Illinois non-conference schedule 

Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri and Duke? That's a good skate. And Duke in February?

Evidently she's holding out until Loyola wins it all.

Allegedly, UConn may join the B12 in 2 years for all sports but football then join in football in 2031

Check his comments. You can always spot the guys who’ve never actually seen Xavier Booker play.

Not sure that Northwestern for 18th and last place behind Minnesota and UW, is such a good take lol.

Last four years for Izzo in conference?

9-11

11-9

11-8

10-10

Not exactly looking like a dominant team to me. Especially considering that he enters this year without his top three scorers, top two assist men, and top two rebounders from last year's team

Yep, HoF coach who is no longer producing HoF results, yet the "experts" seem to forget this every offseason. Couldn't happen to a sleazier guy.

For anyone who’s got Trilly’s premium discord they’re chatting up CTC tonight at 7. Imagine he’d be great in that sort of environment.

The more I see from Andy Katz, the more I realize -- he really doesn't know B1G basketball. Or maybe he's just never been to Bloomington. 

Our program has been pretty crappy at times recently, but our fan base? Top notch. At least our "true fans." LOL! 

To rate the Toiletmakers and Farting Illini above us? I don't get it. And UConn? The program is definitely aces, but does anything really stand out about its fan base?  

He ranked the top campuses in the B1G a while back and if memory serves, had Northwestern and Minnesota ahead of us.

Kind of reminds me of a coach we had once upon a time...

Hurley is owed any amount of money imaginable if that happens. It would be one of the very few programs where the basketball team is leading the football into a better situation during conference realignment. I had thought they had given up on football. But their basketball program is so hot a big conference is willing to admit them on the strength of it and a promise to reinvest in football? Kinda crazy.

IU gets mentioned here but not seen as a leader.

You could probably throw a blanket over the 1st 3. UCLA-USC is probably the only 1 that just looks dead wrong.

I always think that IU-UK could've developed into a major rivalry but for Cal's chickening out after that memorable game in the Hall.

Illinois - Missouri over KU-Missouri?

I guess I get it, but I'd definitely have KU-Mizzou over Illinois even though KU dominates that series. Illinois-Mizzou happens annually, but KU and Mizzou legitimately hate each other.
