#17 Illini Hosts Maryland Thursday at State Farm Center
No. 17 Illinois hosts Maryland on Thursday night (8 p.m. CT, FS1) in the first of back-to-back home games in four days at State Farm Center.

Illinois is coming off a 70-68 heartbreaker Sunday at Big Ten leader and 12th-ranked Michigan State.

The loss at Michigan State snapped a three-game Big Ten road winning streak for the Fighting Illini.

Freshman Will Riley led the Illini against the Spartans, coming off the bench to score a game-high 19 points for his first double-digit scoring game in league play since posting 12 in his B1G debut at Northwestern on Dec. 6. Overall, it marked Riley’s ninth double-digit scoring game of the season.

Kasparas Jakucionis has been named Midseason All-America third team by The Sporting News. Jakucionis was one of just two freshmen among the 15 players recognized, along with Duke’s Cooper Flagg.

Illinois is 8-2 overall at State Farm Center this season with its losses at the buzzer to No. 1 Tennessee on Dec. 14 and to Big Ten newcomer USC in the Illini’s most recent home game on Jan. 11.

The Fighting Illini have outscored opponents by an average of 28.0 points at State Farm Center.

Illinois is No. 8 in the latest NCAA NET rankings, first among Big Ten teams. The Illini are tied for 10th nationally with four Quad 1 wins.

Maryland, which ranks 24th in the NET rating, is the third of four Quad 1 matchups in the Illini’s final five-games to close out the month of January.

Illinois is No. 9 in the latest KenPom net rating at 26.91, the top mark in the Big Ten. The Fighting Illini are on pace for their third top-10 ranking of the Underwood era, and the highest since finishing No. 4 with a rating of 29.06 in 2020-21.

Four of Illinois’ last five wins have come by 25+ points. The Illini defeated Chicago State, 117-64 (+53), recorded an historic 109-77 (+32) victory at No. 9 Oregon, earned a 91-52 (+39) home win over Penn State, and rolled to a 94-69 (+25) victory at Indiana.

Illinois is currently averaging 86.8 points, the team’s highest mark in 59 years, since averaging 87.4 ppg in 1965-66. Illinois is on pace for the No. 4 scoring offense mark in program history.

Illinois ranks first in the Big Ten with a scoring margin of +18.8 points. That is on pace for No. 2 in the Illini record book behind the 1942-43 team, which outscored opponents by 20.6 points per game. The UI’s top mark in the modern era is +15.9 ppg set in 2004-05.

Illinois ranks second nationally in rebounding at 45.2 boards per game, on pace for the program’s best average in 53 seasons, since posting 48.0 rebounds per contest in 1971-72. The Orange and Blue have outrebounded their opponent in 16 of 18 games this season.

The Illini rank No. 10 in Ken Pom adjusted defensive efficiency (92.6), on pace for its highest ranking since reaching seventh during the 2021 season, and the second-best number of the Underwood era (88.9 in 2021).

Illinois is sixth nationally in Ken Pom’s effective field goal percentage defense (.431), ranking fifth in 3-point defense (.279) and ninth in 2-point defense (.436). Illinois joins Florida (9th in 2-point defense, 4th in 3-point defense) as the only programs to rank in the top 10 in both categories.

Illinois is 3-3 against Top-25 ranked teams this season with wins over No. 19 Arkansas, No. 20 Wisconsin, and at No. 9 Oregon. The Illini’s three ranked wins are tied for fifth most in the nation.

Illinois is a combined 5-3 in road and neutral games away from State Farm Center this season, with a 3-2 mark in true road contests.

Brad Underwood has led the Illini program to Top-25 rankings in six consecutive seasons, currently at No. 17 in the latest polls. Illinois has been ranked for a total of seven weeks this season, including an active streak of five-consecutive weeks, and has reached as high as 13th.

