Welcome into the Ilan Inquirer podcast, Jeremy Warner and Michael Tulip joining us as we got a lot to talk about Illinois throttles Indiana by 25 points at

Assembly Hall, which is a rare thing to see Indiana get beat like that at home outside of the

early Tom Crean era when he's rebuilding them out of sanctions. Now we got a huge game for Illinois.

They travel to Michigan State who remains undefeated during

Big Ten play. We'll talk. We got to start talking about the Big Ten player of the year race and the

coach of the year race. And of course, I think Illinois has a couple of people that will be

involved in that. But Michael, too, how are you, man? I'm good. I took a look at myself in the

mirror before I came on and realized we're in the middle of basketball season because I just, this is like letting myself go for me. This is, I just feel like grungy or whatever you want to, whatever word you want to use. I'm not not i've been blessed with like the ability to grow a ton

of facial hair but when like the it starts getting sporadic around the neck that's when i know i'm

just i'm heads heads down in middle of not only just having a full-time job but but doing the basketball

stuff as well yeah the lord didn't bless me with uh hair on top of the head mike but yeah i can

grow pretty you got that got that, yeah.

We just need to like, we need to flip.

All right.

This is how I got to start this because Illinois, huge win.

Plenty to talk about Casper Seacchionis coming back.

Obviously huge.

The storyline was Indiana getting its ass kicked.

I'm at home. That was an embarrassment for Indiana getting its ass kicked. At home, that was an embarrassment

for Indiana, and it just didn't look like, and we'll talk about him, outside of Luke Goody,

I just didn't see a lot of effort. I didn't see a lot of response from their coaching staff.

And I kept thinking to myself, Mike, this is why you passed on Dusty May was for another year of this under Mike Woodson.
