It'll definitely be free food and beer/wine/soda. Not sure exactly what other "entertainment" they will have. My reason for doing it is 1. Weather and 2. Worried there will be no open tables/spots at nearby restaurants or bars. Its going to be so busy everywhere.

Same, I figured screw it. I certainly am not going to want to drive anywhere once I get downtown.

I think this will be a very difficult game to win.

Great! The bigger the challenge... the greater the prize and satisfaction. Coach has always spoken over the years about wanting to play the best and measure yourself to that level. Yes Sir! That is the right way to think and lead young men.

Here's a more puzzling question: WHO will most Hoosier fans be cheering for? Will Big Ten envy and Illinois-rivalry rule and they join up with The Conns'? Or will pride in the Big Ten win out and the Illini pick up some unlikely supporters for at least this once?

Purdue fans will NOT be cheering for UCONN. They have open wounds, too. IU fans? Who knows.

To really add to our collective blood pressure, have it be in overtime. 😎

Has anyone/everyone gotten their tickets if they were confirmed that they were getting them? The confirmation said we’d get the tickets and instructions “by Thursday” but I’ve yet to see mine.

Booked my flights from SoCal.

Got tickets on seat geek. Incredibly expensive for 3 seats in section 213

I had to work in 1989 and 2005. I am 63 so this could be my last chance to see the Fighting Ivics take it all.

Go Illini

I don't think I can stand all the tv hoopla/overkill coverage. Deon and Brian will do radio, right? Probably not.

Torvik regular season rankings:

Illinois: 6
UConn: 9

Torvik NCAAT rankings:

Illinois: 4
UConn: 14

How in the world has UConn made the F4 while playing worse in the post season than the regular season?

It doesn't make a lot of sense. It could be due to the fact that games aren't played on paper/based 100% on analytics... They are played on TV sets. :)