Illinois has registered 74 wins in league play since the start of the 2019-20 season, one behind Purdue for the most in the conference over the last six seasons. And when including the conference tournament, the Illini have 80 wins during this time span, also one behind Purdue’s mark.

The Illini won the 2024 Big Ten Tournament championship as the #2 seed, captured the regular season championship in 2022, and led the conference in wins while adding a B1G Tournament crown in 2021, and the team’s three total championships during that span are tied with Purdue for the most in the Big Ten.

Illinois has the Big Ten’s best road record since the start of the 2019-20 season. During this span, the Illini are 32-23 (.582) in conference road games, and have finished .500 or better in four of the last five seasons.

Following the 2024 Elite Eight appearance and Big Ten Tournament Championship, Illinois has a dramatically different roster this season. The program returns just one rotation player – last year’s ninth-leading scorer Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn – and returns just 2.9% of its minutes, 2.2% of its points, and 2.0% of its rebounds overall.

Newcomers to the Illini roster have accounted for 92.5% of the team’s scoring so far (1,428 of 1,543 total points), with UI freshmen accounting for 39.3% of those points (561).

Eight different Illini players have recorded a 20-point game this season, tied for the top mark in the NCAA, and the most by any Big Ten program since at least 2004-05.

Four of the Illinois’ top scorers and rebounders are all in their first year of collegiate basketball. Freshman G Kasparas Jakucionis ranks first in scoring (15.9 ppg) and fifth in rebounding (5.1 rpg). Sophomore C Tomislav Ivisic nearly averages a double-double at 13.0 points (second on team) and a team-leading 8.5 rebounds. Freshman F Will Riley is the Illini’s No. 4 scorer at 11.0 points per game. And Freshman F Morez Johnson Jr. ranks second on the team at 6.7 rebounds per game with a team-leading 45 offensive boards (2.5 per game).

At 15.9 points per game, Kasparas Jakucionis is on pace to tie the Illini freshman scoring average record of set by Kiwane Garris 31 years ago.

Morez Johnson Jr., at 6.7 rebounds per game , is on track for the fourth-best freshman mark in Illini history.

Ben Humrichous led the Illini in scoring in consecutive home games – 21 vs. Penn State and 15 vs. USC – with a combined eight 3-pointers. Humrichous is averaging 11.0 points and 4.9 rebounds over the last seven contests, while knocking down 16 3-pointers on .410 (16-39) shooting from beyond the arc.

Humrichous is one of two Big Ten players to knock down a 3-pointer in every game this season, along with Ohio State guard John Mobley Jr.

After opening the year averaging 7.1 points and 5.0 rebounds in his first eight games, Tre White has found a rhythm on the court for the Illini. Beginning with a 23-point, 8 rebound effort vs. #20 Wisconsin on Dec. 10, White is averaging 13.2 points and 5.8 rebounds over the last 10 games, scoring in double figures seven times.

During that same 10-game stretch, Kylan Boswell is averaging 14.2 points (142), 6.4 rebounds (64), and 4.5 assists (45). He scored a career-high 22 points in the Illini’s win at Indiana (Jan. 14), and posted the seventh triple-double in program history vs. Chicago State (18 p, 10 r, 10a) on Dec. 29.

Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn continues to make a big impact off the bench for the Illini in his sophomore season. Over his last eight games, Gibbs-Lawhorn is averaging 10.1 points while shooting 53.4% (31-58) from the field.

Morez Johnson Jr. is also excelling for the Illini. Over his last eight games Johnson is averaging 7.9 points (63) and 7.4 rebounds (59), highlighted by a 20-point, 11-rebound double-double in the win over Penn State (Jan. 8).

Junior guard Kylan Boswell recorded the seventh triple-double in Illinois history and fifth of the Underwood era against Chicago State, tallying 18 points, career-high 10 rebounds, and career-high 10 assists.

