I've been wondering if that is the surprise.... hate to say it, but its a little too late for that to get me excited. If he does play, his contribution will have to be limited

For those of us who didn't see it, what did he say?

 

He basically got angry and said that "see, that is why there's a Duke conspiracy", this was after Temple pulled to within 5-6 points and Redick pushes a guy to the floor, and then Temple got whistled for brushing against JJ 2 seconds later. They showed the replay again and Len said there was clearly a push-off, "you can't argue with pictures".

Nice win Illini.

 

I Dee and James.

 

Sure am gonna miss....DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FORRRRRRRRRRRRR THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

A fitting tribute, Dee and James set the new all time record for wins at Illinois by winning over a very good opponent in their final home game. Now let's finish out strong and make a nice run in the 2 tournaments and really send the guys out on a good note. I still wish we'd make some free throws, but it was nice to see the others besides Dee and Augie step up, and it was nice to see everybody on Iowa pretty much shut down besides Brunner, who I'm glad to see will be gone after this season.

Really an emotional ending to all of this. Both players looked close to tears while addressing the crowd after the game.

 

Solid, solid game and win.

I was in tears...my last home game

 

NOW JASON GET THIS STUPID HAWKEYE OUT OF MY SIGNATURE

It's not going to be the same without those two patrolling the court.

 

I don't think it's going to fully sink in until next season.

Next year will be when you see how much talent Illinois has lost the last 2 years, and then 2008 and on will be when you see how much was accomplished and built by the players who left the last 2 years.

Nice sig Jason

we won by 12 so i couldnt storm the court in honor of #11

Any Ohio State fans out there can thank Illinois whenever they want btw, as our win today clinches an undisputed Big Ten Title for the Buckeyes. Unless of course, Welsh Ryan magic does it's thing for a third time, but even then I doubt we win the last 2 road games...

I think DJ is playing now, from what I understand. I don't see him giving us that much, but it could be a "Rudy" thing and give us a nice jolt.

 

Congrats to tOSU, I guess it's kind of nice to be one of the teams that beat them in the Big Ten.

 

And yay, I just got done playing a game with the IU managers against the MSU managers. Let's hope tomorrow's game goes as well as tonight's did.

Kansas getting roughed up pretty good right now, down 16 early in the 2nd half at Texas. LaMarcus Aldridge is completely dominating.

Dammit! SIU has to play MSU or UNI in the second round(provided they can beat E-ville or Ill St). Thats gonna be a tough second game, although I bet WSU is cursing that they get Creighton in their side of the bracket.

Greasy, did you read that SIU and IU just signed a home and home contract? I think SIU football is also visiting IU next year as well.

Solid, UNI as a 6. Eat that McDermott.

Creighton's going down first round and the Shocks are going down on Saturday.

 

Really, with the top 6 as strong as there is, there was no way to get a perfect draw. I like what we got, I wanted to avoid Bradley for as long as possible and that happened. We also lucked out in the fact that we get Evansville or Illinois State in the quarters and don't have to go at one of the top 6 there. It's going to be one fun weekend though, I can't wait to get there Friday.

Haha, I knew you'd like that.

Yep. I knew about the football for a while, because I have a HS friend that plays for SIU. And Rowand showed me the basketball. It's a good non-conference set-up for the both of us.

Congrats Illini. Haven't been on at all today but nice work on the new siggy for me.

All illini fans, it never hurts to watch this again.

I witnessed 6 Bulls titles. I've seen the White Sox win a title. I've never in my life gotten as loud, hype, crazy, nuts, ect as I did when the Illini won that game. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen as far as team sports go. March 26, 2005. I'll never forget. Props to Dee and James on outstanding careers. Good luck in the NBA.
