Roller Coaster Week for Illini Basketball (Ep055)

It’s our one year anniversary episode! We started this podcast February 22nd of 2021, and now 55 episodes and 12 postgame shows later we’re celebrating the year that was! THANK YOU to everyone that has listened to any episode over the past year. We really do appreciate the support and look forward to continuing to talk sports and entertainment. This week the guys recap an abysmal road loss followed by an impressive road win from Illinois. So what exactly is the Illini team right now? Craig Choate and Logan Lee give their thoughts. The NCAA tournament selection committee released their top 16 teams over the weekend. Illinois came in at #12, resulting in a 3-seed if the tournament started today. They guys also react to that. The Michigan-Wisconsin incident was happening AS we were recording so we bring you instant reaction to the fight that included Juwan Howard and Greg Gard. We bring in Robert Rosenthal of IlliniBoard.com to chat all things Illini too. Robert covered both games at Rutgers and at Michigan State. On his drive from Piscataway to East Lansing, our own Logan Lee gave him the great idea to stop in Cleveland to watch Ayo Dosunmu in the NBA Rising Stars game. The two talk about the exchange and the game. Major League Baseball has officially canceled game, spring training games that is. With the lockout still on going there is still no end in sight, and both Craig and Logan are sad. All that and much much more in episode 55!
