    You do like the rest of us and enjoy the success. This change made it possible for us to consistently get high end talent that fits coach's system. It doesn't have that same nostalgia feel, but we will get to that point in time.

    This is the new CBB and it is perfect for us. We weren't winning the 4 year game so the portal and quick fixes are perfect. This isn't to say it is the only way, but it does well holding us over until we find those guys.

    The biggest clue was the Hollywood James family leaving LA for Penn State.

    Pregame: Illinois vs UConn, Saturday, March 30th, 5:09pm CT, TBS

    North Carolina was the only team I didn't think we could beat that year. Sadly, no one knocked them out earlier. Thankfully that is still a season that I will always remember and love. It's so easy to lose on the road and get upset in the tournament. To go 32-1, and then beat everyone until we...

    I can't blame them. They've been rolling, blowing everyone out and won it all last year. We have a few stars so we can get hot and win it for sure. UCONN might also be sue for a let down.

    Playing with house money. Maybe the law of averages will help us win this game. UCONN can't play great forever.

    This was also repeated 5 times as well by that poster. Because of it, I put money on the Dukes and had them as an upset special. Our fans fear of BYU and that poster is what the college bball Gods feast on.

    No chance at a 2 seed. But that is okay because as a 3, we will be playing somewhere nice. Unlike being that 4 seed going to Spokane.

    No one said this. We always needed to make the BTT Final and get some help. Since we got a lot of help, we could still sneak in as a 3 with a loss today, but that would be pushing the envelope.

    Of course not. Don't be silly. They'd be a 7 playing as close to home as possible.

    We don't have any top notch wins. I think this ultimately keeps us off the 3 line unless we make a serious BTT run.