Point guard Kasparas Jakucionis scored 20+ points in six straight games from Nov. 25-Dec. 22, shattering the Illini freshman record for consecutive 20-point games (previous record was two). He has seven 20-point games this season.

Jakucionis became the fourth Big Ten freshman since 1996-97 with at least six-straight 20-point games, and the first to do so since Indiana’s Eric Gordon had seven in a row in 2007.

Jakucionis is averaging 18.5 points (203) over his last 11 games, knocking down an average of 2.5 threes per game (28) on 44.4% from 3-point range (28-63) along with 89.1% from the foul line (49-55).

Tomislav Ivisic is the No. 6 rebounder in the Big Ten at 8.5 rpg. Ivisic has led the Illini rebounding effort, which ranks No. 2 nationally in total rebounds per game, in 11 of 18 contests.

Ivisic, classified as sophomore in his first season of collegiate competition, has recorded seven double-doubles through 18 games, ranking third in the Big Ten, tied for 25th in the NCAA overall, and first among power conference underclassmen.

Only 15 games into his college career, Kasparas Jakucionis already has seven 20-point games, just one away from equaling the Illini all-time record for 20-point games by a freshman. Cory Bradford (1998-99) set the current Illini mark with eight. Jakucionis is tied for second with Ayo Dosunmu (2018-19) and Kiwane Garris (1993-94) at seven each.

Jakucionis‘ seven 20-point contests make him the fifth freshman of the Underwood era to record at least five such games in his rookie season, joining Dosunmu (7 in 2018-19), Trent Frazier (5 in 2017-18), Giorgi Bezhanishvili (5 in 2018-19), and Kofi Cockburn (5 in 2019-20).

Three Illini scored 20+ points vs. Penn State – Ben Humrichous (21), Morez Johnson Jr. (20) and Tre White (20). It marked just the third time in the last 35 seasons that Illinois had a game featuring a trio of 20-point scorers.

Freshman F Morez Johnson Jr. recorded his second double-double of the season Illinois’ Jan. 8 win over Penn State, recording a career-high 20 points and pulling down a game-high 11 rebounds.

Through 18 games, Johnson has recorded 19 total blocks, tied for eighth in the Illini freshman record book, and one behind Nnanna Egwu who posted 20 rejections in 2011-12. Johnson is on pace to finish his freshman season third among Illini freshmen all-time behind only Deon Thomas (54 in 1990-91) and Kofi Cockburn (44 in 2019-20).

According to KenPom, the Illini rank fifth nationally, and first among Power Conference programs, with a 3-point attempt rate (3-point attempts/total field goal attempts) of 30.8%.

Illinois leads the Big Ten in nine team statistical categories, with the following NCAA rankings: defensive rebounds per game (1st in NCAA; 31.8), rebound margin (2nd; 11.7), total rebounds per game (2nd; 45.2), scoring margin (5th; +18.8), 3-point percentage defense (6th; .279), 3-point attempts per game (8th; 31.1), field goal percentage defense (16th; .388), offensive rebounds per game (32nd; 13.4), and free-throw attempts per game (33rd; 23.6).

Illinois’ 32-point road win over #9 Oregon was the largest margin of victory ever by a road team over an AP Top-10 opponent, and the largest road win in Illinois program history against any top-25 opponent.

In their 109-77 win at #9 Oregon, Illinois became the first Big Ten team since Feb. 9, 1989, to record 100+ points in a Top-10 road win (No. 10 Michigan defeated No. 8 Iowa, 108-107).

Illinois also posted a dominant 94-69 win at Indiana on Jan. 14. The 25-point margin of victory was the second-largest for a Hoosiers’ opponent in Assembly Hall history, while Illinois’ 94 points marked the most ever scored by a visiting team in a regulation game at Assembly Hall.

The University of Illinois Fighting Illini men’s basketball team is gearing up to take on the Maryland Terrapins this Thursday at the State Farm Center in Champaign. The Illini are coming off a tough loss to Michigan State, but are looking to bounce back and secure a win on their home court.

