3/28-3/29 Games Thread

In fairness, the choke job they pulled last year in the FF was equally bad.

That Houston press is no joke……

 

[Hoopster]

I detest UCONN, but there's some enjoyment in seeing Duke melt too

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Sports, man……

 

[Illini in OC]

Maybe Mashburn can feel better about the beloved now

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

Fire Scheyer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sp?

Or does he go to the Bulls now?

 

[Ignatius Shang]

I never shouted this loud in a non-Illinois game, OMG. Karaban was 0/5 in 3s today and Mullins was 0/4, and they both made the ones in the last minute.

 

[Mobi]

I honestly wanted to play UConn. They own us two.

 

[Battle89]

unbelievably stupid pass by Boozer. Just let them foul you

Makes up for that charge not called earlier.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Unbelievable comeback and finish by UConn

 

[SuperMetroid]

Does this mean we don’t have to see the Boozer commercials anymore?

That should be the rule for sure

 

[illinifan1987]

No words. Incredible is such a weak word, but I can't find a better one. NCAA Tournament Basketball.

Stupendous?

 

[wc_illini]

Our odds to reach the NCG just jumped from 44% to 54%:

And our championship odds just jumped from 16% to 20%:

They’ll make everything against Illinois I’m sure

Duke with another stunning collapse deep in the tourney that sends them home.

 

[kyillinifan]

We have to hit shots. Give up a 21 point lead is on the coaches for Dook. Hope no more Boozer CB commercials.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

This was a physical game. Boozer had some nasty scratches on his arm. We need to be ready to brawl.

 

[BackThatPassUp]

I wanted Duke. I think we match up better against them. Hopefully we learned enough from new York and we get them in our backyard like they did us.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Glad we get an extra day's rest for this one.

Going to be a tough, tough game, but I like the UConn matchup better than Duke for us. Glad to see Boozer out of it, he seriously commits offensive fouls every time he touches the ball and never gets called.

I'm the farthest thing from a scUM fan there is. But the fact that the SEC had 10 teams this year and couldn't get a single one of them into the FF is nothing short of hilarious.

Not really, none if them were elite. That was the problem with them all year. This was nowhere close to last year's SEC.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Absolute MADNESS!!!!

 

[ChiefGritty]

I wouldn't be alive right now if we'd been on either side of that play

 

[HuskyinKentucky]

You guys know I had to swing by here and say hello!! I'm shaking and having a tough time typing. I honestly don't even care if we lose next week to you all after what I just saw. See y'all next week

 

[TheChief4Life]

Dan would have had to unplug the servers.

 

[Piotyr]

NGL, I think Illinois has a much better chance against UConn than Duke, but I would enjoy seeing Hurley blitzed out of the tournament as well.

Fine, we'll do it ourselves.

 

[Boomauer]

Anyone else notice Sarr didn't have his hand up on that final 3 by UConn?

Yep...just stood there with his hands down.
