Illinois 94 UConn 91......FIFY.......a week from Monday will be the total solar eclipse of the sun and the crowning of Illinois mens basketball as the best in the landI'm finally ready to make a prediction.
UConn is the best team in the country. We are playing better than anyone in the country except maybe them. We aren't going to be intimidated. We're going to stand toe to them.
But my head says we fall just a little bit short in a game that has lead changes and no team ever gets a double-digit lead.
UConn 94, Illinois 91 in a game people will talk about for years as one of the great NCAA tournament games.
I'm hoping for that scoreline. But I make official predictions with my head and not my heart . . .Illinois 94 UConn 91......FIFY.......a week from Monday will be the total solar eclipse of the sun and the crowning of Illinois mens basketball as the best in the land
Any possibility that we will rotate Hawkings, Dainja, and Hansberry through the middle to "attack" Clingan with Hawkins sometimes rotating with Quincy on the wing? I assume TSJ will attack the basket, which is additional pressure on Clingan.Hawkins is the key. Getting Clingan out of the paint changes everything.
I don't bet, but if Ty is in then Clingan will be on Ty, I would.Hawkins is the key. Getting Clingan out of the paint changes everything.
