Kofi is trembling
And WVUNCAA selection committee: we don’t do storylines, silly.
*Puts Loyola and OK State in our region*
Why is my bad memory telling me it was Northwestern State?Can't take anyone for granted, even Drexel. I wouldn't be surprised if we same some jitters early on and struggle because of it. Remember, even the 04-05 group came out flat against Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round. I think we only lead by 1 at halftime.
Don't want another '05 theft..If you want the all Illinois storyline bracket:
Illinois vs. Loyola R32 (David vs. Goliath state school)
Illinois vs. OK State S16 (Ayo vs. Cade, Underwood spurning)
Illinois vs. WVU E8 (Underwood coached with Huggins at K-State)
Illinois vs. Baylor F4 (Regular Season Rematch, Illinois has won their last 10(ish?) second match ups dating back to Northwestern last season.)
Illinois vs. Michigan Championship (Do I need to explain?)
Or Sampson for Eric GordonIf you want the all Illinois storyline bracket:

I’d say somewhere in Indiana if I was a gambling guyCan't wait to begin! We don't know location yet, right?
It is a good memory. The reason Northwestern State is stuck in your mind is that as a 14 seed they hit a fadeway three at the buzzer to beat Iowa. They will always be in the back of your mind.Why is my bad memory telling me it was Northwestern State?
We are in as a 1. I actually think Baylor has a tougher draw. Ohio St and Arkansas could definitely handle them.#3 overall seed? Thought we were in no matter what happened today.
Had WVU kept West Virginia Oscar Tshwediew they would have had the power. Imagine he and Kofi at each other.The way to beat us is with physicality...not sure who does that outside of maybe west Virginia
Actually I just looked it up and seems they were our 16 in ‘01. It’s all gotten foggy!!It is a good memory. The reason Northwestern State is stuck in your mind is that as a 14 seed they hit a fadeway three at the buzzer to beat Iowa. They will always be in the back of your mind.
Was that the team we demolished as the #1 seed in 2001 when people were saying we didn't deserve a #1 seed?Why is my bad memory telling me it was Northwestern State?
You... haven't watched OKSt? Get a touchy game where our bigs can't assert or stop Cunningham and we'd be fighting uphill.None of these teams should scare anyone
What was his name? Sampscum or something?Agreed. Would love to beat the crap out of Sampson's cougars in the final.
I picture us playing the undefeated Zags.. Indiana .. History vs History there.. who is going to make itIf you want the all Illinois storyline bracket:
Illinois vs. Loyola R32 (David vs. Goliath state school)
Illinois vs. OK State S16 (Ayo vs. Cade, Underwood spurning)
Illinois vs. WVU E8 (Underwood coached with Huggins at K-State)

Illinois vs. Michigan Championship (Do I need to explain?)
The team can't get caught looking ahead.I know it's a 1 vs 16 game but this thread is about Drexel. We shouldn't get caught looking ahead.
We played them as a 1 seed in 2001Why is my bad memory telling me it was Northwestern State?
#3Not that it matters, but are we the overall #2 seed, or #3 seed?
Why is that? If we lose to them are they going to take top 50-75 instate recruits from us?great
that’s a matchup we would likely NEVER see otherwise . not in our interest to ever play them
