

Northwestern has been devastated by injuries this year, but the Illini can't take it for granted on Sunday in Evanston.

Don't Let Yourself Down

Tom Fornelli Feb 13 2013, 1:00p

The Illini return home after two huge wins to begin a stretch of games against beatable opponents. Can they avoid the letdown?

So........Now What?

Tom Fornelli Feb 10 2013, 1:30p

The win against Indiana was fantastic, but it's in the rearview mirror now. How the Illini handle the games after that win will determine whether or not the Indiana win actually means anything.

Prepare Your Anus

Tom Fornelli Feb 7 2013, 1:33p

Just what you want to see when you're not playing very well and need a win: the #1 team in the country.

The First Of Many Must Wins

Tom Fornelli Feb 3 2013, 10:39a

It may not feel like it but the Illini have a chance to get to the tournament this season. To do so this afternoon's game is one they're going to have to have.

+

Tom Izzo Should Retire

Tom Fornelli Jan 31 2013, 12:00p

In our history the Illini are 55-55 against Michigan State, but that record was a lot better before Tom Izzo came to East Lansing.

Entering The Gauntlet

Tom Fornelli Jan 27 2013, 12:21p

Life in the Big Ten has already been rough on the Illini but starting today against Michigan it's going to get even worse.

The Dead Need Not Fear Death

Tom Fornelli Jan 22 2013, 11:22a

On Tuesday night the Illini return to the building where they -- and we -- learned that this team was in a lot more trouble than we could ever imagine.

It's Time To Get Right

Tom Fornelli Jan 17 2013, 12:30p

After a pair of beatings from Minnesota and Wisconsin that have the Illini faithful doubting their team again, now is the time to restore some of that faith as we prepare to face that TEAM UP NORTH.
