Beat Fran & Penn then we get UNC in South Carolina.... unreal! We can beat anybody BUT we can lose to anybody. BU must find some intensity out of this Illini team. Boswell MUST lead us thru this year's tourney!

Yep!
UNC kinda sucks now. Caleb Wilson was by far their best player and the engine that made them go. I think VCU has a good shot to beat them.
True but I like our path. Oh well.

Agreed, just saying they are hot and the Ivies hang tough usually. I'm still expecting a 15 pt win.
Please note: Thinking about a handlebar mustache and FOCUSING on a handlebar mustache are two different things.
Just show this to everyone who thinks Duke got the tough region.
The East is the "Prestige" region. Teams with history that underperformed during the year.
Figured you'd wait til Norlander posted Dan lol.

Ticket purchases available yet through the University?
Cannot do drop coverage on defense. Cannot shoot 40 threes. Somehow I think that’s exactly what we’re gonna do.
4th best odds to make s16, and slightly better odds than the #1 seed in our region. here’s hoping
Might be best if Tomi thinks less about his game and goes back to just playing the game with some fun and energy. I don’t care if he wears a fake ‘stache and glasses if it helps him relax.
This is a year where I'm not so bothered by de facto road games. We won in two absolutely raucous environments in WL and Lincoln.
I will be looking for Wagler to dominate vs. Penn. Huge game from him in game 1, set the tone for the tournament, make the crowd irrelevant whoever we play.

Some knickers sure are getting twisted about a throwaway question from a reporter about a mustache. Just win baby.
We really could not have asked for better draws in our bracket.
I am huge metrics fan. And even i think thats way too friendly second weekend odds.
Players only meeting is a good sign
VCU matches up well with North Carolina. VCU is not a typical A-10 team. They have 3 top 55 RSCI players. They have talent. I am also intrigued by Martelli Jr. as their coach. Maybe a future Illini coaching prospect? Dad was an assistant coach at Michigan as well as longtime St. Joe's coach.
The 1st game on Thursday will probably be an empty arena
Does upenn have an athletic pg? If so, we are screwed
