Wow. Per @cowell_noah, Parchment and Wallace appear to be the first teammates to have 20-point double-doubles in over a decade

Is this a birthday present for Loren Tate? I never thought we’d see this.
Mark the calendars. 📅 The Illini head to South Bend in 2027 before hosting Notre Dame in 2028.

There is no one like Loren. We are privileged to have him.
Cheers to 95! To celebrate, hard-working Hall of Famer Loren Tate will do his almost-daily @wdws1400 radio show at 5 pm and work on his weekly Tatelines column. #Illini

Just like you all predicted, Landon Davis nails Illinois' 19th 3-pt FG for a new single-game team record.

96-30 with 10:17 left. FDU may need to think about fouling here. #Illini

It's not like they're doing this with *just* the starters. 11 guys are in the box score. And their best player won't play tonight. 54-17 with 3:30 left in the first half.

With 11:05 minutes left in the first half, Illinois is on pace to score over 120 points.

I'm starting to get the feeling that Fairleigh Dickinson is overmatched.

Does that mean he will one day coach at Iowa?
David Mirković got an Illinois tattoo before arriving in Champaign 🔥

My previous post had an inaccuracy, and this is one clearer. Bottom line: 5 game-winning FGs with under 10 seconds left in the Bielema era. ⬇️
Over the last 30 years (since 1996), Illinois leads the nation in game-winning field goals with 0:10 seconds or less left in regulation with nine. Five of those nine game-winning kicks have come under Bielema (two in 2023, two in 2025, one in 2026).

This is the first game this season that the Illini defense has generated multiple turnovers.
