David Mirkovic is college basketball’s most electric personality… and might be on the way to being the sport’s best player too. Inside the chaotic mind of CBB’s next superstar in our @SInow digital cover: si.com/college-basketball/da…

You know it's almost college basketball season because I am writing 4,200 words on the Illini for a fansite for free. It's less "writing" than it is "lancing a boil," in that I have to get this stuff out of me or I will explode. illiniboard.com/illini-power…

Lawrence Frank literally laid out the entire workout process for Keaton Wagler 👇 1. 1-on-1 against Kingston Flemings ✅ 2. Processing Test (IQ/Character) ✅ 3. Biomechanics Test (Athleticism) ✅ Then explained that they talked to everyone around Illinois about him as well.

Free agent guard Ayo Dosunmu intends to sign a five-year, $112 million contract to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, with a player option in the fifth season, sources tell ESPN. Timberwolves made it a major priority to lock in Dosunmu after his tremendous postseason.

Look man, I hate that we lost. But being here to support the players (players in tears) when they return to the hotel is the core of all of this. We love no other.

The great @TylerCott asked #illini coach Brad Underwood about the fan support at the Final Four. "I feel bad for them we lost. I'm sorry. Can't ask for anything better, any more support. They travel. ...Wow, did they show up." FULL VIDEO: youtu.be/0l9nmbQYXwU
