It’s sad that Chicago produces so many hoopers and all our programs are pretty weak. With all the nikkas that come out of Chi, it’s no excuse how DePaul, Loyola, UIC, shyt even Chicago state shouldn’t be making tournament runs every year.

glad to see DePaul making some noise tho, I think more hoopers will chose to stay in state/in city if they see city programs like DePaul having good seasons.

DePaul ain’t been in the tournament since 2004:snoop:

Chicago State :mjlol:

Them schools ain't got the booster to attract hoopers.

top chi talent (Specifically the city) goes to UK (or Memphis under Cal) KU and Duke almost exclusively. Can’t remember any big time 5* going any where else in the last 10-15 years off top.

Shannon Brown, Dee Brown, Evan Turner, were all from outside the city. MSU has some other chi private school kids but they were lower 4*

they don’t play at All State Arena anymore. They have a new stadium in South Loop, still not ideal, but much, much better than Rosemont. I went to a game there already this season and likely would have passed on the tickets if the game was still in Rosemont

I didn’t even know that and I’m around DePaul daily....that right there should tell you how the product is marketed.

Playing in a pro arena would be better for recruiting.

Do the women play on campus? Is there any on campus facility to host games?

the women play at the new arena in south loop as well.

it would be dope if they had an arena in lincoln park, would get a lot of students out to games, and just generally alot of city folks because it would be so accessible.

the new arena is much better than heading to rosemont tho, so it is a big improvement over that option at least

Yea breh a 5k arena in LP would be much better than 10k 8 miles from campus

It’s a 30 min drive to the south loop from LP during the times which games are held. And no students gonna public transport they ass across the city.
