I think it's because Lauri doesn't really fit New Orleans all that well.

Wagner was a late first rounder. Nice upgrade over Gafford since he's a big that can actually stretch the floor a bit and not only dunk.

Hutchison was such a GarPax kind of pick. He probably would have gone late 2nd/undrafted but GarPax had to use a late 1st to get him.

Yeah hopefully the picks are protected. I wouldn't say the Bulls overpaid, but they definitely spent a lot of draft capital. At least it seems like AK has picked a direction for the franchise.

Vucevic is a real nice #2 to pair with LaVine. Now go get Lonzo...since we're already going for it this year.

I've always thought Underwood isn't a good in-game coach. We won as many games as we did this year because we out-talented just about everyone in the big 10.

Absolutely embarrassing performance from Ayo in the last 10 minutes. Got the ball stolen from him by a center twice.

Loyola completely took Ayo out of this game. Not a good look for his draft stock.

Illinois just can't get stops. No way to defend the high screen. I honestly don't see us winning this.

Loyola's got a great game plan and play extremely tough defense.

What a shame. Ricky made fans hate Jimmy by overusing the hell out of him and putting him in a bunch of crappy situations. And now he's gotta get TJS.

They really live and die with Duane Washington. Washington kept them in the B1G championship game and he totally shot them out of this game in OT.

Real bad start for Loyola so far.

Just look at the amount of useless contracts that we kept instead of Fuller...Graham, Foles, Quinn. All guys Pace got last year and gave us almost no production.

Cutting Fuller is just stupid. If you're trying to still compete (hence why they got Dalton in the first place), why would you cut your best CB when you have almost zero CB depth? It's just unbelievably dumb.

Mitch has issues reading defenses and making the correct decisions. A good offensive line will help give him more time to process things, but it won't make him a good QB.

I'm still not sure I understand how Loyola is that high in KenPom when they've played 1 ranked team all season and lost. I understand that they've dominated the MVC, but they've got 2 teams in the tournament from that conference.

They were always projected to get Loyola in the 2nd round. Lunardi even had that when they were projected as the last 1 seed. The crazy thing is that Loyola is like the 9th ranked team in the Pomeroy rankings. It's definitely not a easy draw for the Illini, but they've been playing top 10 teams for the entirety of March.

Illinois gets the #3 overall seed and potentially avoids Gonzaga until the national championship. Nice win vs. Ohio State in the B1G tournament, even though Ayo and Kofi looked really bad in the last 10 minutes of the 2nd half.

Robert had no issues hitting mistake breaking pitches. It was the high fastballs and sliders way out of the zone that he had issues with.

I'm not sure I understand this signing. Cain is playing this year right?

Am I dreaming? The Illini are up 28 on Michigan without Ayo. On the road too!

Yup, just had to wait one more month and I bet nobody would have complained about opening up. Now I gotta deal with people not wearing masks cause the governor said so. ?

Bad call, but even dumber play.

If we can't sign Cruz for more than $13 million there's no way we're going after Ozuna.
