WATCH: #Illini Brad Underwood and David Mirkovic on the controversial play in the first half which was reviewed for a possible trip on Michigan State's Jeremy Fears. Underwood: "There was nothing on the trip. They looked at it. It's always going to be a judgmental thing. He stops... It's what he does." Mirkovic: "I was just running down, fell. Coaches saw that. I think it was accident."

I asked #Illini assistant Tyler Underwood about finding Keaton Wagler: -He says it's a credit to Adam Fletcher that the Illini are willing to take players who need physical development -Wagler's AAU coach actually played for Brad Underwood at Oklahoma State. -"You see the natural decision making, everything that we value in a player he showcased. But I don't think any of us thought he was going to come in here and have 46 in Mackey as a freshman."

"How much time we got?" Brad Underwood says the best advice he got when taking the Illinois job was from Josh Whitman - suggesting he strongly consider keeping Adam Fletcher. "I might be the only head coach in the country who caters to my strength coach." "Ayo came back and he said 'Coach I'm getting everybody that played here coming back and we're going to spend extended periods of time here because of Fletch, because of nutrition, because of this facility.'"

Brad Underwood didn't hear any of the chatter around the Orange Krush, he was surprised to hear it was a topic of conversation. Kylan Boswell says he was proud of the #Illini student section. Underwood: "They're great. We got the best fans in the country. All I want is our building to have, at some point, all that concrete up there start chipping away because it's so loud, and then we can stress Josh [Whitman] out instead of me." Props to Jeremy Werner for the questions.

#Illini Brad Underwood says his team's practice before coming to Houston was something he's only seen one other time -- before the canceled 2020 tournament. "It's one of those where you just don't want it to end... It was very fun. We were very dialed in. Very emotional practice, very intense." (Video from KXAN)

This moment clearly meant a lot to Brad Underwood. He credits his wife, Susan for raising the kids while he was busy coaching. "I never coached my kids, I was never around for Tyler." "When it came to sports, he did it all on his own." "To see what he's become as a coach... a profession I didn't want him to get into." "That one's pretty special." #Illini

Brad Underwood spent about two minutes in his postgame press conference to compliment Terrence Shannon Jr. for the way he handled the jersey reveal mistake. "I couldn't be any more proud of the way that young man handled that situation-- his moment. And then to turn it around and give it all to charity." Says he challenges every business and every alum to buy it- and adds he will buy hundreds. Terrence Shannon Jr Gameday Spirit | Illinois

WATCH: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker comes out strongly today against Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s “head tax” proposal. “I am absolutely foursquare opposed to a head tax for the city of Chicago. It penalizes the very thing that we want, which is more employment in the city of Chicago. It makes it very hard to attract companies from outside the city to come in and harder for companies already here to stay.” Pritzker also said Johnson needs to work harder to find efficiencies in the city budget, rather than threatening the economic growth of the city and state with a new tax on jobs. “Balancing the budget for the state of Illinois and for the city of Chicago is vital. It can’t be ignored, it has to be done, but it shouldn’t be done with a head tax in the city of Chicago… “I am confident the city can do it. Look, you’ve got to start with efficiencies. You’ve got to go into city government—and I haven’t seen any of that in this budget so far. That’s going to have to happen because there are going to be changes. People are not going to like certain kinds of revenue enhancements that he’s got in his budget. So you’ve got to find efficiencies, and there are efficiencies to be found—some with technology, some because we have departments doing things that maybe we don’t need done. And finally, how about we do our best to attract, retain, and grow businesses in the city of Chicago, because that, again, is the best way for us to pay the bills.” Under Johnson’s proposal all companies employing 100+ people in Chicago would have to pay a tax of $21 per employee per month. As Pritzker correctly points out, it’s a punishment for creating jobs.

Love this from #Illini head coach Brad Underwood - asked if he has any issue/finds it unfair to have to play Houston IN Houston in the Sweet 16. "I could care less... I'm an old JUCO ball coach. I drove on 16 passenger fans. I drove from Dodge City, Kansas to Mesa, Arizona for a basketball game... If you had told me back then that I'm getting to coach basketball in the Sweet 16 and play Houston - I would sign up for it, I would crawl to get there." Says regardless of where the game is, Illinois would/will need to play well to beat the Cougars. (Video from NCAA)