The Illini have had a strong season so far, led by standout players like Kofi Cockburn and Ayo Dosunmu. They will be looking to continue their winning ways and make a statement against Maryland, who is also a tough opponent.

The State Farm Center will be rocking with excitement as fans come out to support their team. The Illini are hoping for a big turnout and a loud and energetic crowd to help propel them to victory.

So mark your calendars and come out to cheer on the Illini as they take on Maryland this Thursday. It’s sure to be an exciting game that you won’t want to miss! #GoIllini #IlliniBasketball #StateFarmCenter

Bloom Energy 2025 Data Center Power Report

According to New Power Report, AI Needs Are Driving Data Centers to Adopt Energy Sources Beyond The Grid

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Jan. 21, 2025 — As the energy needs of data centers continue to significantly outpace supply, a new report from Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE), a global leader in power solutions, predicts that 35 GW of data center capacity will be announced within the next five years — equivalent to over six times the average energy capacity used by New York City annually. To meet the soaring demand, data centers are adopting onsite power systems as a primary energy source, a shift that reflects the industry’s drive for innovative solutions to address economic imperatives and ease pressure on the nation’s aging power grid.

The 2025 Data Center Power Report surveyed approximately 100 data center leaders who make decisions about power systems architecture and explored actions they are taking to address the time-to-power challenge.

Key highlights include:

In the U.S., an additional 55 GW of data center IT capacity is expected to come online in the next five years (vs. the 25 GW of existing capacity today). Approximately 20 GW of additional capacity has been announced to date.
Data center leaders are taking responsibility for their power needs: approximately 30% of all sites are expected to use onsite power as a primary energy source by 2030 — more than double the percentage reported just seven months earlier.
Decision makers are now prioritizing new factors like time-to-power and the ability to support more demanding and fluctuating AI workloads, reflecting a shift beyond traditional drivers of cost and reliability.

Source: publicly available data center announcements; McKinsey & Company, “How data centers and the energy sector can sate AI’s hunger for power”; Reuters, “US electric utilities brace for surge in power demand from data centers”

“We see AI and cloud computing driving explosive growth in data center demand, and power availability remains the major bottleneck, ” said Aman Joshi, Bloom Energy’s Chief Commercial Officer. “The 2025 Data Center Power Report reveals that a growing number of data center leaders are turning to onsite power as a primary energy source. This underscores what we’re hearing from customers: they feel the urgency to address economic imperatives while ensuring reliable, scalable energy solutions.” Joshi noted that customers emphasized developing onsite power arrangements in close collaboration with utilities.

According to survey participants, access to power is expected to get more challenging. Public announcements of onsite power deployments have grown rapidly and indicate growth across technologies including fuel cells, which are gaining traction.

The 2025 Data Center Power Report is based on data collected from April to November 2024. Survey respondents represent both cloud service providers, or hyperscalers, as well as single- and multi-tenant data center developers. To add depth to the survey findings, Bloom Energy also commissioned interviews with key decision-makers and reviewed research from multiple external data sources including Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, McKinsey & Company, and Goldman Sachs.

A copy of the Bloom Energy Data Center Power report is available here.

Mobile Civic Center Arena roof collapses

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – The domed roof of the Mobile Civic Center — a building the city is in the process of demolishing — collapsed Wednesday morning.

This was a day after a record snowfall for the city of Mobile.

Just after 11 a.m., one witness posted on Facebook that he “heard it and felt the ground shake.”

Mobile city spokesman Jason Johnson said there were no injuries.

Johnson stated: “Based on an initial evaluation of the site, the arena’s roof did collapse in on itself due to the snow load. It … fell in in a manner that was consistent with the plans for demolition. There were no injuries and the mosaic murals have not been damaged.”

This is a developing story.

On January 21, 2023, tragedy struck the Mobile Civic Center Arena as its roof collapsed. The incident occurred during a routine maintenance procedure, causing significant damage to the arena.

