Shoutout to Scott Van Pelt.
Illinois battled Maryland last night for sole possession of first place in the Big Ten, so Van Pelt took a trip to Champaign to watch his Terrapins. Following many of the folks who still cover/follow the team, my timeline was stuffed with snapshots of Van Pelt simply hanging with fans.
One of ESPN’s biggest faces simply took it in the experience alongside everyone else. Doesn’t matter who you are, that’s what being a sports fan is all about. Great stuff.

The Bulls by contrast have 8 lottery picks on their roster including 5 players in the top seven and haven't won 3 straight games since February of 2019

Coby White handed out a career-high nine assists on Thursday, the most by a Bulls rookie since Derrick Rose in 2009. He also recorded his 30th double figure scoring game of the season, the second-most among rookies coming off the bench.

When the Bulls fired Hoiberg and replaced him with Boylen, here was Paxson's justification: "What we’re lacking is kind of an energy and a spirit about our team, and we need to get that back."
