We Love No Other IlliniBoard

Each year, Tyler and I record a postseason therapy session to discuss our latest NCAA Tournament loss. This year, after making the Elite Eight, there's not much "therapy" needed. It's more of a... celebration. 

I asked for questions on Twitter and Slack and then answered those questions as I drove to Omaha for the 1st & 2nd Round of the NCAA Tournament. I got to every single question, which is why this is 2 hours and 40 minutes long. 

It's March. There's a Big Ten Tournament and then an NCAA Tournament ahead for the Illini. So Will and I sat down to discuss the Illini in March, past and present. 

John Gasaway is writing his Bubble Watch columns again (the original and the best), so that's my signal each year to bring him on the podcast to talk Illini basketball. Thankfully, it's not the "do the Illini have a chance to make it to the right side of the bubble?" discussion it would have been in the 2010's.

I asked for questions on Twitter and then pressed record as I was driving from Columbus to Champaign in my (totally not stolen) rental car. I say "totally not stolen" because, well, just listen to the first five minutes. 

You might have seen Mitch Gilfillan offering legal clarifications regarding the Terrence Shannon case on Twitter. With the news today that Shannon has been granted his TRO against the University, returning him to the roster and the rotation, I spoke to Mitch this evening to ask maybe a dozen legal questions. This was very helpful for me - I hope it's helpful for you as well.
