Fighting Illini men's basketball defeat Wisconsin Badgers 12-10-2024

  It was the Illini over the Badgers last night at. Seemed like a pretty good match up. The Illini played much better together this game than the Little Rock game I saw earlier this season. Hopefully they continue to be more comfortable with each others positioning and ability.

Head over to Zuma Press for the good stuff - it's all licensable. Here are some fun ones that landed in the seconds pile. I also keep a few of my favorites for viewing pleasure only on my website!

  The Illinois men’s basketball program is facing an early setback this offseason with the news that veteran guard-forward Ty Rodgers will be out indefinitely due to a knee injury sustained during a workout session. The injury, which requires surgery, is expected to keep him sidelined for a significant portion of the upcoming season, if not all of it. Rodgers’ absence goes far beyond stats. A staple of the Illini rotation, he has been a consistent and hardworking presence on the court since his freshman year.
