[Old Farm Illini]

Sounds like a coach that can’t shame his next school.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Xavier it is.. bring them on. they had a hard time stopping the texas offense... wait until they see our O...

Wait until they see our defense …

 

[IlliniFan42]

Preferred Xavier to Texas going into this and nothing's changed.

 

[Illiniguy13]

Wow what piss poor execution from Texas in that final minute

 

[kyillinifan]

X is hot or cold. Tx had them down. Can’t have turnovers and beat them on cuts. Tomi and Rez together against X. We beat them on the boards.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

terry is just an awful coach

where were the timeouts??? you can't take 'em back to austin...

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Wow what piss poor execution from Texas in that final minute

Most of the second half, actually.

No reason to sleep walk into Friday night.
Also, that was a weird !!! soundbite for Sean.

I'll admit I went into this game wanting Texas to win because they seemed like the less disciplined team, but watching it for a bit now, I find myself rooting for Xavier. Although the downside of whoever we play in these play in games that we're getting the team that wins and is feeling good about themselves, so we're not going to like it no matter the outcome!

Now I don't want Xavier to win, everyone on their team can shoot the three! I hope neither team wins is my official stance

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Sean Miller is one helluva good coach. His team isn't all that talented, but damn, he runs some plays and puts some serious fire into that group.

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

This feels like a Loyola setup for Friday.

 

[RickF]

Sean Miller. Next Illinois coach!

 

[LvilleILL1]

I can see why Texas lost a lot this year.

They were the 2016 Warriors according to half the board 45 minutes ago.

Cold when their 2 best players are in foul trouble …

Hot when they’re not …

 

[Heisenbobble]

The timing will never work out, but I've always hoped he'd coach The Beloved some day. Damn.

 

[Epsilon]

I don’t mind Sean. I like his interview comments.

Grammar police. “Could care less?”

I get it, it's a bad question to a coach that has been preparing for Texas and focusing on winning that game. Give him a minute to celebrate, will ya?

no one thought that.

Sean just being Sean … He wanted this win so bad …

It’s like getting the elephant off your back …

They’ve been scouting … They’ll be ready …

 

[ILL21]

Have not watched Xavier much this year but their grit was evident. Hope they are emotionally drained and we put them away early on Friday.

 

[RickF]

I had Xavier winning due to close to university

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

X gonna win

Idiot Texas coach should have called timeout. Total meltdown… should be fired after game WTF…. Remind me of a bears game and eflerbus choke job

I don't think it will be right after this game, but I think he'll be in the unemployment line in the next few weeks. They had way too much talent and money to have had the season they did.

More importantly, SEC is 0-1. I'm so tired about hearing about that conference. I'm sorry, but no team that's 6 under .500 in conference play should have gotten it, yet there Texas and Arkansas are.

[RimPressure]

So I guess on Friday we are either going to celebrate an Illini win or else kick off an offseason filled with "imagine what Sean Miller could do with Illinois' resources/NIL/facilities"???
