So there's no denying that we are a basketball school.

Shout out the football team.

Brad and I'm doing an unbelievable job.

We, you know, golf.

I mean, we, Josh Whitman has done a great job with all our programs.

We, you know, championship level programs, great hires, but men's basketball, Illinois basketball is special.

And to see where it is today, it's just amazing to be a fan.

It's amazing to be an alum.

And I'm just so happy with the program is today.

I really am.

We got to get timely stops.

Our defense got to be locked in.

If we're not making shots, our defense got to be where it was against Houston.

We got to be dominant on the defensive side, no matter if the shots are going in or not.

I think our biggest strength is our rebounding.

You know, Brad does a great job of controlling glass.

You know, we attack the offensive glass at times with something like that.

That's our primary offense is getting off the glass after shooting long shots.

But I think our shooting and our size, you know, we skilled at every position with that size.

So we got skilled players.
