LFG!!!
CBS acting like the Illini are the underdog here. Unreal.
From the Big Island, go Illini. Aloha.
CBS just slobbered all over VCU. Time to show them what Illinois is All about. ILL!
Charles Barkley openly admits he’s rooting for VCU. A-hole!

All just for building a storyline - at the end they all said Illinois too much for them.

Sheer the Rams.
Ok Illini, it's go time. Win or go home. Your legacy is on the line!
Need Z to be an enforcer on their drives and make them think about it when they get to the lane!
As others have said, Dorsey we have history with. He reffed our last 2 B10 games. He's pretty well respected and has reffed in 4 of the last 5 Sweet 16s. Hopefully he gives us a fair whistle tonight. If he calls flopping on drives though, VCU tend to be foul merchants so that's not great.
Greenstein is a B12 ex Pac 12 ref who also has S16 reffing experience. He calls slightly more fouls than the average ref, but in the physical B12, I'd expect him to allow a decent amount of contact. Probably not great for Keaton.
Covington is an ACC ref who has had some S16 reffing experience in the more distant past but hasn't gotten past the 2nd round recently. He calls more fouls on average than the other pair.
All 3 refs in this crew are considered Top 50 refs based on spotlight games. So experienced crew in this one.

Gulp…here we goooo!
About 3 fouls on that play that didn't get called before they FINALLY called one.
Like getting it to the rim early!
