Feel like Boswell has the 25 quietest points ever.

Under 16 2nd half - SOMETHING FALL!
I miss 2024 Tomi.
Defense has tightened up plus UConn is struggling. The window remains open but Illinois just won’t take advantage.

Illini may have missed their moment. Got a couple friendly calls, missed b2b free throws, several offensive fouls and somehow still head to halftime with less momentum than UConn.

Great effort by Z this stretch. And not a pretty turnover by Mirkovic but making his presence known.

At some point you got to play the brothers together. I don’t see a downside in trying it now.

Under 8… Illini playing tight. Seeing the immaturity. Feels like this one is over early. Need a spark.

Under 12 timeout - well that sucked. Couldn’t have been a worse stretch. And I don’t know the answer to get back into it.

Under 16 timeout - Mirkovic been the best Illini on the floor. UConn can’t miss - left rim seems very soft. Refs letting them play - Right before timeout they missed a Boswell illegal screen.

Feel like that should have been continuation.

How likely do we think it’s actually a coincidence?
Gonna be hard for Brad Underwood to coach just his second team past first weekend in a decade-long P4 coaching career if he keeps destroying his players in practice.

PS. Ty was hurt away from practice in a pickup game, but point carries.

It’s amazing how much talent Underwood has amassed over the years. How amazing would it be if they were ever able to all play together… and not hurt… in practice.

I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk:
- 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi
- basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing
- each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

#BlueJays are a really fun watch. Got Springer hitting all-timer homers on a bum knee. Bichette playing a position for the first time and making a key defensive play coming back from his injury. And Kirk early front runner for WS MVP looking all… Kirk-like.

Possible Clement took that risk cuz he wasn’t very confident in Mr Schneiders “dangerous” #2 hitter…
We discussed this lineup earlier today before the game, but first inning played out like John Schneider was dying to take runs off the board before first pitch was thrown, @caseyboguslaw.bsky.social.

From 2022-2024, 29% of Schwarber’s PA came with runners on, compared to 40% in 2025, @mattgelb.bsky.social.
Also from 2022-2024, he had at least one chance to hit with men on in 87% of games played, versus in 94% this year.
Despite TEAM OBP varying 1 percentage point for above periods.

ESPN trying to be come the worldwide leader again? The 10 year old me would be thrilled but their fall from grace over the last decade has been hard to forgive.