Emergency services were quick to respond, and fortunately, there were no reported injuries. However, the structural integrity of the arena has been compromised, leading to its closure for the foreseeable future.

The Mobile Civic Center Arena has been a staple in the community, hosting a variety of events from concerts to sporting events. The collapse of its roof has left many in shock and disbelief.

As investigations into the cause of the collapse are underway, the future of the arena remains uncertain. Our thoughts are with those affected by this unfortunate event, and we hope for a swift recovery and rebuilding process. Stay tuned for updates on the status of the Mobile Civic Center Arena.

Issa Rae appeared at Houston’s Hobby Center

A rambunctious, sold-out crowd greeted actress/rising TV mogul Issa Rae during an appearance in Houston on Saturday, January 18.

Best known for creating and starring in the popular HBO show Insecure, the actress/film & TV mogul of color was in town for An Evening with Issa Rae, which took place at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts. Rae was in town to promote two things: One of Them Days, the just-released, number-one buddy comedy she produced starring Keke Palmer and SZA (she even made a post-screening appearance at Regal Edwards Houston Marq*E and Cinemark Tinseltown 290 on Friday night); and Viarae Prosecco, her sparkling white wine (which the theater was serving in the lobby via a special menu).

After an hour of local DJ CeeWatts playing tunes (from older, grown-and-sexy jams to club anthems) that hyped up the crowd, 97.9 The Box personality Keyshia Nicole came out to introduce Rae, who was hit with thunderous applause when she stepped onstage.

Rae and Nicole basically had a public gossip session, as they both sipped on Viarae and Nicole asked Rae questions ranging from the possibility of an Insecure movie (“I love that y’all love it, but I feel the story has been told,” she told the disappointed audience), how she handles being perceived in the industry (“I hate being underestimated, but I love it too”), men in LA (“They’re pretty… and wanna be bad b****es”), and who’s the better producer: DJ Quik or Dr. Dre (for Rae, it’s not Dre).

Later on, the crowd participated in an audience Q&A. At one point, a dude from one of the upper boxes didn’t even wait for a microphone and yelled out to Rae about getting him acting work on one of her shows. “I’m not doing any shows right now,” Rae told him.

The evening ended with Rae and two Houstonian actors who appeared in Insecure – DomiNque Perry and Kendrick Sampson – playing trivia games with groups of audience members, with Perry and Sampson as team captains and Rae as the host, spinning a wheel of topics. At one point, Sampson and Perry led the audience in a sing-along of Z-Ro’s “Mo City Don.”

After the event, Rae told a group of reporters backstage that this evening was a test drive for a live show she’s been working on. “This is still kind of an experimental show, like figuring out what it is,” Rae said. “And, so, I’m just grateful that people want to come and see what it is, and it’s something that we’re shaping. We’re doing another one in D.C. but it’s just always fun to meet the people who’ve been supporting me for a very long time.”

Rae certainly enjoyed trying things out in front of a very appreciative, very enthusiastic Houston audience. “They were amazing,” she said. “I mean, they were so, so hype and I could feel the love and the energy and the excitement. It was just a privilege to be in front of them.”

Last night, the talented Issa Rae graced the stage at Houston’s Hobby Center and delivered an unforgettable performance. The actress, writer, and producer, known for her hit show “Insecure,” captivated the audience with her wit, charm, and undeniable talent.

From sharing behind-the-scenes stories from the set of “Insecure” to discussing her journey in the entertainment industry, Issa Rae kept the crowd engaged and entertained throughout the evening. Her candidness and authenticity resonated with fans, who left the event feeling inspired and empowered.

It was truly a night to remember, as Issa Rae proved once again why she is a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. Here’s to more incredible performances and moments from this talented star. Thank you, Issa Rae, for gracing us with your presence at Houston’s Hobby Center.
