How does Domask match up to their defense?

I think Uconn is...nearly unbeatable.

BUT

I think we can hang with them if we play to our top potential. We absolutely have to hit from 3 and we absolutely have to play our best game defensively.

Uconn is an absolute f******* unit...but let's play with em.

Whatever happens on Saturday, this season is a success in my book. We got to an Elite 8, we beat a legit top 10 team who beat Houston twice, and we have gotten to witness one of the most connected teams in Illinois history(up there with 2005 team, 1989 team, early 2000s teams).

To be the best, you have got to beat the best. If we beat UConn, we are legit national title contenders. If we lose to UConn, it's b/c they're the better team. Either way, the season is a success. The guys will have to have the game of their lives but we don't count them out at this point

It will be a monumental challenge. We’ll have to make WAY more free throws, we’ll have to foul less, we’ll DEFINITELY have to avoid TSJ in foul trouble, we’ll need to hit more threes…

But guess what? We’re ONE win - one great performance where things go our way enough to be winning by just one point as the final buzzer sounds - from playing in the FINAL FOUR. 5 years ago around this time, I was watching Iowa stomp us in the BTT to end our losing season. I’m honestly just so thankful for the opportunity to give UConn our best shot.

With that said, I’m gonna need more than one more game from this special group … I’m thinking three more wins, please!! UConn is due for an off game, let’s go get ‘em.
