    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    We played this entire season without a point guard and our coaches get a lot of credit for pulling that off. Ty, for all the negative comments made tonight towards him, also deserves a ton of credit. He did everything he could to become what we needed him to be. He was out of position all...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

    Not a single thing going right. Bad strategy from the get go to just go at Clingan. Playing scared and tight which was the last thing I thought would happen.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa State, Thursday, March 28th, 9:09pm CT, TBS

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    For all the talk about final four potential and all that garbage, we now witnessed the equal potential of a first round loss. I really hope this loss hurts and sits with them a long time! We can’t rely on 35 pt performances. We can’t continue playing sh#%%^ defense. We can’t piss ourselves...
