I've finally cracked the case! I don't know if any superfans recall, but once upon a time about 4 years ago, whenever Illinois played MSU and shot free throws, there was a lady who made this loud East African-like cultural call as a form of distraction. Today, I heard that same exact call and it brought back horrid flashbacks. Ironically it was while an Ohio State player was playing Wisconsin and OSU was the home team. I thought who would learn that same exact call and same pitch and use it to help Wisconsin. Then I remembered, Travis Trice played for MSU around the same time as I heard those calls. His younger brother D'mitrik Trice plays for Wisconsin. Whoever makes that call is deeply associated with the Trices (i.e. mother, sister, cousin aunt, etc).

Wisconsin with the ultimate choke job.
Difficult to choke if you win. They just finished in the top 4 of the B!G for the 17th year out of last 18. Quite an accomplishment.
The real choke job was Iowa against Nebraska. Up 9 with under a minute to go and they lost in OT. I like them as our second round opponent (if we manage to beat Northwestern of course).

Did Fran go berserk?
At least the state of Illinois won’t be shutout of the NCAA tournament. Bradley wins the MVC tournament.
