Finally – always fun to spend time with the great Loren Tate. Today was the 60th anniversary of his first @news_gazette story & he’s still out there taking notes (noticed him jotting down a depth chart), writing columns & hosting radio shows. He’ll be 95 in Nov. Man is amazing.

That went from an incredibly brutal first half to watch to the greatest comeback in history? Basketball does not make sense, what in the world is this game.
Game 4 is just honestly a brutal watch and it's totally because of the way the series has been officiated for the first three games. Now that they've allowed crazy contact everywhere, neither team knows where the line is and officials are having to make adjustments on the fly.

Shoutout Ty Rodgers man.. back to back season ending injuries is awful but he still showed up every day and wore the Illinois program on his chest with pride It’s almost impossible to get back to your former self, hope he finds a good landing spot to continue his journey

Would have loved to have seen @Tatelines get to cover an @IlliniMBB national title at age 94. I guess he’ll just have to do it at age 95…
Still putting in work at 94 🤯 Loren Tate is a media LEGEND who still does 4+ radio shows and a column every week 🎙️ He's covered @IlliniMBB for 60 years for the @news_gazette and added another Final Four to his resume this weekend 🙌 He spoke with @BTNDaveRevsine in Indy:

This is my 36th Final Four covering as a journalist. This is my 38th overall. I've never seen a team booed entering the arena. Sorry, UConn. You're awesome. But Illinois has taken over @LucasOilStadium! I think we could say this place is "blood" orange.
