- Thanks to everyone for traveling with @IlliniMBB on the radio and streaming this year ! What an amazing year! So thankful for all the shoutouts this year to the broadcast crew. We love having you sharing the season with us. Illini Nation is awesome. Go Illini !!!
- Huge win for @IlliniMBB today in Madison. Road win at a tough place. Beat a senior-laden team on Senior Day. Quad 1 win. Set for double bye at BIg Ten tourney. All without #11 on the floor. Impressive
- With Kofi Cockburn And Andre Curbelo together running the floor it should be a fun watch for @IlliniMBB fans next winter.
- Have been airport busy today on the way to Eugene Oregon from Orlando. Have run into at least 10 Illini fans in terminals and on planes. Illini Nation is everywhere ! Awesome 😎
- Enjoy it Illini fans ! Savor a @B1GMBBall basketball championship! Don’t ever take them for granted. They are special ! See you In Indianapolis!
- Just want to say a big THANK YOU to all our Illini fans who took the time to listen to our Illini Radio broadcasts this season and to let us know how and where you were listening. So wonderful to hear from all of you from around the country and the world! Go Illini !!!
- Extremely well done by the CBS crew !With Illinois wearing jerseys in honor of their game against Michigan 100 years ago, CBS started coverage with a radio reenactment of some of Red Grange's six TDs on that day, and with Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson dressed in 1924 press box fashion:
- Great to visit tonight with 3 @IlliniMBB coaches. Great job putting these outstanding coaches together for @CoachesvsCancer by @CoachUnderwood. Fun evening!
- Kofi Coburn returning to Illinois. He just announced his return for a third season with the Illini. Big things in store for Brad Underwood’s team.
- Thinking about how quickly time can go by! Birthday #60 today. Blessed beyond measure! All I can say is—Go Illini !!!
